PONTYBEREM travelled to Burry Port on Saturday (Dec 15), and came away with an excellent 33-5 victory in difficult conditions.
The Bont were looking to bounce back after a disappointing reverse at Fishguard last weekend, in an attempt to keep in touch at the top end of the league, while opponents Burry Port were also looking to get back to winning ways.
Despite the conditions, with credit, the pitch was in surprisingly good nick, but the weather was remarkably bad with both heavy rain, freezing temperatures and high winds throughout the 80.
Pontyberem put in an excellent performance on the day, one which has been described as possibly their best of the season so far.
They scored five tries in their 33-5 victory and showed good determination, strength, discipline and no lacking in skill and great handling.
Burry Port suffered an injury midway through the first half and they opted for uncontested scrums from then on.
The try scorers for Pontyberem were Centre Aled Rees (2), wing Tom Lloyd, no8 Wayne WIlliams and Centre Mike Jenkins with one apiece. Mike Sauro amazingly kicked the other eight points.
Burry Port battled hard and crossed over in the final play for a deserved try that was unconverted.
It was a great win for Pontyberem and that now sets up an exciting fixture with local rivals Tumble on Saturday (Dec 29).
Burry Port will now look for a return to winning ways in their next fixture, away to Loughor.
