Builth Wells 20 Kidwelly 6
BUILTH Wells made a mockery of the league table to comfortably despatch Kidwelly to celebrate a third win on the trot.
The Bulls have finally hit form following a miserable start to the season with their three successive victories seeing them climb away from danger.
Director of rugby David Jones said: “In recent years we have always picked up form in the new year and this is the case in 2011.
“Perhaps we should have our club’s Christmas dinner in September,” joked Jones.
Fly-half John Thurston enjoyed a splendid afternoon with the boot and the former Newtown youngster broke the deadlock with a penalty.
Builth continued to dominate possession and succeeded in crossing for a try with scrum-half Ben Pugh crashing over after a series of scrums on the Kidwelly try line.
Thurston navigated the conversion but Kidwelly mustered a riposte with two penalties from fly-half Lyn Walters.
Builth Wells dominated the second-half while the ill-disciplined visitors continued offences saw referee Ieuan Williams award the home side a penalty try to seal victory.
Thurston converted and completed a superb contribution with a late penalty to help Builth to claim a notable scalp.
Jones added: “We kept our discipline well in the second-half and while Kidwelly were throwing punches we were scoring points.”
BUILTH: Price, Morgan, Bayliss, Thomas, Morris, A Duggan, Behan, B Duggan, Pugh, Thurston, G Davies, Garrod, L Davies, Powell, Lloyd. Reps - Hughes, Taylor, Rampleu, De Winton
