Aberavon Quins XV 22 Penlan 15

The Quins were made to fight hard to gain a victory over a well organised Penlan outfit. From the kick-off Penlan took possession from the Quins pack and rolled a maul twenty metres for a touchdown by Lock Kurt Velardo. The Quins settled and kept the visitors penned in their own half and Marc Sheppard put the Quins in front with two penalty goals. The game was held up for a half hour due to a Penlan injury

On the restart the Penlan pack stormed to the Quins line but the home defence held. Good counter attacks from Steve Colarusso and Ryan Pugh gained ground and pressure from the Quins pack gained a penalty close to the try line from which flanker Adam Dawe scored and Sheppard converted to make it 13-5 at half time.

Any thoughts that the Quins would extend their lead were soon dismissed as Penlan took control with smart back play and well drilled forward play. A great kick ahead by Pritchard was gathered by Butt who outstripped the Quins defence to score. More problems were created by the visitors pack and another maul saw Dean Davies score to take the lead. Sheppard quickly restored the Quins lead with a penalty and added two more to secure a very shaky victory but kept his team at the top of their league.
