Division Two (West) A:
Jones grabs a hat-trick as Borderers bag deserved promotion
Congratulations to Whitland as three tries from hooker Marc Jones helped them win 34-10 at third-placed Pontarddulais and ensure promotion back to Division One (West) at the first attempt – with the chance of picking up the section silverware still a distinct possibility as they are now level with Hendy but have a game in hand.The Borderers found themselves 5-0 in arrears early on as No 8 Craig Davies scored from close range but with skipper Nico Setaro probing for openings from the efforts of his pack, they were soon level with a try by Jones from a rolling maul – and were 12-5 in front at the oranges as some quick hands amongst the backs saw Jonathan Thomas slice through for a quality try which Setaro converted.
The tremendous work rate of the Whitland pack saw two more support tries for Jones alongside others by Scott Lloyd and Nico Setaro, who added a second conversion to round off a great evening for The Mighty Borderers!

Josh Hicks, John O’Boyle and Gethin Thomas scored for The Wasps, with Luke Hayman kicking a conversion.
Laugharne enjoyed a hard-fought 22-10 at Haverfordwest as Tom Jameson exerted a considerable influence by scoring the first two tries and added one conversion as they led 12-5 at half time – veteran hooker Graham Jenkins responding for The Blues with a close-range try.Ross Michael added a third try for Laugharne in the second half and Jameson was again involved as he notched the conversion and a penalty.
The Blues were always in the game but failed to turn pressure into points and all they had to show for their efforts was an unconverted try by Josh Atherton.
