Electric Drovers survive blackout to see off Quins

IT took two-and-a-half hours to complete the game, but Llandovery eventually came out on top after overturning a first-half deficit.

The lights went out as the clock reached 40 minutes and referee Ben Whitehouse was forced to abandon the last scrum of the first half to let the electricians to get to work on the blown fuse.

They got the lights working in time for the teams to return on time for the second half, but they blew again.

That put the game in serious doubt until a council electrician arrived to save the day. Whitehouse then gave both sides a 10minute warm up before getting the game underway again 30 minutes later.

The Quins took the lead after five minutes when Steff Marshall put in a perfect cross-kick to allow Dylan Morgans to run onto the ball and score in the corner.

Quins lost flanker Ellis Lloyd to the sin-bin for a late tackle on Jack Maynard and two minutes later the Llandovery outside half kicked a penalty off the home 22. The Quins hit back with an Aled Thomas penalty from 30 metres.

Maynard punished a high tackle six minutes after the re-start to cut the gap to two points and then saw flanker Stuart Worrall pounce for a try after his drop shot was charged down and bounced back off the post pad. Maynard added the conversion and then a drop-goal.
