Myhill guides Quins past in-form Drovers in derby

CARMARTHEN Quins inflicted a second loss of the season on Llandovery after a thrilling victory at The Park in the West Wales derby.

The Quins have been in mixed form this season with three wins and three losses, with a 26-13 defeat against RGC 1404 last weekend leaving them in mid-table in the West conference.

But this victory – solidified by 16 points from the boot of young Scarlets outside-half Dan Jones – puts them back on track in the Premiership.

A busy opening quarter began with Jones putting the hosts on the board with a penalty. The Drovers, who entered the game as the boys to beat in the West with five victories to their name, replied with a try from Duane Edgar – with the conversion missed.

And minutes later it got even better for the visitors when Shaun Miles crossed with Kristian Jones adjusting the radar to split the uprights.

But Jones ensured the Quins remained in touch with a penalty soon after and Morgan Griffiths put them ahead once again as Jones kicked a conversion and a penalty just before the interval.

The second-half remained quiet as both teams struggled to find clear-cut opportunities. Jones kicked another penalty in the final five minutes with Torin Myhill crossing for a try at the death to confirm the victory and givethe Quins a fourth win of the season. Star man Dan Jones - Carmarthen Quins
