LLANYBYDDER came away with an excellent 26-14 away win in Division Two West after producing a huge all-round effort to beat Fishguard at The Moor.
The hosts applied the early pressure, but solid defence kept them out and Llanybydder responded with half-backs Dion Thomas and Llyr Tobias varying play well, with some darting runs by winger Llyr James confirming his return to full fitness.
An early penalty from Steff Davies gave the visitors the lead, soon followed by a try for full-back Jac Wilson, who sprinted in from 30 yards as he supported a classic break by centre Elia Pellegrotti.
Fishguard replied as their lively openside Chris Sousha took a quick tap penalty and ran in almost unopposed from 40 yards. A conversion and a further penalty from fly-half Alun George ensured a half-time lead of 10-8 for the home side.
Llanybydder had the advantage of the conditions in the second period, and their maximum commitment earned them the victory.
Jac Wilson, who is on dual registration with Swansea, showed his class as he switched between full-back, inside-centre and fly-half position to cover for injuries.
Wilson kicked three long-range penalties, and scored the only try of the half as he supported a perfect grubber kick from fly-half Tobias.
Fishguard had periods of pressure, leading to a yellow card for Bydder flanker Wyn Davies for not retreating after a quick tap penalty.
Two penalties for fly-half George kept the hosts within range, but it was the visitors who sealed the victory.
Llanybydder now have two weekends off, before entertaining Mumbles in their next league fixture on Saturday, 12 November.
