Bridgend …………..15
Carmarthen Q ……38
CARMARTHEN QUINS produced a stunning second-half comeback to down Bridgend Ravens.
Back on home soil at the Brewery Field, Bridgend led 10-7 at half time before the Quins came roaring back to seal a bonus-point success.
Rhodri Davies put the Quins ahead just five minutes and Josh Batcup converted. Tommy Morgan got Bridgend back into it with a neat try. Ravens flyhalf Jamie Murphy also missed a penalty and conversion but made up for it with a try just before the break to give his team a three-point lead.
That was pretty much as good as it got for the Quins who only scored five points after the break.
Davies and Batcup repeated their double act at the start of the second period and replacement Torin Myhill then got in on the act after a strong Carmarthen driving maul. From then on it was oneway traffic.
On the hour, Kemsley Mathias grabbed Carmarthen's crucial fourth try and Batcup continued his good afternoon with the boot. Nic Reynolds and Josh Davies rubbed salt in Bridgend's wounds.
Edd Howley's 79th minute effort was a mere consolation. This was a fine win for the Quins who produced an impressive performance both up front and behind the scrum.
