programme cover: Spencer Williams & Stephen Walley in Kangeroo Court in Teignmouth
Report from Llanelli Star

Llanelli Warriors XV: Dai Spriggs, Colin Talcon (Rob Bevan), Lee Jones, Alun Stephens, Lee Rowlands (Mathew Coehlo), Des Williams, Dean Gilasbey, Mike James, Jason Jenkins (Edward Williams), Andrew Evans, John Horwood, Stephen Walley, Ray Millet, David Newson (Cpt), Gwilym Lewis.

Tries: Lee Jones (2), Dai Spriggs (2), Rob Bevan, Gwilym Lewis.
Conversions: Dai Spriggs (2)
Man of the match: Alun Stephens.
With the game coming shortly after the rout of Dura and with the Wanderers JSP needing to borrow a few players there was an air of complacency and over confidence about the Warriors and they should have scored a few more points.
However Ray Millet (who again narrowly missed out on the man of the match award) and John Horwood led a strong pack performance which included some fine rucking. Stev Walley stood out in defence with un confirmed rumours of 3 tackles. Dai Newson was unlucky not to be awarded his 1st try of the season but again led from the front.
6 tries shows the cutting edge the Warriors possess. Alan Stephens didn't get on the score sheet but was named man of the match whilst Ed Williams, Mathew Coelho and Colin Talcon did well. Finally thanks to Mike Spriggs for filling in at ref.
