Worthington’s Malcolm Thomas Cup Final

Penarth 34-12 Llanharan

Penarth wrapped up a successful season with silverware as they defeated rivals Llanharan at Glamorgan Wanderers to lift the Worthington’s Malcolm Thomas East District Cup.

Sam Sully, George Roberts and Joe Roberts all scored unconverted tries in the first half as Penarth took a 15-7 lead into the interval.

Llanharan were on the scoreboard either side of half time; first through Richard Byers – converted by Lewis Cogbill – and then Teirion Jones went over unconverted.
