This was a chapter of missed penalties, and neither side made much impression on the other as the game became no more than a hard slog in the mud.There was another punch-up and both captains were warned, and then Alan Reynolds foolishly late-tackled Justin Thomas and McCarthy, who had only managed to kick two penalties out of eight throughout the afternoon, landed his second to seal Swansea's fate.It was a hard physical encounter that would have been of little value for coaching purposes.Llanelli: J Thomas; I Evans, N Boobyer, M Wintle, W Proctor; M McCarthy, R Moon; R Evans, R McBryde, S John, P Davies (capt), P Jones, O Lloyd, J Williams, P Morris.Swansea: S Flowers; S Davies, M Taylor, D Wea-therley, R Boobyer; A Williams (capt), R Jones; K Colclough, G Jenkins, R Shaw, S Moore, A Moore, A Reynolds, C Charvis, R Appleyard.Referee: T Rowlands (WRU)..
