 Wands ...................... 28 Llanelli .............................. 30 WANDERERS head coach Richard Hodges said he was "massively disappointed" after seeing his team pipped by Llanelli.

The home side crashed out in the last quarter after building up a 23-10 lead, so ending a run of three Welsh Premiership league wins.

Llanelli had a powerful pack of forwards and smart three-quarters, spearheaded by star centre Steve Martin Noun 1. Steve Martin - United States actor and comedian (born in 1945)

Prop Ian Jones crossed for a 34th-minute try that enabled Llanelli to take a 10-6 interval lead.

Wanderers' tries came from outside-half Scott Sneddon and strong wings Steve Cullen and Rory Budina.

Sneddon also kicked a hat-trick of penalties and two conversions.

But Sneddon could not cash in upon a late Wanderers' forwards surge and he failed with two dropped goal attempts in injury time.

"We bombed four try-scoring opportunities and a couple of those were after we had crossed the line," Hodges said.

"We can't do that at this level. We don't have any complaints, we were just not good enough."
