BUILTH Wells coach Hugh Lloyd shared his pride after his side stunned Admiral Division One West Central leaders Birchgrove on Saturday.

Tom Hughes starred with a hat-trick of tries but Lloyd insisted the entire squad deserved plaudits after recording their biggest win of the season.

The result and performance was also the best since Lloyd took on the head coach role following the departure of the long-serving Ben Duggan at the end of last season.

The visitors failed to travel for a Division One Cup clash at the Groe the previous week when the Bulls were handed a walkover.

Hughes led the scoring with three tries while Rhodri Jones and Alecs Williams each crossed for two tries each while Finn Jones, Dylan Jones, Cerith Davies, Ashley Mills and Connor Grannell each crossed the whitewash as Lloyd was left jubilant.
