Match Reports

The hastily made 7s arrangements seemed to have got through in time, with 17 players turning up at South Gower. As a reward, they were also treated to an unexpected Penlan fixture. As reported by Rob, these challenges were met with great enthusiasm by all of the squad. Mentioned in dispatches were Max and Cai's tagging, Dylan's speed, Jake's commitment, Megan's running, and interplay from Thomas, Elias, Ethan, and Ava. Both matches were tight, with only a try separating the sides. The best performance came against Penlan, where a last-gasp try denied the 7s a draw with the team that contained several players that overturned the 8s last week.

The Tonmawr Alps were frozen solid, leaving only 1 match for the 8s. We all went down the park anyway, and the boys entertained with a 12-6 win over a good Bonymaen side. Tries came from near and far. Rhys Davies, Tom L, Lloyd and Rhys C stretched their legs, James ran in a cracker from the halfway line, and Ben H's brace followed from strong defensive work and turnovers. The game was close and physical. One not to miss next season.
