U8s v Fall Bay U8s

Cold, windy and cold and windy.

The split team faced an unbeaten Fall Bay side this Sunday in an 8-a-side match on the freezing tundra of Scurlage.

Mike Morgan forced his son to wear shorts, but failed to produce those much awaited pins.

The match itself was an absolute humdinger.

The Fall Bay side had pace and strength, but hadn't reckoned on the tenacity and skill of the Mumbles side. Mumbles reached 5-2 at half time with tries from Rhys (2), Ben M, Tom and Harry. Harry, scoring his first try for Mumbles went in from 40 yards.

In fact the whole team were buzzing for tags, and running. The Fall Bay threatened a number of times, but great tags from all the team prevent wave after wave of attack.

After half time the Fall Bay side galvanised themselves in fast free and game, leveling the scores before Connor was in support to go over for his first Mumbles try. Good runs from James, Keiran and Tom P, plus the constant support from Cian meant that we could have scored on a number of occasions.

With the last play of the game, Fall Bay tiptoed up the touchline to equalise and the final whistle to brought to an end an excellent game. Well worth the wind and journey.
