Match Reports and Stats for Sun 28th Sept
What a feast of running rugby we had today!! The sun shone brightly and so did the Sharks and Stingrays.Some of the play was simply wonderful,with great running,superb offloads and bone crunching tackles galore.
The SHARKS got the ball rolling with a tough game against a good team from Dunvant and after a slow start,played some cracking stuff with some powerful running and passing out of the tackles resulting in some really nice tries.The second half was a very close encounter in which we took hold of the game and created some quality scores.Unfortunately,we'd left ourselves a bit of a mountain to climb,but the boys dug in and showed great commitment right to the final whistle.Well done to you all!!
Final Score: SHARKS 42 Dunvant 76
Tries: Ewan, James, Joe Phillips, Morgan, Oliver and Tomos
Cons : Ed, Ewan, Jack (2), Joe Phillips (2)
The STINGRAYS put in another strong performance against what was a good Uplands side.It was pleasing to see good organisation in both attack and defence with some good hands,powerful running and big hits!!.Rucks were fiercely contested and the boys certainly had to put their bodies on the line.It was a really exciting game with both teams prepared to play with width and get their runners into space.The boys are really starting to play for each other and enjoy their rugby.Well done guys-keep it goin!!
Final score: STINGRAYS 42 Swansea Uplands 31
Tries : Connor, Ewan (2), Harry (3)
Cons : Callum (4), Connor, Harry

Match Report and Stats
Stingrays got the season off to a great start at Underhill,with a seven try win over Waunarlwydd. The boys played with great awareness and structure, with the forwards setting the platform for some nice back play.Ball retention in the rucks was excellent,as was the counter rucking when Waun went to ground.All the team tackled well and the backs ran with great determination into the spaces.
We did spill the ball a little too much as a result of not carrying with both hands,but some of the support play was a joy to watch.On the whole, a great start with plenty to work on ahead of next weeks game against Swansea Uplands.
Sam Jones sustained a nasty looking injury half way through the first half and was taken to hospital with a suspected dislocation/break.He unforunately fell awkwardly onto his arm when tackled in full charge,and was clearly in pain.We all wish him well and hope he's back on the pitch in Mumbles colours soon.
STATS - try scorers; George Jawad (3),Joseph Phillips (1),Harry Davies (1),Jake Davies (1) and Connor Bateman (1)
no conversions were attempted!!
Well done to all the squad for a great start to the new season.See you in training on Wednesday .
