We saw a great game of rugby this morning! A fiercely contested forward battle and some lovely back play by both sides ensured a close contest. Gowerton got the first try and conversion to take an early 7 nil lead,but our forwards took control resulting in some powerful bursts from all our pack. Then, from some good ruck play, quick ball enabled our back line to put Harry in to space and he went on a mazy, unstoppable run to score in the corner. 7 - 7 at half time!
Stingrays continued to dominate a strong Gowerton pack early in the second half, the pressure resulting in a powerful burst from George J who bashed his way over to put us in front. Connor added the conversion to make it 14-7 .
The boys were on a roll now and shortly after Tom went on a storming run to surge his way through for a well deserved superb score, Connor adding the conversion once more to take us into a 21-7 lead.
Gowerton got another try right at the end, from a scrappy lineout close to our line when we failed to clear the ball from behind our try line. Final score 21-14! A well deserved, hard earned win, and all the coaches told the boys how proud of them we were.
Thanks very much to Stuart for refereeing (AGAIN) and thanks on behalf of the team, to all the parents for a very vocal support!
Many thanks to all of you who made the effort to come to the club post match. It was great to see the boys sat in a group talking about their win and clearly enjoying the taste of a sweet victory!!!
Man of the match was awarded to Rhydian (The RIPPER) George for a superb "pain in the backside/in your face" type performance from start to finish! Well done mate.
