Squads for the match will be selected in training and both teams will be of equal strength/ability!!!
Please make every effort to attend this session!

Classy Penclawdd Set The Standard!!
Stingrays were well beaten this morning over at Penclawdd! Both sides were depleted by illness but we were all keen to have a game,and we thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
The boys battled hard throughout but Penclawdd proved to be too strong with a good forward platform providing plenty of ball for a very talented back line to exploit!
We definitely suffered from the fact that we had to play too many boys in positions they were not familiar with and although our forward effort was typically committed,we didn't play with anywhere near the structure we have been used to in recent weeks!! We certainly had our moments in what proved to be a real physical challenge,and Harry deserved his well taken try after one of his trade mark runs. Dan was man of the match,putting in a solid all round display packed with powerful runs,big hits and great skills(well done mate).
Thanks to the Penclawdd boys for their warm welcome and we look forward to playing them again in the very near future! You've got to test yourself against the best to learn and from what we've seen, Penclawdd are definitely setting the standard at under 11!
Final Score;
Penclawdd 40 Stingrays 5

Put It Down To Experience!!!
Gowerton,Sunday 1st Feb! - one the boys will remember for quite some time I think, and not in a very positive light unfortunately!!
Having been on the receiving end of very poor refereeing in the corresponding fixture last season we probably knew we wouldn't be given many favours, but no-0ne could foresee the deliberate, cycloptic rubbish we had to endure today. Basically we were refereed off the park by someone who was determined to hand a victory to the home side and the boys recognised this only too well. In 40 minutes of what was a fierce contest up front, we were awarded zero penalties and a couple of scrums compared to in excess of twenty penalties and numerous scrums. To sum up the ref said "I only ref it as I see it". Therein lies the problem,because he was clearly only looking for infringements from us!!!
However, the boys stuck to the task and battled on regardless,producing some powerful counter rucking with some strong runs and big hits. Overall, we were a little below par but still deserved more for our efforts. The TMO (Gowerton coach/parent) disallowed a perfectly good try in the first half and the ref echoed the effect late on in the second! (choosing to award a penalty to the home side instead).
Result: Gowerton 12 Stingrays 7
(Allowed) Tries: George
Cons: Callum
Refereeing is a thankless task and everyone realizes that mistakes will be made (frequently), but both teams have the right to expect fair play and equal treatment! Today was unfortunate but there won't be a third time!
Mom - Ewan Gully
Another outstanding, totally committed effort from Ewan! Some powerful runs, massive hits and great rips. Great stuff mate!
Player Of The Month - Jake Davies
Enjoyed a great month in matches and training. Jake has consistently produced the goods this month. Well done mate,keep it going!
