Unbeaten Stingrays!!

The Stingrays returned from Bridgend unbeaten today after putting together four organised and committed performances.
First up were Nantyffyllon and the boys dominated the match, scoring two lovely tries;

Nantyffyllon 0 Stingrays 10 (tries Joe Phillips x 2)

Next,we faced Porthcawl,w hich was a close game where both sides ran well!

Porthcawl 0 Stingrays 5 (try ; Ewan Gully)

The third fixture was a tough,physical battle with Loughor,but Stingrays again dominated the forward exchanges to just edge the result;

Loughor 5 Stingrays 10 (tries: Ewan Gully and Sam Jones)

Finally, our friends from Fall Bay stood between the Stingrays and an unbeaten afternoon and the game certainly lived up to its headline billing!! It was brutal as both sides desperately wanted to walk away victorious. Fall bay scored a superb early try only to be pegged back by a fierce Stingray assault on their try line.
We got a great try to level and continued to dominate the forward exchanges, before Fall bay got back in front with a nicely worked score.
Stingrays were not beaten though and they took the game to their opponents again, gliding in for a simple try after more power plays up front.

Fall bay 10 Stingrays 10 (tries Ewan Gully and Callum Evans)


The boys should be pleased and proud of their efforts and we all enjoyed a fantastic afternoons action in the sun. Lets hope the weather is just as kind in Leominster for the Anglo-Welsh tournament.

WELL DONE TO YOU ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!

Parking for today's Tournament (Apr 5)

I've been advised that parking could be problematic for the Ospreys Cup Tournament in Bridgend!

The best (closest) place to try is the Recreation Centre (CF31 4AH),which is opposite the Newbridge playing fields. However, there are a number of teams playing in the morning, so this is likely to be well used.

If you end up using one of the streets, please be careful where you park as the majority are 'resident permit' controlled.

Alternatively, you can try Bridgend Athletic club (CF31 3HP) which is about a 5 minutes or so walk away.

See you all there.

Ospreys Cup Tournament - Sun April 5

The tournament takes place this Sunday afternoon at Bridgend Athletic playing fields. Our squad will need to arrive for 1.30pm which will allow us some warm up/team prep time.
We will be playing group matches against Nantyffyllon, Porthcawl, Fall Bay and Loughor.
Our last game is scheduled to be against Fall Bay, kicking off at 16:30.


Directions;
Exit M4 at junction 37 and head towards Bridgend on the A48 (beware speed camera in 50mph section). Go straight over Broadlands roundabout then look for a left turn into Merthyr Mawr Road. Playing fields on left hand side, just off Bowham Avenue




Check out the map on the Bridgend Athletic website, http://www.bridgendathleticrfc.com/extras.htm


For those with new fangled Sav Nat thingies, a good target is CF31 3PA which should take you to Bowham Avenue, right next to the playing fields.
