Training

Training is off on Tuesday 23rd February due to bad weather:O:L:P:)

Mumbles 14 Fall Bay 7

We had a cracking game of rugby at Underhill today,with both teams putting in a great effort. Fall Bay took an early lead with a superb score in their first attack of the game,but we rallied to get two converted tries of our own and run out winners 14-7.

We dominated the first half after conceding the early score,with scrum half Jack powering his way over from short range and big Joe Phillips creating a clean break to gallop over from a full 40m,before the half time break. Both touchdowns were converted by Myles.
Fall Bay put us under relentless pressure in the second half as they went in search of an equalising score.They went close a number of times,just knocking on before crossing our line on one occasion.
Our defence held firm and with no score in the second period we held on for a narrow,hard earned win.
A great game of rugby with both sides playing their part. Well done boys!!

Pontyberem semi spot!!

The boys played some cracking rugby in the tournament at Pontyberem on Sunday. It was clear that we had been drawn in the" group of death" with Burry Port,Kidwelly and Crymych to keep us company but we battled our way through to the semi-final stages.
First up was a tough game against a well organised Crymych team whose defence was tremendous. We put immense pressure on them,with wave after wave of attack but they held firm until just before the end.Ewan and George J got us the tries to seal a 10-nil win.
Next,we faced a very strong Burry Port side,narrowly losing a close game by two tries to nil.
It all hinged on the final pool game which promised to be a tough encounter against a big and pacy Kidwelly outfit.As all the parents looked on the tension was almost unbearable but we were simply superb,blowing them away three tries to nil with tries from Ewan ,George J and The "dynamo" Joe Phillips.
So,we progressed to the semi-final to play a strong home side (Pontyberem) where we played some great stuff again,but couldn't quite reproduce the efficiency and power from the Kidwelly match. We certainly battled hard,but lost out 15-5, Joe Phillips getting the touchdown again.

Well done lads,it was a great day and we all enjoyed watching you play some wonderful rugby!!!
