Quote JP : Shaking head "Too much football on a saturday"



It was classical crisp December morning in Wales. In a car park in front of Rhymney Rugby's Club house, several brown bags containing copious amounts of Haribo were exchanged, allowing for Clwb to get the numbers they needed to put a team on the field; and what signings these turned out to be.

Clwb with their shirts inside out gelled instantly well with the new recruits, handshakes all around. You could smell the anticipation in the air, mixed with the aroma of Mel's quality hot chocolate.

 Clwb kickoff'd, but soon took control of the ball, with Osian going over for the opening try. Yet despite Clwb scoring again through Charlie, Rhymney came back strong with two impressive tries of their own. Our new signings (the front row union) were immense in the scrum, giving Cai B quick ball to operate with. Felix had a number of forceful runs and his running on the shoulder and quick hands led to Clwb going over twice more before the half, but Rhymney struck back; meaning the half time score stood at 3-4. All to play for.

Second half, and Clwb had some more new recruits. We might have lost our new front row, but we gained some skilful backs. Again, an exchange of handshakes and game on. Cai B was playing with increasing confidence running everything back, with one special run down the wing, where he decided pointing at the sky from the halfway line was a good idea; chwarae teg, he went under the posts. Clwb ran in another great try from a line out just inside their own twenty two (try of the season - James). Cameron went over for two more tries from Osian and Charlie extend the lead. Rhymney scored an outstanding try of their own in return that had everyone applauding.

The game ended, and Clwb were victors on the scoreboard. In truth, the real victor of the day was Rugby, Rhymney were the perfect hosts, so generous with their players and attitude and spirit to the game. So a massive thanks to Rhymney from Clwb, coaches, parents and players alike, for making today happem.

 
And one last thing Clwb, we need to invest in more brown paper bags and haribo!!!

 

 

Ymlaen.
