At some point this season this team was going to cut lose, and today was that day.

 

It was fantastic to see everyone working together, pulling in the same direction and that direction was ymlaen.

 

Speed, handling and vision were all on display. The ball was shovelled wide time after time, stretching the Whitchurch defence, allowing our runners to exploit and find holes across the park. Osian MD had a huge game in the tackle and carrying the ball forward. Bleddyn had a great run down the wing, only to be denied a try through a high tackle. Bethan put in a Captains performance and Charllie was like Rickson Gracie in the tackle and ruck; But today one player really stood out Cai B, not only for his hatrick but also for his Sonny Bill William like hands that put Theo in for one of his trys - one second the ball is bouncing around the floor, the next it has been scooped up in one motion and almost placed into the hands of Theo to place over the line - pure magic.

 

 

Massive thanks to Coach Aled and Coach Bryan who marshalled the troops today.

A change in year was the real only change on display. It was another early Sunday morning on a lovely muddy field, anticipation in the air and still the same old sleepy start we have come to expect; we were 2 tries down before we knew it.

The team with the I in it's name, funnily, played more team rugby and got quick results, stemming from the turnover at the ruck and quick distribution. Clwb managed to stay in touch throughout the half, bringing the score back to 4-3, but they had been outplayed for the most part across the 'square' pitch. Saying that Mabon and Rhys had made a number of thunderous runs and Cai was doing a grand job of impersonating Shane Williams.

The second half started and CRICC crossed again; but that only served as the wake up to CLWB. Charlie ensured the ball was ours for most of the second half and with ball in hand, tries were bound to come... and they did with such style and determination, plus rapturous applause and parental 'hooting'. With the scores tied at 6, everyone felt the game was for the taking, but chwarae teg to CRICC, they dug deep and forced a try with pace on the outside and not much time left on the clock.

A close game which in truth could of gone either way bar a few decisions. Well played all and I for one am already looking forward to the next time these two teams cross swords.
