Elders Game Summary:
Jack Bates captained South Gower in this local derby which was played in very damp conditions. Fall Bay kicked the game off but great South Gower Defence ensured that we turned the ball over. From the turnover, we gained territory and Tom Mogridge raced over for a good try. Fall Bay replied with a fine try but South Gower were straight back at them. Ethan Smith showed great team support when Tom Jenkins was tagged. Ethan ran at pace, took a good pass from Tom and raced clear to score a great team try.
We went into the break 2 - 1 up and started with the ball in the second half. Some good tagging from Fall Bay earned them possession. When Fall Bay spilled the Ball, Harry Brown dived on the ball to secure possession. His pop went to Cameron Barker who raced clear to score a great try. From here, Fall Bay clawed one back but straight from the kick off Tom Mogridge went on a mazy run from the halfway line and scored a fantastic individual try.
With the final whistle coming, Fergus Kneath was passed the ball and made a tiger like dash for the line, he evaded the fall bay taggers to score in the corner. It ended 5 - 2 to South Gower. The greatest compliment to this team was that the Fall Bay coach congratulated us and commented on the way our players offloaded the ball to team mates coming on at pace. This proved the key and set up 3 of our tries. This is part of the game that we have been concentrating on in training and it is extremely satisfying to see it work on a Sunday. Well done everyone !!

Youngsters Game Summary:
Dan Garry captained the youngsters against Fall Bay's youngsters. Fall Bay started the game with possession and played well to score the games first try. South Gower replied and made territory but some good tagging by Fall Bay turned over possession. Fall Bay scored a good try with some great running from the pass. We went into the break 2 - 0 down.
We came out in the second half fired up and Laura Cheley went on a mazy run. Laura went across, backwards, across some more, backwards again before i finally caught up with her and pointed the way forward. Laura then proceeded to tear apart the opposition with her twinkle toe sidesteps before she was tagged. The ball was passed to captain Dan Garry and he raced clear of the opposition to score a great try in the corner.
Tomasso Morgan tries to beat the Fall Bay defense on the outside.
Fall Bay replied with 2 great tries. Both of them came from good running and good passing. The next try was scored by Morgan Israel. Morgan used his pace and awareness to cut inside and score a good try. We then turned possession over with great tagging but unfortunately, we were penalised for a forward pass which Fall Bay took advantage of and scored.
With the last minute of the game left, Tomasso Morgan had a great run and when tagged passed to Morgan Israel who took the ball at pace and scored a brilliant try in the corner. This was an excellent performance from our Youngsters especially as Fall Bay had to make up the numbers with a few of their elder players. So a big well done to our Youngsters !!!
