U9's Bonymaen Home 26.11.06

Date : 26/11/2006
Score : South Gower 5 : Bonymaen 3
Tries : Tom (3) Sam (1) Josh B (1)

Under 9's : 2006-2007

Game Summary:

After some extremely loud thunder and rain the night before, the sunshine and blue sky was a very welcome sight and a good omen for what was to follow. From the kick off, Bonymaen applied pressure that was dealt with very well. Tackling was not bad but, again, two tries were given away due to tackling too high or in some cases not tackling at all. Before the end of the first half, South Gower replied with a fine run by Tom, but again a missed tackle let Bony in for one last try.

The score was 1:3 at half time and emphasis was placed on getting to the ruck quickly and passing the ball out before we were pushed back.

From the kick off, South Gower kicked the ball dead, but Bony decided to run. South Gower put in two hard tackles and with some good driving, Tom scored - 2:3. South Gower continued to apply pressure and started to reap the rewards of training. Three further tries ensued due to quick recycling and some good passing and support. Sam scored a great swerving try, Tom got his hat trick and Joshua Burt finished things off showing good support and a great turn of pace.

After an excellent run from Matthew who drew the defender and just failed to get the pass away, the final whistle blew. South Gower had won their first game of the season 5:3 .

Well done boys - pints all round (of lemonade that is) !!
