We finally did it !

The Under 12s team may have left it to the last game of the season but they pulled off a fantastic win over North Gower (Penclawwd).

The games against Uplands and Mumbles saw some fantastic improvement from matches earlier in the season. The team has improved game by game and they saved their best performance till last with a convincing win 4 tries to nil.

Many thanks to all the boys who have played and trained with us this season, the effort you have put in and the reluctance to give up was proved how strong you are.

We will see you all for the presentation night at the club on the 17th of May.

Summer fun training starts on Tuesday the 22nd of May

Ospreys V Leicester - EDF Cup Final - Twickenham

On behalf of everyone who travelled with South Gower, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Ian Smith, Bryan Heard and Andy Thorburn for arranging the trip. Although the result did not go our way everybody had a fantastic day.
Also i would like to thank Amanda Bates for painting Osprey masks on the children for 4 hours on the way to Twickenham and outside the ground.

Below are some pictures of the trip that captured the great atmosphere.
