Felinfoel 0
South Gower 3
Tries Scored : Tom Jenkins (2), Tom Mogridge.
Again this week we had a great turnout with 13 players. We played 9 a-side as Felinfoel only had 9. We started well with some good passing and running. Tom Jenkins received the ball wide and used his pace to accelerate away to the corner to score his, and South Gowers' first try of the match.

Felinfoel restarted but some excellent tackling from Gower, namely George Grammenos and captain George Heard ensured we turned over the ball. Again the ball was passed wide to our flyer Tom Jenkins who sped over for another good try.

Again, Felinfoel restarted and again the Gower tackles were flying in disrupting their play. We gained a turnover and took the ball in to contact. From the resulting maul, Tom Mogridge peeled off the back unchallenged and raced clear for a try just before half time.
We made substitutions at half time to ensure everybody played. Connor Holt made his debut for the All Blacks and made an immediate impact. He tackled everything that moved ensuring we kept Felinfoel on the backfoot. The 2nd half remained scoreless although we came extremely close on a few occasions.

What was most impressive about our play in this game, but especially the 2nd half was our passing. We have been working on our passing a lot and it really paid of here. There was one occasion when we passed the ball through every set of hands down the line, cut back inside and one of the players even had the cheek to pull off an inside pass to Cameron. I sat back an admired with only thoughts of Fijian rugby coming to mind...Awesome.
This was by far our finest performance of the season, tackling and passing was spot on. Well done everyone. We look forward to our game away to Gowerton on Sunday.
