U12's Birchgrove RFC V South Gower RFC
South Gower RFC played Birchgrove for their fourth outing of this season that had previously resulted in three defeats, to a team with a strong pack of forwards. The Gower boys were determined to turn the tables on this day however. The Gower forwards started with Dylan Morgan, Micah Pugh putting in the early pressure, living in Birchroves faces which allowed the Gower backs to reveal their ball handling skills, playing with width that sent outside centre Chay Smith over three times in the first first half along with winger Kieran Shreves who scored via his blistering pace trimming his way along the touch line. Similarly well positioned full back Jack Hooper-Lewis crossed the white wash. 5 well orchestrated tries in 25 minutes was an awesome start and a great spectacle.
The second half Birchgrove new they had to tighten up at front and retain possession. The change in tactics, stretched South Gower and at times frustrated them by not having any valuable possession to work with. Slowly but surely though, The Gower All Blacks turned the screws, flankers Eliot Clement and Rob Mogridge worked hard to steel turnover ball with Rob Mogridge claiming his 5 pointer followed by Chay Smith claiming a well read intercepted ball crossing for his fourth try of the game. Jacob Clement at outside half who directed and released the backs for many a move with his safe hands and awareness of space on the field also crossed to put the game to bed to finally claim a well earned victory with a great team performance.
The team are all performing well and more importantly performing well for one another with great support play seen throughout the match.
Man of the Match: Jacob Clement for his visionary use of space and awreness that led to many talented breaks and subsequent tries.

U12's Round Up (Waunarlwydd, Dunvant, Uplands)
South Gower under 12's are still building even though the season is drawing to a close. A strong outing against Cwmavon without conceding any points. Another strong performance against Waunarllwydd RFC with 39 un answered points all bodes well with forthcoming tournaments on the horizon "The Penclawdd Invitational Gower Cup" won by Uplands RFC for the last two seasons and the District selction process tournament "Super 12's".
The Gower All Blacks have had one set back in their recent string of wins, defeat to Dunavnt. Being Easter Sunday, Gower were depleted of a full side with only 11 players available and two loan players from Dunvant. The signs were still evident of a deveoping yet talented Gower side with two first half tries by Jacob Clement and Chay Smith. The second half saw a shift in tactics by Dunvant recognising Gower were fielding a strong compliment of backs but missing the workhorses up front. Dunvant cleverly stuck the ball up their jumper and drove on through, clawing their way back in for a 19, 12 win to Dunvant.
Sunday 6th April - South Gower V Swansea Uplands. A fixture which has always been entertaining from the days of U8's. Uplands however have developed their performances of recent seasons while South Gower have only built of late. This was a game that Gower needed to bench mark their progress.
South Gower's first 10 minutes off loaded relentless pressure. Gower flankers Rob Mogridge and Eliot Clement were steeling everything. The 9, 10, 12 & 13 unit (Jamie Thomas, Jacob Clement, Sam Pritchard & Chay Smith) was also firing on all cylinders, switches, dummy runs, good support play, was well executed which eventually sent winger Jack Rosser in for the first try. Uplands, fought back well with the odd steel but Gower maintained pressure but failed to take more points due to the Uplands defence.
The second half, was played in a similar vein, plenty of Gower pressure, solid Uplands defence but no points for the score board. With 5 minutes left in the game, Gower turned up the heat. Deep in the oppositions half, the forwards were relentless with exceptional ball carrying by Seb Heinrich, Gavin Shearer and Alex Ashburner. A well earned 20m driving maul, releasing the ball for jinking runs for Gower boys opened up the gaps allowing Sam Pritchard to cross the white wash. 2 minutes left on the clock from a restart, South Gower wanted more, and off they went on a rampage, Jacob Clement saw the gaps and took his chances and weaved through to deliver another try, converted by Sam Jones to end on another clean sheet with a 17 point win.
South Gower RFC 17, Uplands RFC 0.
South Gower Man of the match: Seb Heinrich, played oustanding at number 8, putting the opposition on the back foot, creating the spaces the Gower backs needed to cross the line.
