South Gower 3
Pontardullais 0
Tries Scored : Tom Mogridge, Cai Adams, Cameron Barker.
We had 13 players this week to Pontardullais' 9 so we played 9 a side. We welcomed 2 new faces, George Grammenos and Dylan John who trained with us Wednesday and played in this game.
Sporting our new kit sponsored by Lee Mogridge, we started well and there was a massive improvement in our tackling and passing. Players were running hard and getting stuck in. The game was very tight with South Gower enjoying a lot of possesison but unable to break the visitors defence down. Half time 0 -0.

We came out in the 2nd half more determined and pressuring Pontardullais from the off. We controlled the game and used our heads whereby if the opposition was close to the touchline, we would tackle them over it ensuring a turnover ball. Our pressure finally paid off after some good rucking, the ball was passed out to Tom Mogridge who darted over in the corner.
Straight from the restart, we tackled and some good rucking turned over possession. We moved closer to their line, rucking and mauling before Cai Adams raced over in the same corner to make it 2 - 0.

With the last play of the game remaining, again, we turned over possession and Cameron Barker crossed for a great try.
This was a vast improvement on last weeks game and the more games the boys play, the more their confidence and understanding of the game will develop.
Training on Wednesday to START at 6.30pm and then away to Swansea Uplands on Sunday.
