South Gower V Swansea Uplands, always a mouth watering prospect, playing against one of our neighbouring clubs. Uplands undefeated last season, Gower Cup wiiners for two successive seasons and haven't conceded a try this season to date.
On kick off, the visitors certainly piled on the pressure, camped in the South Gower 22 with great ball retention, South Gowers focus to mark the man and make the tackles count certainly paid off with valient efforts from Max Adams & Dan Barker.
Gower made it back with some great attacking play by Elliot Owen and Sam Jones but with one South Gower disallowed try to Uplands two, The All Blacks were down 14 nil at half time.
The restart produced more gutsy rugby, backed up by good ball handling by both teams, but South Gower's Chay Smith had the early second half glory, to deliver a Gower 5 pointer and spoiling Uplands clean sheet. The Uplands forwards were powerful with ball in hand, that Gower couldn't keep out, with Uplands scoring a further 3 tries, ending the game 5, 31 to Uplands. South Gower man of the match was Jack Rosser who played admirably with good running lines and committed tackles.
Not the result we wanted, but good building work for the forthcoming Opsreys Cup. South Gower RFC V Birchgrove at home, 14th October.
