U12's South Gower v Vadre

South Gower under 12's turned up with a stride in their step following a great performance in their outing last week. A full squad to pick from and a first XV capable of stretching any side with a strong bench in tow.
It's South Gowers and Vadre's 1st meet of the season due to postponed games and therefore all to play for. South Gower kicked off and applied relentless pressure that Vadre couldn't handle, with the All Blacks delivering six consecutive un-answered tryies early on. Chay Smith crossed for three, Jacob Clement, Sam Pritchard and Dylan Morgan all gaining well deserved 5 pointers. The forwards played their part too, with the hard yards gained by Micah Pugh and Gavin Shearer. Vadre really struggled in the battle upfront and the precision passing and pace of the backs.
The second half saw a tighter affair, but no real change in dominance. South Gower continued where they left off, ready to put a lid on their challenge with winger Jack Rosser and Chay Smith finishing Vadre off with two further tries in the second half.

The Gower boys delivered a good all round performance with good support play, passing out of the contact area, strong tackling in defence and wiping out in the rucks. Well done boys, keep up the work rate, see you at training.


South Gower Man of the Match: Dylan Morgan who worked relentlessly in the rucks to secure good Gower ball, backed up with some hard running which gained him a try.
