The second away fixture to Pontardulais RFC this season. At the last run out we felt robbed of a win, even though the Gower All Blacks had a solid performance. This time out we were all the wiser and new we had to play to the whistle but make sure the score line reflected the team efforts.
Gower started off slow but grew in confidence as the Gower forwards increased their intensity at the breakdown allowing quick ball for the backs.The first try of the game came from a Gower set piece where outside half Chay Smith pop passed to inside centre Eliot Clement who cut the angle and skinned the defence for a try under the posts, the extras added by Jamie Thomas. Gower kept the pressure on causing Pontardulais to spill the ball under pressure,a quick turn over and ball out wide to winger Jack Hooper-Lewis gave him a 50m run down the touch line for another try.
Pontardulais made a clean break of their own getting themselves on the score sheet.
The remainder of the game was very similar with South Gower dominating but the referee was restrictive in allowing the game to flow preventing the All Blacks pressure adding any further points to the score board.
Not a great viewing spectacle, some hints of quality rugby but not sustained through the whole game through no fault of their own. Well done boys.
Final Score: Pontardulais RFC 5, South Gower RFC 12
South Gower Man of The Match: Micah Pugh, for his relentless quest to wipe out and win the ball at the breakdown.
