Under 11's V Gowerton 28/02/10

28th February 2010

South Gower 28 - Gowerton 0


Tries: George Heard, Callum Carson, Kieran Charles, Luke Davies.

Conversions: Kieran Charles (4)

After having only 12 players turn up for the last 4 weeks we had 19 today and Gowerton would only play 10 aside which left everyone only having half a game.
We played 3 thirds and we started well putting pressure on Gowerton. We registered our first try of the game after some goood mauling from our forwards. We worked the ball to the back of the maul and George Heard made the break to score the try. Kieran stepped up to convert.
Today was Kierans first proper game against his old club and the Gowerton team were superb in their tackling of him. Kieran noticed this and did well to release his backs outside him every time which inturn allowed Callum to weave his way through some loose tackling to score our second try. Kieran converted.
Next up, we had a scrum on Gowertons' 22m line and Kieran went blind and smashed his was through some tackles to dive for the line and score our third try. He picked himself up and converted. The last try of the game was well worked as Kieran did a dummy scissors with Cal, drew his man and released Luke Davies to sprint free into the corner. Again, Kieran converted.

Final score:

South Gower 28 - Gowerton 0

For the first time in a while today, our forwards were being out rucked. Gowertons rucking game was good and we could never guarantee our own ball. When we did have it though, our back did well scoring several tries. With 19 players and a complete change of team, momentum was always going to be hard to maintain and we took our foot of the gas a couple of times. We need to be more clinical and our forwards need to up their tight game as other teams around us are improving quickly.

Thanks to all who turned up. It is nice to be in a position where we have some many players as the change to 15 aside next season is soon and we need the numbers every week what we had today.

Players to mention:


Kieran Charles: Big game for him today and he came out of it with a well taken try. His hands were good and his tackling was spot on. Well done Charlo.

George Heard: George did well around the field and took his try very well. A good all round game from George.

Paul Jones: Massive presence in the pack, showed again today in the first half as he drove his pack forwards.

Dylan John: Dylan had his best game for a while today. Its as if he needs to be told how big he actually his for him to use his size. He did today and had a good game.
