Brynamwr Vs Rhymney

Brynmawr 27 Rhymney 5

Brynmawr carried on their fine start to the season with a well deserved victory over local rivals Rhymney. The early exchanges were even but brynmawr started to gain the upper hand up front with Dean Jones, Gareth Coles and Mathew Shaw all putting in excellent performances. Alec Teere and skipper Damian Hudd were also starting to control the opposition and home lineouts allowing Steve Evans (No. 8) and Richard Addiss (No. 9) to dictate the play.

Brynmawr Scored the first ponts through Mathew Penny, who crashed over from a well worked blinside move, that was clearly a product of the hard work put in on the training paddock. Soon after outside half Bow extended the lead with a well struck penalty. Rhymney then got themselves back in the game with a try just before half time, Brynmawr will be dissapointed that there was not more light between the two sides at the interval.

It got worse for Brynmawr after the break whenthey lost Richard Addis after being sin binned which seemed a little harsh. But after weathering a minor storm skipper Hudd rallied the team and the response was immediate. Nobatano recieved the ball out wide and had far too much gas for the Rhymney wing who could only watch the former sprint 60 meters with Bow converting. Then Bow further extended the lead with a long range penalty before Steve Evans sealed the victory with a injury time try making it two in two for the Brynamawr back row man.

The coaches are pleased with the way that the players have responded this season both in traing and the two victories however they know that it would be foolish to rest on there laurels and there is much hard work to be done if the team are to be challenging at the end of the season.

Nect up for Brynmawr is Nelson away, which will be another tough test for the Blaenau Gwent side.
