Old rivals put us to the sword - Loughor U14's 45-5 Gowerton U14's 11/12/16

Following Llandeilo cancelling our game late in the week we managed to get a game against Loughor at very short notice and perhaps some wished that we hadn't!  We don't think anybody expected the game to turn out as it did.  Early play was fairly even with both teams making breaks but failing to convert their chances into points.  Sadly our injury worries continued with Alex Graham-Wollard going off with suspected concussion after only 5 minutes.  It was Loughor who kicked off the scoring after 12 minutes with some strong running and questionable tackling.  The try was converted.  Four minutes later it was 12-0 when the Loughor backs moved the ball around and eventually crashed over in the corner.  Loughor looked far stronger and up for the game and this was evident when they scored their third try of the half on 19 minutes which was also converted.  Following this we started to play some better rugby but failed to cross the whitewash before half time and Loughor led 19-0.  We started well in the second half and Troy Davies made one of his trademark runs, breaking several tackles and run unopposed up the left wing and under the posts.  The conversion was missed.  Our success was soon short lived as Loughor replied with their own try after 6 minutes which was converted to make it 26-5.  Further injuries saw Brandon Jones and Theo Evans both leave the game early.  Possession was difficult as Loughor kept the ball well and we seemed to kick too often.  Loughor's tails were up and ran in two further tries after 11 and 18 minutes, one unconverted to take the score to 38-5.  A second 50 point defeat of the season was looming and the boys tried to stem the flow.  Sadly on 24 minutes Loughor scored their 7th try of the match which was converted to make it 45-5.  The final few minutes of the game was a stalemate of territory and possession and the referee blew to put us out of our misery. Not the performance needed just before Christmas and hopefully a better result next Sunday before a few much needed weeks off to recover and reflect on the past few weeks.
