Young Saints Bounce Back At Home

The Young Saints put in a strong performance in their first home game of the season against Cwmbran RFC in an encounter overshadowed by a worrying injury to inspirational captain, Joseph Lee. The game had to be abandoned close to the final whistle as Lee, who had a typically barnstorming display which included a length of the field try, suffered an injury to his neck while trying to tackle a Cwmbran player who wouldn't look out of place in a men's game. Praise and thanks must be given to the Cwmbran coach and first aider, who were the first to respond and secure Joseph, waiting with him for over two hours until the ambulance arrived. Thankfully, the injury was not serious and our captain was back on the field a few weeks later.

Credit must also go to Soloman Gabica and Thomas Morgan, who both volunteered to play for Cwmbran for the first halff so that the teams could play 15 a side, and then came back to our side and put in good displays. Da iawn boys! Great sportsmanship.

In the first half the Saints played with good attacking structure, taking the ball into contact, recycling quickly before moving it wide. It proved fruitful too, with tries from Nyle Thomas-Keyse, Tay Smith and Ethan Griffiths all coming from the wide channels. Our lock, Blaide Howell, was Blaide by name and nature, carving the opposition defence open with some strong and quite frankly terrifying runs which resulted in him getting on the score sheet for two tries.

In the second half, Cwmbran rallied with good play from their talented outside half and some good strong carried from their pack, but it was a comfortable win for the home side playing their first game on the full size senior pitch.
