Tough Day in horrible conditions

The U13’s welcomed Blackwood to Newbridge Fields on Sunday morning, with a wet game looking likely before kick off... however when the game kicked off the rain had mostly subsided but the going was heavy underfoot.  The weather meant it was a game for the forwards and most of the first half was a real battle up front with good hard running and both packs trading turnovers for fun.  There was space out wide though and with good hands along the back line it was the Ath who scored the first try. The ball got along the line to Harvey Tooze, who had the pace to run down the line, outpacing the Blackwood defence before cutting inside the full back and scoring a great try under the posts with Charlie Rees converting.  It was Blackwood who finished the half stronger scoring 2 quick tries getting outside the Ath defence on both occasions and crossing the line, with 1 try converted.  Score 7-12 at half time.

Second half started as per the first with both sets of forwards enjoying the old fashioned conditions and turning the game into a real arm wrestle. It was Blackwood who got on the scoresheet first to take the score out to 7-17.  It was through the forwards that the Ath then responded with some good pick and goes, which resulted in a couple of quick penalties that put the the U13’s in the corner. From the resulting line out a well drilled planned move allowed Rhydian Greenhall to show good strength and crash over in the corner. The conversion was missed from out wide.  From the kick off Blackwood came back hard and with some added intensity and pace, after some quick recycling they scored again under the posts with the conversion kicked.  The game ended slightly prematurely with an injury to one of the Blackwood team, we wish him well with his recovery.
Final score 12-24 to Blackwood.

Next up for the U13’s is the proposed final away fixture of the season against Aberdare before 3 home games.
