Fixture

Always a very physical challenge going to Ystrad Rhondda and we needed to be at our best to come away with anything. As usual we were in for a game with lots of big hits from both sides going in and a great battle in the forwards but it was the Ath to strike first with some fantastic work by our forwards then releasing our back line. The game was to be played in 3 x 20 minute periods to give everyone game time and the first 2 periods it was evenly matched with Ystrad scoring a couple of try's also. With our set piece looking good and every player giving 100% we were in for a cracker. After scoring a few more tries and fatigue setting in the gaps started to open letting our style of play throwing the ball around pay off and racking the points up. This however wasn't reflective of the game and we had to work for everything and credit to a very good and well coached Ystrad team they battled until the end.

Brilliant welcome as always .
