CWMLLYNFELL RFC

CWM V BUILTH—11 September

A Geraint Evnas try and a Peter Thomas conversion from the last move of the game gave cwmllynfell a win at the Bryn in a very close tense contest against last years fellow div 1 side Builth Wells with the Bulls having to settle for a losing bonus point after being in control and camped in the Cwm 25 for the last ten minutes of of the match

Cwm started brightly and moved the ball around but a succsession of handing errors and infringements let the Bulls into the match and gradually Builth playing a very forward orientated game based around a heavy pack and good scrum took control - with their wing JThurston putting over two early penalites to put the visitors 0-6 in front

Both sides struggled to put any moves together and with a whistle happy ref the game soon deteriorated into a series of penalties - some 26 in the first half alone ! With centre Manning yellow carded after 25 minutes cwm hung on grimly till nearly the end of the half when Thurston added a third penalty -0-9 h/t

With the wind behind them cwm attacked at the start fo the second half and an ealry penalty by P thomas closed the gap .A Thurston drop goal for the Bulls and a second Thomas penalty made it 6-12 to the visitors and with Builth keeping it tight in the cwm half that seemed curtains for the blues .
On the 79th minute the ref awarded a penalty to cwm for a builth infrigment deep in the cwm 25 and said last play .A Sterle took it quickly and cwm broke up field to set sub Geraint Evans free on the halfway line .Outpacing a frantic defence Evans went over under the posts to the dleight of the cwm faithfull - Thomas stepped and cooly took the conversion - 2 pts for Thomas - 4 for Cwm and a strong Builth side were left dispondant
On this perfomrance Builth will be a force however as the season unfolds

FINAL SCORE: Cwmllynfell 13 Builth 12
