Pontypridd Youth (1) 24 - 3 St Peters

TRY Scorers for Pontypridd: Dan Deardon, Rhys Simms & Geraint Rowley. Rhys Simms kicked 3 Conversions and a penalty.

St Peters came out at the start of the game with all guns blazing, putting Ponty under tremendous pressure. But with Ponty’s defence standing firm Ponty started to show their form. The pack started to dominate up front with good scrummaging from Mark Jones, Sam Oliver and Dale Pugh. The second row duo of Owen Kingsbury and Geraint Rowley had their work cut out with St Peters big lineout specialist, but kept to their task well.

The Marauding back row of Alyn Thomas, Dean Maisey and Dafydd Gristock pounced on any loose ball and were always on hand supporting the ball carrier. Ponty dominance began to tell with Ponty going through the moves and centre Dan Deardon’s strength to power over the line. Converted by Rhys Simms. Good defence by Lewis Egal winger Nathan Evans and new wing Casey on permit from Pontypridd Youth (2) kept out attack after attack, making probing runs themselves. Halfbacks Sam Studley and Lewis Smith as usual put in leadership performances orchestrating Ponty’s attack.

After the break Ponty made a change at Hooker, Ross Griffiths Replacing Oliver, who had a great first half. Ross really made an impact taking numerous balls against the head in the scrum. Another scintillating run by Simms saw him go over once again for Ponty’s 2^nd try that he converted himself. Another substitution for Ponty was Mike Davies, who replaced Evans on the wing. Davies, almost immediately ripped  the ball from his opposite number to be brought down short of the try line.

In the dying moments of the game tireless work by Ponty’s pack saw Rowley come up with the ball and drive over for Ponty’s final try, converted by Simms. This was another great all round team performance from a team who are gaining in confidence every game. Once again very difficult to single out one player but special mention must be made of Sam Studley and the marauding back row of Dean Macy, Dafydd Gristock and Alyn Thomas.
