2nds Win Again

Bridgend Sports 2nd XV 19pts Maesteg Celtic 2nds 12pts

This was a game played on a wet and heavy pitch. Despite this both sides tried to play rugby and produced a good spectacle.  The first score of the game came from and excellent move from the Sports backs. The ball reached winger Rob Spear who ran 60 yards before passing the ball inside to flanker Lewis Obard who made an excellent supporting run. Obard collected the pass and rounded things off under the posts. Darren Lewis converted.

Celtic then came back into the game with a bang. From a lineout near the Sports line a serious of pick and goes from the visitors forwards resulted in a try being scored by Keith Stone. It was well converted by fly half Rhodri Thomas making the score 7 all at halftime. 

Celtic continued pressing at the start of the second half and after a scrappy scrum in the Sports 22 Stone picked up the loose ball crashing over for his second try. This made it 12-7 to the visitors. The Sports knew they were in a battle and had to raise their game. Shortly afterward second row Chris Watts scored an excellent solo try. He sold a dummy, raced through a gap and galloped his way for 40 metres scoring under the posts with Lewis adding the two points.
The victory was sealed with an audacious counter attack.  Fullback Jack Lesser gathered a loose kick just inside his own half and threw an excellent long pass in field to Keith David, he in turn found Richie Bryne who made good ground before the ball found its way to Lloyd Roderick who finished off the move by crashing over in the corner.

This was an even well contested match with the Sports running out winners 19- 12
