Sports 17 Cwmgwrach 12
Cwmgwrach came to the Bandstand field undefeated and having maximum bonus points from their first three games. They elected to play with the strong wind and from the outset put their eight-man game into play. With a much bigger pack, there was lots of tight forward moves from the visitors. But once again the Sports were up to the task with the front row of Griffiths, Wallis and Brewer laying their bodies on the line time and time again.
Cwmgwrach missed an early penalty but were not using the wind advantage well at all and it was the Sports who were putting on the pressure through the back row combo of Punter, Channel and coach Dowling. When the visitors managed to force a five metre scrum, they were truly focused on a drive and forced the Sports to concede a penalty try that Wayne Phillips converted.

Swalec Cup - Dowlais 13 Bridgend Sports 25
The early pressure in this Swalec Cup game came from a strong looking Dowlais side who had the larger pack and a very lively threequarter line. Ryan Morgan was looking dangerous on the left wing and one of his runs forced his opposite number to handle in the ruck and was promptly ‘yellow carded’ for the offence.
More Dowlais pressure followed and their outside half David Bow missed an easy penalty which allowed the Sports to relieve their line with a clearance kick by Boobyer.
The ball went deep into the home defence and Richard Byrne followed up with nothing really ‘on’ and surprised the home supporters when the ball popped up into his hands and he took a lucky try rounding the defence and scoring under the posts, somewhat against the run of play. Jayce Evans converting.
