If the previous Saturday was very warm, today is a scorcher at 27c. Not ideal for playing rugby. Great action from the start, with a home try after just 40 seconds. An early candidate for the quickest of the season. Skilful handling finished off by right wing Charlie Locke. This was converted by out half Rhyddian Morris for 7-0. After a forwards touchdown from G.G some smooth handling from Cowbridge backs was completed with an Adam Dix 5 pointer again converted by Rhyddian. G.G back row we’re finding it difficult coping with the speed and tricks of captain Dix. This was highlighted by a yellow card shown in the 39th minute to his opposite number for persistent offside. Just as the week before tighthead George Thomas at the forefront of all Cowbridge forward drives. Half time 20-12 in favour of Cowbridge. On the restart a Bridge forwards charge was finished off by hooker Rhys Davies whose size was welcomed in the middle of the front row. Jack Forsyth was again having a great game at lock, as was his S. Row partner Owen John. The home backs were now running almost all ball they got, and Evan Thomas at centre and Iona Williams coming into the line at speed we’re creating havoc. Tries were now being run in at regular intervals. G.G never threw in the towel but the speed and fitness of the Bridge allowed for a score line of Cowbridge 65 Gilfach 12. Glamorgan Star MOM George Thomas, only just in front of Evan Thomas and Rhyddian Morris. Once again We’ll done boys “ Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success”. RPK.
