Abercwmboi V Ferndale

After good pre-season performances against Glyncoch and the Welsh Fijians, Ferndale trotted out onto the sloping pitch in Abercwmboi to kick off their 07/08 season in Division 4 South East.

From the start, Ferndale looked solid in defence and showed plenty of promise in attack, but a few mistakes just inside our own half led to Abercwmboi kicking some fine penalties.

However, it was Ferndale who opened the try scoring, with a fine team move finished off by Rhys Williams. The try went unconverted, and the half time score was 9-5.

Both teams started the second half in the same manner. Another penalty put Abercwmboi further in front, but Brett Williams showed great strength to grab another try for Ferndale. However, more fine kicking by the Abercwmboi full back (eventually helping himself to 17 solo points) extended their lead, and a try near the end wrapped the game up for them, making the final score 22-10 to the home side.

However, with Ferndale showing lots of promise in defence and going forward, in addition to the fact that Ferndale won the try count 2-1, there is plenty to take into the next game.
