MERTHYR

SSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2015/16

Nov 28

L 99-0 HT 40-0

With a team decimated by withdrawals and injuries, we were on the end of a drubbing by 99-0 at Merthyr a club record defeat..

The situation required uncontested scrums and the line-up had a strange look about it.

Ender the rules, no replacements were available to us.

That hit us hard late in the game when Sam Edwards was injured and the home team ran in several more tries.

Despite the one sided score the boys who wore the colours never gave up trying, especially those whose normal environment was the Mid Glam league and those seriously out of position.

Merthyr tries: Ellis Benham 4, Andy Powell, Osian Davies 2, Rhys Downes, Ben Murphy, Tom Hiscock, Joe Page, Dan Parry, Martin Luckwell 2, Dean Gunter. Cons: Matthew Jarvis 12.
