Alright know all, how about how we played the system at Cardiff. Fearing a stuffing we gave away loads of points (90+) just to score 4 tries which at the time secured us a point! I'm sure that this finally influenced the WRU to change the points for tries rule. -- Abertillery BG RFC Discussion Forum

In reply to: Dai 's message, "The Sec is wrong as usual! ;-) We won the game when Adrian Barwood scored - was against Neath in the last 16 game and I seem to recall the score was something like 24-15 - I was scoreboard boy at the time! We lost to Llanelli in the home quarter final. Dodgers' message has reminded me of Ian Wilkinson - cracking player as was Gavin Pugh at that time. Although more of a back row, I put Ross Thomson in the second row because just having him on the pitch was an inspiration. I recall him taking over what seemed like the whole Cross Keys pack on his back over the line to score down there. Best games - Dunvant home (2nd) - Kevin Price last minute drop goal from 45 metres to win - and tops without doubt, Swansea away April 1995." on 09:46:30 01/04/06 Wed

Remember that Cardiff match well, particularly for the bemused looks on Keardiff faces when we cheered the 5th (?) try - Worzel on the blindside 'Blackwood' move I think. From memory there was a match involving Treorchy, also struggling, where they got the same points as us for grinding out a win. Or something. (NT) -- Hugh Pugh, 15:07:40 01/04/06 Wed
