Subject: The Mighty Llan.........

Points may well have taken precedence over performance on Saturday and I suppose that was the order of the day.The first twenty minutes were the most dour, boring I`ve been involved in for a LONG time.Goodness knows how frustrated and tedious it was for the superb numbers that ventured to The Park!!!!
Nonetheless, it was a case of "job done".We desperately needed to blow the cobwebs away and when we eventually bonded as backs and forwards AND adhered to our game plan we scored some super tries, simply by grinding them down through phase play.
For Llan, I was impressed with Big Al Conway at 8 and Darren "Shed" Coleman at 10 kept them going forward, but it was our buddy Mark "Killer" Perrot who was my Man of the Match.I know he had a point to prove and certainly did so, especially against such a big and mobile backrow of Lee[who also showed up well], Nicky and Big G.Killer looks to be 5 times sharper and lots fitter so well done to him.
For us, I thought Greg "Doofy" Lane was a deserved website Man of the Match.He put a lot of work in and nicked a few of there line outs against bigger boys.
Behind, Mr Reliable-Lee Bowden again sparkled, reading the game in defence but cutting some superb angles in attack which was often the start of any moves behind.
I notice that next Saturdays opponents Pontypool United are top of their respective league and are racking stacks of points up.Putting a load on Senghenydd this week is no mean feat as they themselves are pushing for promotion.It`ll be a tough test but will be a good yard stick for us to see how far we`ve come plus a good chance to fully utilise the squad we have.

Cheers for now

Dodge

Agree with your views Dodge, poor first 20 minutes on this occasion we'll put it down to "ring rustyness" however I felt that we should have spread the ball much earlier as it appeared that we were capable of ripping their back line to ribbons. Good to see the crowd turn out and offer their vocal support, just keep it up lads thats all we can ask from the sidelines. (NT) -- Red Max, 08:50:15 02/20/06 Mon
