Llanybydder bounce back

LLANYBYDDER travelled to the Quins’ Bierspool ground on Saturday (Sept 29) looking to regroup after the previous weekend’s defeat at Neyland and came away with a 48-24 win.

The home side have had a difficult start to the season, having lost a number of players to other clubs, but they showed great effort and commitment throughout the match, trying to play at a high tempo.

However the visitors had a bit more organization, and took an early lead when fly-half Llyr Tobias spotted a gap in midfield to cross for the first try.

It was an eventful first half for visiting full-back Dan Garside, after an early yellow card for a high tackle.

Garside returned to the pitch to run in two long range tries as he supported his back-line. There was further try for centre Steff Richards as he re-gathered his chip over the on-rushing home defence. Richards converted all 4 tries.

The Quins replied with a try for full-back Rhys Bradney and lock Josh White, both converted by Bradney to give a half-time score of 28-14 to the visitors.

There were two more conversions from Steff Richards to give him a personal tally of 23 points, as the visitors won by 48-24, with both teams claiming a bonus point.
