Sunday"s game against South Gower

We decided to call our game off against South Gower as they were expecting to bring only 12 or 13 players . We could only get 13 players , and the weather forecast for Sunday is not very good . A lot of the boys are going to watch the Swans v Cardiff Football game so we have called it off .

Mumbles 14 Burry Port 19

It was an early start for everyone , but when we arrived it was nice to see that the pitch was in good condition . Burry Port fielded their full team ( including their Scarlets ) But we were not allowed to play our Ospreys . Still it was a good chance for our squad to show it"s strength . We played against a very strong wind 1st half and deservedly took the lead with a good try from Ben Leek under the posts ( surprised to find out that it was Ben"s 1st try this season ) Tom Greenwood stepped up to get the conversion . We seemed comfortable but kicked out of defence straight to Luke Treharn , who went over out wide . We got back into the game and scored another good try by Tom Bennett and again Tom Greenwood converted from in front of the posts. We had another 2 attacks , 1 when Elmo went outside a few players only to be ankle tapped with a straight run in and then when Charlie stormed forward .
We thought that turning around 14-5 up and with the wind behind us that we were home and dry , but we seemed to play most of the 2nd half in our own half and run ball from some silly positions instead of kicking . Fair play to Burry Port they worked well as a team and came storming back to score 2 tries and conversions to win 19-14 . We need to stop the bickering when we start to go behind as even the parents were coming up to me after the game and mentioning it . We go onto the field as a team and come off as a team

MUMBLES 43 FELINFOEL 5

Everyone was surprised that the game was on , but the pitch was surprisingly good ( nice to see the council airate the pitch ) Thanks to Felinfoel for coming down even though they only had 14 players . We played some nice rugby and scored some good tries ( even the 2 scored by the poacher , Darrell ) The game was played in good spirit and a big thanks to Mr . Andrew Thomas for stepping in at the last moment to ref for us . He certainly kept the game going in some awkward windy conditions .
Not sure when training is this week , will keep you updated

ABERAVON QUINS 23 MUMBLES 13

Well what can you say , apart from the ref it was a hard fought game. I have told Aberavon that next time we play them there is no way that we will let todays ref take charge .
Apart from the 2nd half penalty count of 32 -1 against us , I don"t think that he did the Aberavon team any favours .
Well done today boys , you did not let your heads go down and fought to the end. A lot of character came through and we all would have learnt form today"s game .
Keep up the hard work , we are getting stonger as a team .
Do not know when training will be this week , so I will keep you up to date.
