Full marks to Burry Port for contributing to a fast and open game , and a very big thanks to Andrew Thomas for again taking the time to ref for us and letting the game flow .

Mumbles 31 Pontardulais 17 Ospreys Shield semi-final

We knew we were in for a hard time with Pontardulais after last year"s disastrous meeting . We did not make the best start with players turning up just before the kick-off , we cannot let this happen again . We scored 2 good tries but then let Pontardulais back in to the game against the run of play . There were a lot of things going on off the ball , and luckily we had a very strict ref . We made hard work of putting the game beyond Pont and most of their scores came off our mistakes , penalties , and dropped balls . It was still close thro the second half until we made the mistake of falling for Ponts tactics and got a player sent of for a dangerous tackle . All hell broke loose and luckily for the rest of the boys they kept their temper and did not retaliate. they ended up having 2 sent off and we managed to pull away from them . I apologised to the ref and the Pont coach Darrell for the bad tackle and told him the club would deal with it and take action .
We are waiting to find out when and where the final will be , it is against Pelenna and should be played on Sunday May 3rd , but we are on tour so waiting for an alternative date and venue.
