Ospreys Cup

I have just had confirmation that Cwmtwrch have been kicked out of the Osprey Cup .
We had an inkling this was going to happen , but we decided not to tell the boys and fair play to the complete team they took them on thinking it was a cup game and gave one of the best performances of the season.
What it means is that there are only 3 teams left in our group and as it stands at the moment we have won 1 , Briton Ferry have won 1 and Pontardawe have not won 1 . If we beat Pontardawe then we come 1st in the group as Briton Ferry have finished all their games , if we lose against Pontardawe then we will all be on 1 win ( 3 points ) and it will all be decided by rules as below , and if you can work it out ???????? ???????
If pool positions are equal after all games played. The positions will be decided by the result of the game between the clubs involved. Away team will be regarded as winner - points will not be deducted at this stage, only the positions in pool will change, and adjusted accordingly .
We are definately thro to one of the semi-finals , just up to us which one .

Cwmtwrch 7 Mumbles 41 Osprey Cup

What a fantastic team performance today . We finally all arrived at Cwmwrch just before the kick off , but even though we new we were taking on a HUGE pack we took them on from the start . Our make shift pack stood their ground and did not take a step backwards , and pretty soon we were 19-0 up . They did not know what hit them and after 15 mins we new their big pack were struggling to keep up with us. Darrel took one against the head and then managed to finish off a great move to score a try . Even when we were down to 14 their pack still could not get the better of our 7 man pack and again we broke away to score 2 more tries . Half time 0 - 31 . Second half and with us playing up the slope their pack managed to stumble over for a try
That was the only chance they got and we pulled away to score 2 more tries . Final score 7-41 .
Try scorers : Andrew Claypole 4 , Will Thomas 2 and Darrel Evans 1 . Will converted 3

Mumbles 19 Briton Ferry 17

Well done to everyone for the tremendous performance you all put in yesterday . To give away a try in the first few minutes is a bit of a downer , but we did not let it get to us and came back with a very clever try . They scored again but we managed to stay in the game with another try on half time . I think Richie"s team talk at half time surprised a few players and you all reacted well . They scored another try and yet again we kept up with them and Ollie Redfern crossed for his third try . The last 2 minutes seemed like 2 hours , but our second half defence was superb . Their players complained about the ref after the game , and he told them that their indiscipline cost them the game . Well done to you all for keeping your discipline it wasn"t easy .
