Mumbles U16 Rugby Team 2008/09

Mumbles 34 Pelenna 21

2009-05-11T03:32:00.000-07:00

Well done to all 21 boys for playing your part in winning The Junior Osprey Shield for the 2nd year in a row . We got off to a great start and were 20 points up with 2 Andrew Claypole tries and 2 conversions and 2 penalties by Will Thomas . Pelenna came back and their forwards brought them back into the game with 2 tries . At the beginning of the second half Pelenna pulled in front 21-20 . Game on and we had to dig deep . Andrew Claypole crossed for his 3rd try which was again converted by Will Thomas , and Ben Leek crossed in the corner and again Will converted to make it 34-21. It was great to see that all the players got on to the pitch . Well done to you all . As soon as I get some photos I will put them onto the site .
This was our last ever game together as a team and on behalf of the coaches and myself I thank you all for the time and commitment you have all put in over all the years together.
We will be organising a presentation evening after the exams are finished and I will notify everyone when we set the date.

Mumbles 31 Pontardulais 17 Ospreys Shield semi-final

2009-04-14T08:54:00.000-07:00

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.

Mumbles v Pontardulais Sunday April 12th Ospreys Shield Semi-final

We will be having a training session this week ( most probably during the day ) as all the boys are off school . I will let you all know what day and at what time ASAP .

U16s tour to Newquay

2009-03-24T09:34:00.000-07:00

The balance of the tour money is now overdue . Please could everyone coming on tour please send me cash or a cheque for £95 per person ( for all who have paid their deposits ) and £120 for everyone else made payable to :

There is no training this Wed 25th March as a lot of the boys are playing in School semi-finals , and if they get thro then the finals are down St Helens next Monday night . So as soon as I know who are thro , then I will decide if there will be a game this Sunday .

Cheers
Les

Mumbles 0 Pontardawe 42

2009-03-15T13:20:00.000-07:00

Our final Osprey Cup group game and there is not much to say , as all the boys know that they did not turn up on the day . The result means that we are out of the Cup and Plate and in the semi-final of the Shield ( which we won last year ) . I don"t think that there wil be training this week , and will keep you all up to date on next weeks game ( should be home to Pontardulais )

2009-03-01T14:02:00.000-08:00

Great win today boys , we went out with the right attitude and got a great win . It was great to speak to the Bonymaen coaches after the game and for them to say the best team won on the day .

U16s tour to Newquay

2009-02-26T12:11:00.000-08:00

The boys have asked about a tour of Newquay for the weekend of May 1st until May 3rd . I have received a few ideas ( with the help of Jack ) and would like to present them to everyone at The Rugby Club after Sunday"s game against Bonymaen . We need to see how many are interested , as I have to get back to the Tour Operator on Monday .

Ospreys Cup

2009-01-27T10:42:00.000-08:00

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

2009-01-25T08:25:00.000-08:00

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

2009-01-12T10:47:00.001-08:00

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 .

Osprey Cup Game

2009-01-09T06:25:00.000-08:00

Sunday"s game against South Gower

2008-11-28T10:32:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-23T12:16:00.000-08:00

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

Burry Port away Sunday 23/11/08

2008-11-11T14:14:00.000-08:00

We are AWAY to Pontardulais this Sunday 16/11/08 .We are playing at Pontardulais Comp School Kick Off 11.00 . They have confirmed that they have organised a neutral ref , he is from Bishopston and is head of P.E. at Gorseinon College .
I will not be there on Sunday ( away on a reconnaissance ), so you will have to check with Richie or Dave on Sunday morning to make sure the game is on .
At the moment there is no training this week , as the park is very wet and there is a problem with the lights .

MUMBLES 43 FELINFOEL 5

2008-11-09T09:33:00.000-08:00

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

SUNDAY 09/11/08 FELINFOEL HOME

2008-11-04T12:20:00.000-08:00

No training this week

ABERAVON QUINS 23 MUMBLES 13

2008-11-02T11:51:00.000-08:00

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.

Aberavon Quins AWAY 02/11/08

2008-10-31T09:27:00.001-07:00

Have just managed to arrange a game against Aberavon Quins AWAY. k.o.11.00
They were supposed to play Nantyfyllon in the Ospreys Cup , but they called it off .
Please can all players be at Aberavon by 10:20 .

NO GAME Sunday 02/11/08

2008-10-30T12:33:00.000-07:00

Yet again no game Sunday as Waunarlwydd are playing their Osprey Cup game .
Have tried teams that are not involved ( Taibach , Gowerton , Tondu , , Pontardulais ) but they either have a fixture or cannot raise a team to play us !!!!!!
Have even tried outside the Osprey Region , Tycroes , Llanharan , Bedwas , Ystrad Rhondda , , but some teams would rather have the day off ?????.
A big thanks to all that turned up for training last night , you certainly did well . Sorry about the showers , We have informed Robin Bonham and he will get the water situation sorted out for us . It would be a good idea that everyone brings a change of clothing with them in future , as we are now getting into Autumn and Winter and the Park is going to be very wet.

Ollie Rix - Captain of Boys Club of Wales

2008-10-22T14:36:00.000-07:00

Congratulatons to Ollie Rix for being picked as Captain for the Boys Club of Wales for last weekends game against Gloucester .
Well done from everyone at the Club .

Sunday"s game 26/10/08

2008-10-22T14:34:00.000-07:00

Surprise , Surprise , Morriston have cancelled this Sunday"s game . I had heard that they were going to call it off , so I rang them and they say that they have a few injuries and did not play last week either . I have re-arranged the away game for 21/12/08 ( they will get some mince pies ready for us ) I am trying to get an alternative fixture but if not then we will have a training session down the Park .
It seems word is getting round that we are doing well and some teams do not fancy playing us
So keep checking out for e-mails about Sunday .

Mumbles 36 Aberavon Quins 14

2008-10-19T11:24:00.000-07:00

Well done everyone , good all round performance . Pity that they only turned up with 14 but they still thought that they were going to beat us .
Shows how we have come on as last year they gave us a tuning in the Osprey cup .
Training wil be on Wednesday down the Park 5pm.

Mumbles v Aberavon Quins home 19/10/08 kick off 11:00 Underhill Park

See you all at training down the Park on Wednesday at 5pm .

Mumbles 26 Gowerton 0

2008-10-12T11:47:00.000-07:00

We won but not a very good performance , from the start we seemed to over complicate moves . Our scrum struggled and the game was much closer than the score suggests . If some of Gowerton"s passing had gone to hand it would have been a lot closer .
Training will be on Wednesday this week at 5pm down the Park .

Gowerton at home this Sunday 12/10/08

2008-10-08T13:38:00.000-07:00

We are home to Gowerton this Sunday down the Park kick off 11:00am , please can all players be there by 10:15 am for a warm up .
Please keep in touch as if the Park is un-playable we might transfer the game to Gowerton RFC , which would mean a 10:00am kick off ( as they have a game booked for 11:00 am) and we want to get back to the Club before 13:00 as the Ospreys will be playing Leicester in the Heineken Cup and the game will be on the big screen down the club .
All are welcome to come and watch the game in the clubhouse .

Sunday October 5th

2008-10-01T12:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry but there will be no game this Sunday.
Dunvant are playing in The Ospreys Cup and so are all of the other Osprey region teams ( except us ) to To have played a game we would have had to travel to Bedwas or the Merthyr Valley and seeing as a few of the boys are playing School games tomorrow and 8 of our boys are playing for the Swansea District on Friday night .
The coaches have decided we will have a training session on Sunday morning at 10:00 am sharp down the Park ( it will only last about 1 hour )

Training Wednesday

2008-09-28T05:55:00.000-07:00

Hi
Sorry no game today , I spoke to Bonymaen yesterday ( Saturday ) and they knew that they had a lot of players out but they still thought that they could get a team .
This changed overnight and they rung me this morning at 09:00 to tell me that 3 players had pulled out , so they could not fulfill the fixture .
There is training this week on Wednesday at 5pm down the park .

Mumbles V Bonymaen home 28/09/08 11.00 at the Park

We are playing Bonymaen home down the Park , kick off 11.00 this Sunday 28/09/08

Mumbles 76 Loughor 0

2008-09-24T13:18:00.000-07:00

Well played boys , we made a lot of changes to start as a lot of boys were going to the Boys Club Of Wales trials after ( thanks to you all for agreeing to play at least half a game ) Ashley Long seems to have found a new lease of life as No8 , scoring 2 tries ( he is now top try scorer with 3 tries )seeing as before this season he has never scored a try ?????? well done Ash .
We made 6 changes second half and even played uncontested scrums , but we were too strong for them .
Richie told all the boys before the game that they would all get a chance to play in their preferred positions , between now and xmas and that was true on Sunday , so it gives the coaches a hard job of picking the starting team for the cup games ( after xmas )

Game cancelled 14/09/08

Vardre are unable to field a team for Sunday"s game , and seeing as some of our players are going to the Boys Club Of Wales trial Sunday afternoon , we took the decision not to arange an alternative fixture .
It seems as if there are going to be a few teams who are going to struggle to field sides this year , so we will try to arrange alternative fixtures . I wil keep you all up to date .

Mumbles 26 - Felinfoel 17

2008-09-07T13:31:00.000-07:00

Good start to the season boys , Felinfoel are the County Champions so it was a good all round performance . A big welcome to newcomers Gareth Kirk and Scott Gibson .
Even though we were 10-0 down our heads did not drop and the forwards certainly stood up to the challenge . Well done to Charlie Watkins who more than coped with their prop Samson , and a good performance by Ashley Long in his 1st game at No8 finished off with a good try .
Try scores were :
Ashley Long - 1
Gareth Kirk - 1
Andrew Claypole - 2 .
Will Thomas kicked 3 conversions

Ospreys Shield Winners 2008

2008-05-13T13:26:00.000-07:00

Hi welcome to our new site .

We have just finished a very good season by Winning The Ospreys U15s Shield , beating Waunarlwydd 20-15 . It was a great all round performance with the scores very close up to the half time , Half way through the second half we were leading 20-8 and seemed to be controlling the game but Waunarlwydd forwards came back and scored to make the score 20-15. With 10mins left we were down to 14 men after getting a forward sin-binned but managed to dig deep and hang on to the final whistle.
Scorers were :
1 try for "Elmo" Langstone
1 try for Andrew Claypole
2 conversions and 2 penalties for Will Thomas

It was a well deserved win brought on by all the hard work that the players and Coaches have put in this season .
