Match Report
Aber Valley U12
In a very competitive U12 Grand Final, Bridgend Blue Bulls took the trophy 10-8 against Aber Valley Wolves with just a conversion between the sides.
Whilst Bridgend were unfortunate not to get an early try, it was the Wolves who got the first score of the game. A great run from Kai Sengul put them 4-0 up on seven minutes.
Man of the match Ollie Edwards quickly levelled with a try from close range then got his and Bridgend’s second to put them in front. Luke Ingram converted the second of them to make it 10-4 at half-time.
The heavens well and truly opened making ball-handling difficult and causing it to be slippery underfoot on Pontypridd’s excellent 4G surface. But that didn’t stop Iestyn Thomas from keeping his feet and running 50 metres to score just left of the sticks for Aber Valley. Crucially again it was unconverted.
Wolves kept attacking but Bridgend’s outstanding defence kept them out when they were camped on their line for a whole set.
Even after Wolves were awarded a penalty 25 metres from the Bulls line for tackling without the ball, they still couldn’t get over the line and Bridgend held on.
(NB - The match was played 20 minutes each way).
