Young Firm Fight Back For Draw

The Young Firm were given a proper test away to Cwmavon Youth who were a team with a reputation as a strong side. Mount started well, kept possession and had the better of the territory for the first 10 minutes, but a penalty to Cwmavon got them into the Young Firm's half where they scored after some slick backs moves. Mount continued securing plenty of possession but some handling errors stopped scoring opportunities and at half time it was 5-0 to the home team. 

The Young Firm started the 2nd half in similar fashion to the first, but once again, it was Cwmavon who scored and converted the try to lead 12-0. Losing by twelve points was new for this Mount team this season, and their heads could have dropped, but it seemed to wake them up and they started to play some attractive rugby, scoring 2 tries with good handling skills between forwards and backs, one of which was converted, to draw level with the clock running down. Cwmavon had a chance to win the game at the end with a kickable penalty but it went wide. This was a good result for the Young Firm, and once again, their tackling in defence was very impressive and a big positive.

Tries: Trystan Roberts, Kenzie Jenkins;

Conversion: Jayden Pugh.
