Young Firm Just Edged Out

Mount started the game strongly and after 10 minutes of sustained pressure, scored a well worked try which was well converted from wide out. From the kick off Gilfach gained possession in the Mount 22 and went over for a converted try from a rolling maul by their bigger forwards. Mount again regained the ascendancy with the better rugby and scored another converted well worked try with interplay between forwards and backs. As with the first try Mount again lost possession from the kick off and Gilfach scored near the posts from a series of drives from their forwards.

Half time: 14 - 14.

The 2nd half started as a theme to the first with Mount playing the better 15 man rugby and again taking the lead again with a converted try and then coffing up possession in their own 22 allowing Gilfach to draw level again on their narrow pitch. Midway through the 2nd half, Gilfach had some sustained pressure and went ahead for the first time with a converted try to lead 28 - 21. Mount then went on the attack and from their own half the forwards made some good ground into the Gilfach half and quick ball to the backs saw them going over for a try that was again well converted to tie the scores again. With 5 minutes left a good bit of skill from Gilfach saw a chip regathered and led to a converted try to lead 35 - 28.

As much as Mount tried and sustained pressure, it did not lead to a try they and were very unlucky not to get at least a draw from an entertaining game.

Mount Try Scorers: Daffydd Walters, Tommy Hunt, Lawson Herneman and Ethan Jones.

Conversions: Jaydan Pugh 4.
