First game in Division 1.

Risca failed to get their 1st Division East Campaign off to a winning start. It was all Rhiwbina from the start, and after only eight minutes the visitors forced Risca into conceding a penalty which was kicked by right wing Brett Chatwin.

 

Rhiwbina continued to dominate possession but Risca's outstanding defence kept their line in tacked with some outstanding tackling by new comer Rhys James, and Gareth Evans with Neil Lewis putting their bodies on the line.

Rhiwbina continued to dictate the game with two further penalties on twenty minutes and thirty-six minutes and a penalty try after Risca conceded two consecutive scrum offences, which made the half-time score Risca nil Rhiwbina 16 points.

Risca opened the second half by making one change Dan Webb was replaced by Ryan Anderson and just into the play saw Neil Lewis make an excellent break for Rhys Meredith to force his way in under the posts. Owain Biddiscombe converted.

Mike Hutchings and Louis Tovey drove through to gain some valuable ground and just on fifteen minutes into the second half Biddy took a penalty.

It was all Risca now with some good possession and with the Ref handing out some yellow cards, Rhiwbina had two in the bin and Risca had one.

With ten minutes left on the clock Risca scored another superb try with Rhys Meredith and Neil Lewis getting through some excellent work to create a well taken try by Daniel Mock on his debut, Biddy failed with the conversion.

Risca continued to dominate but Rhiwbina held on to get the win.
