Newport H.S.O.B. 8 - Risca R.F.C. 26

Match report by Mike Allen.

Risca brought in 19 year old Liam Thomas at No 10 to make his 1st team debut, Erwin Tejam, Ben Farley and Rhys Morgan also returned to the back division.

It was 20 minutes on the clock before Risca's scrum started to work, Rhys Morgan got away a good ball to Liam Thomas who got a half break to put Rhys James in the hole for an excellent try, converted by Biddiscombe.

Within 5 minutes Thomas punished the old-Boys with a great kick out of hands to make a good 45 metres up the line, from the line-out Tejam made an  excellent run to put James in for his 2nd try which was not converted.

Just on half time S.Martin (Old-boys full back) kicked a good penalty which brought the half-time score H.S.O.B. 3 points  Risca 12 points.

After the break Risca dominated up front with the scrum and line-out working well. It was just 17 minutes into the half with Gareth Smith and Mathew Williams strong running and with excellent support from Callum Anderson, Thomas broke through with Smith on his shoulder who put Rhys James in for his hat trick try, Biddy converted the extra's.

The final score was started by Rhys Morgan, and scored by Morgan, Morgan retrieved a Old-boys kick through on Risca's 22 metre line to put in a 50 metre kick into the Old-boys 22 metre line, Risca lost possession at the line-out but Anderson made a drive through to whip possession back to Risca, who put in a good pass back to Morgan who run-in for a great try converted by Biddy.

Some excellent performances by Thomas, Smith, Williams and of course hat-trick hero Rhys James, but another super performance by Gareth Smith made him MAN OF THE MATCH.
