Nelson 47 - Risca 7

Match report by Clive James

This was a game that for the travelling supporters is one to forget. But not so for the Risca playing squad who must in the next few weeks turn out in numbers at the training sessions to put right all that went wrong at Nelson.
 
Things did not start well as Gareth Evans pulled out due to family commitments and then no.8 Mike Preece was not able to take the field after pulling an hamstring during the warm up. Youth product Haycock Smith made his debut at no.6James Sully was at no.8 and Callum Redmond came in at 2nd.row after answering an SOS from team manager Eddie Edwards.
 
From the kick off the homeside immediately took control  and after five minutes had their first try. Risca responded when Biddy moved the ball quickly to Tetley, Ben Pesci ran strongly and handed onto full back Dowle,he made ground into the Nelson half before passing inside to Pesci who put a kick down field and Dowle was stopped just before the tryline. That was as good as it got for Risca as Nelson added six more tries to run out convincing winners by 48pts.-7.
 
The Youth played Bedwas at the Stores Field and finished all square at 17pts.each in an entertaining game.
