Newbridge entertained Penallta this morning on another heavy pitch. The boys started well and went into an early lead, but Penallta are a very good side and responded with a try of their own.
Newbridge were always on the attack and could have scored many, but Penallta made some very good covering tackles preventing a number of tries. The game got a bit feisty and Penallta made a number of high tackles and ended up receiving a yellow card.
Newbridge went into half time 3-1 up and looked certain to pull away, but Penallta came back at them and scored to make it 3-2. Newbridge also received a yellow card and the Penallta tails were up. However, with some ferocious tackling by Evan Maher prevented them from levelling the score. Evan, who thrives on contact, ran hard and straight and was rewarded with a try. However, in the dying moments, Joe Davies of Penallta went over the line to make the score 4-3 to Newbridge.
Tries:
Mason Thomas (2)
Elis Rees (1)
Evan Maher (1)
Man of the Match - Evan Maher
