Tondu v Glynneath


 

Glynneath took an early lead when a tremendous driving maul walked the home pack back thirty metres before prop Gareth Hall got the touchdown.An excellent touch line conversion into the wind by Jack O’Reilly added the extra points.The home side drew level when from a charge down kick,Steff Jones picked up to go over for a try ,converted by Josh Tatchel.Glynneath then went through a period of play where they missed four chances ,where it was easier to score but the tries went begging.Driving to the line ,when held up the ball was whipped out quickly but the referee called play back after Glynneath thought they’d scored their second try of the game .Another superb bit of rugby saw inter passing by the visitors but the ball was dropped on the line!!Another side stepping run by wing Aled Evans just failed to produce a try they deserved.Another break by Greg Roberts carried on by Craig Tennant saw another try go begging and it looked as if Tondu would score from the counterattack when Mathew Murphy ran out of defence and only a fantastic cover tackle by Calum McPhee saved a certain try.As good as Glynneath were in the first half they went to pieces in the second as they leaked a further three tries ,and mistakes crept into their game.Tondu scored against the run of play when Mathew Murphy outstripped the visitors defence for a great try .Josh Tatchel converting.From there on Tondu took control and they crossed for their third try Stuart Young going over .Tatchel added the extras.When Tondu suffered a yellow card Craig Tennant crashed over for a try to give the visitors a glimmer of hope ,Jack O’Reilly converted .David Griggs went over for Tondu’s bonus point try and with Josh Tatchel keeping up his 100% conversion rate to round off an unexpected but well deserved victory for the home side Full Time Tondu 28 Glynneath 14
