Waunarlwydd v Maesteg Celtic | 26 Jan 2019

Heavy rain didn't stop Waunarlywdd running in 5 unanswered trys in a guttsy second half display, picking up a bonus point win at home against Maesteg celtic.

Saturdays rain was so heavy animals could be seen congregating in twos waiting for noah and his arc, but it was Waun that acclimatised the quickest, making possesion and territory count to score first. Waun forwards created quick ball with short bursts and drives on meastegs line, but it was centre Adam Mort summoning his inner Duke of Edinburgh, to pick an unorthodox angle and crash over the line.
 
HT Waunarlywdd 7-0 Maesteg Celtic
 
Second half saw Waun put their foot on the gas with the first try coming from good support play by Rhys Cherry, receiving the ball after a good break from Alan Pope to slide home finishing from 20yds out. A second for Cherry closely followed, a line out 10yds from the line led to a driving maul which rumbled over. Waun backs not to be out done then ran home 3 trys of their own with Alan Pope, Andrew Spowart and Sam Pridgeon all getting on the score sheet. Move of the game came straight from a kick off, with Cherry powerfully returning breaking tackles in the process to give the backs a good platform to go quick hands, giving Alan Pope room to score and complete an excellent passage of play in tough conditions.
 
FT Waunarlywdd 39-0 Maesteg Celtic
 
Solid displays from Marcus Beasley, Alan Pope and captain Chris Sealey, who like a hippo looks lethargic and approachable but when provoked becomes aggressive and a danger. Man of the match goes to Rhys Cherry though, who was at the heart of a very good team performance. He carried confidently, tackled well and looked busy all game, rounding off an impressive performance with 2 trys. 
Maesteg Celtic are a better side than the scoreline reflects, proving this with some solid results this season, going forward they will surely improve.
