St Josephs 0 V Glamorgan County RFC 41
Glamorgan County RFC once again carried on their good work for community rugby when they selected a very powerful squad to celebrate St Josephs (Cardiff) 50th anniversary.
A biting cold wind greeted a large Blackweir crowd, but it was soon warming to a red hot encounter.
St Joe's who are having an excellent season in division 5 South East had no fear for their more illustrious opponents, with their crunching tackles they kept the County at bay for the first quarter. The first County score came from Glamorgan Wanderers scrum half Garin Lucas with a fine touchline run to dive over in the corner. The second try came from the outstanding Corus PT full back Rhys Williams who came into the line at great pace to score between the posts he also converted. The third try of the half saw Penallta's brilliant centre Sean Powell sprint seventy metres for a fine individual try.
The second half saw the young talented Glamorgan side move up a gear and further tries were scored by Cardiff centre Harry Allen, Glamorgan Wanderers tight head prop Mathew Llewellyn, replacement scrum half Greg Jones Llanharan, replacement wing James Powell Penallta, while full back Rhys Williams converted two.
To be fair to St Josephs they played their part magnificently, always looking to play attractive flowing rugby and would have scored on several occasions if it had not been for quite outstanding defence from the county. St Joe's were a great credit to their coaches Colin Morgan and Mark Foley, and their back row of Ross Hunter, brothers Mathew and Mike Andrews were outstanding along side second row Mathew Enright, Dylan James scrum half, loose head and evergreen Andy ''Elvis'' Jones and captain and hooker James Walby.
For the county the whole team was superb, but special mention must go to the Cardiff back row of Sam Warburton, Nick Hanson and Dan Mcshane, the strong front row of captain Geraint George Llantwit Fardre, Garry Houligan Cardiff and Mathew Llewellyn Glamorgan Wanderers the second row of Bridgend Athletic Kyle Coulter and Pencoed Dean Henson, replacement prop and hooker Sean Donovan and David Pearson both Pencoed. Special praise must go to the outstanding Penallta centre Sean Powell.
In the after match function the Glamorgan President Chris Bevan Bridgend Athletic presented St Josephs with a cut glass engraved bowl and also presented Geraint George Llantwit Fardre and Nicky Allen Llanharan with their county caps for representing the county on twelve appearances.
