St Peters 29 Aberdare 17
Match report by Stephen Chappel
Aberdare's rich vain of form came to a crashing halt, due to a well drilled over powering St. Peters team.
The Rocks scored an immediate try to set the tone for the first half on dominating rugby. Aberdare's outside half Steven Roberts closed the gap to 5-3.
St. Peters second try came from a well worked passage of play with the hooker combining with an outside back to walk underneath the posts.
Aberdare showed some promising inter play with forwards inter linking with each other, which resulted in an offence by the opposition. Steven Roberts failed to convert the pressure in to points.
Aberdare's constant mistakes resulted in several soft tries. The Rocks number eight received an inside pass to stroll through an ever present gap and ran twenty meters unopposed under the posts. St. Peters third try came from some silky backs passing and the winger scoring in the corner.
The score at the break was 22-3.
The first half introduction of Matthew Bowen, Aberdare's answer to Matthew Rees was ever present from hooker. Putting in some quality tackles and elusive runs.
The second half started much like the first, although Aberdare's last ditch tackles and scramble defence stood up well.
After 10 minutes the Aberdare pack that has dominated throughout the season came to life and were on top for the remainder of the game.
This time pressure was turned into points and this saw Jon Williams crash over from short range with Steven Roberts converting to make it 22-10. Again Aberdare were pressurising the Rocks 22meters when a fumble resulted in The Rocks thirteen race away for a try which was converted to make it 28-10.
The introduction of Geraint Jones at scrumhalf seemed to increase the tempo and intensity. After a period of increasing pressure from Aberdare. The final try of the match came from the Flamingo Diving Jon Watts, which saw wonderful interplay between backs and forwards.
Aberdare's Matthew Bowen had a try disallowed in the last play of the match but this was the only negative from a Man of the Match performance.
Final Score 29-17
Aberdare welcome Gwernyfed next week. K.O 14:30
