Sometimes, if you pray hard enough and the planets align, you get one of those days when everything goes your way. Saturday was one of them.
Three games, three wins. Take it, enjoy it and celebrate it! 🎉
Arguably, our biggest success is fielding three Saturday teams in the first place. We continue to build our pathway from minis to juniors, youth and seconds, developing our own players and building something sustainable. No shortcuts, no chasing dreams with the coin. Just hard work, commitment and the Ystradgynlais way.
🏉 FIRSTS: A proper arm wrestle against the Stars, with neither side giving an inch. Patience paid off late on as prop Richard Murphy powered over for the winning try. Relief, joy and several other emotions rolled into one. The rematch in the cup next month promises another huge battle.
🏉 SECONDS: A big squad, plenty of teenage talent and a vital win against a determined Gorseinon. Huge thanks to our neighbours at Cwmtwrch for the warm welcome and use of their facilities. Good luck with Friday’s fireworks.
🏉 YOUTH: A brilliant response to last week’s disappointment, beating Baglan to get our Ospreys Cup Phase Two campaign off to a winning start. Credit to the players and coaches for their continued commitment and resilience.
🏉 MINIS & JUNIORS: Six sides enjoyed a dry autumn morning filled with tries, passes, smiles and celebrations.
🏴 Autumn internationals starts next weekend. Join us for Wales v Japan at 4.40pm on Saturday. Cymru am byth.
Take care, Ystradgynlais. And remember… there is always one 😉
ALLEZ LES BLEUS 💙
