Bedwas 13 6 Llandovery
Saturday March 10, Bridgefield
Two second half tries secured a home win for Bedwas in the Principality Welsh Premiership.
Bedwas probably should have had the first points on the board,after a series of scrums close to the Llandovery line.
Surprisingly, the home side opted to kick for goal despite being dominant in the preceding scrums.
But they failed as Steffan Jones’ penalty attempt drifted wide.
The visitors eventually broke the deadlock with a long-range penalty by Kristian Jones, but then found themselves down to 14 men with Stuart Worrall sin-binned.
The lead was short-lived as Steffan Jones kicked a penalty five minutes later and the sides went into the break level.
Bedwas looked sharper in the second half but Llandovery added the first points after 49 minutes via a Kristian Jones penalty in front of the posts after Bedwas went offside.
But minutes later Bedwas regained the lead as Geraint Edmunds charged down a clearance kick and reacted the quickest for the loose ball to cross for an unconverted try.
Rhys Hutcherson was sin-binned for Bedwas but his team- mates dug deep to claim victory.
Bedwas flanker James Richards was the Casa Mia Restaurant, Caerphilly, man-of-the match.
