Like a Phoenix rising out of the ashes YNYSDDU RFC are back in business. The major refurbishment of the club is near fruition and chairman Mr Kenneth Thomas is expected to announce a grand opening late February.
With all the committee and friends of Ynysddu RFC totally involved in the refurbishment programme the playing side suffered from neglect and along with a growing injury list things began to look serious. Having had a disastrous start to the season, no wins up to Christmas and a bottom of the league position team manager Ian Jones went into over drive desperate for a change of fortune.
The change coincides with the return of the Dee's TALISMEN, prop LLoyd Jones and flanker Chris Olliver are both very influential to the sides confidence and performance and this has shown in the teams resurgence. Couple this with a centre partnership that has been formed between Carl Uren and Martin Gleadall which can match any in the league and you can see why things are on the up for the club.
Seven tries were scored in to-days match against RTB Ebbw Vale with wing Dikkie Grey grabbing a hat trick. Chris Olliver, Chris Lloyd, Carl Uren all got one each before club captain finished a very enjoyable afternoon for the club by sprinting in under the posts from 65 meters. John Richards converted 5 and added a penalty to give himself a personal Tally of 13 points.
Full credit must be given to RT's who played some excellent rugby and defended manfully making it a very entertaining match. Referee Neil Hennesey also played a very important part letting the game flow and communicating with the players superbly.
Ynysddu are looking forward to entertaining Ciboure RFC next weekend as the French side pay Wales a flying visit.
