Ynysddu v RTB Ebbw Vale
The Dee's claimed their first win of the season at RTB Ebbw Vale by 38 points to 5.
Ynysddu supporters have only had flashes of what their backs could do with decent ball but today their three quarters turned on the style. Captain Martin Gleadall lead by example with two superb tries both from powerful angled runs. Not to be outdone fellow centre Kevin Chamberlain showed a clean pair of heals to race in and touch down after fine work by fly half Grant Robson.
Chamberlain not only has an excellent turn of speed but also is a very strong tackler. He also possesses a shrewd rugby brain and is set to make a name for himself at Ynysddu. Provider then turned scorer as Robson capped a superb performance going over under the posts himself. His try was made all the simpler by Byron Williams who after taking a tap penalty literally turned RT's defence inside out. His 45 metre run was greeted with huge applause from both sets of supporters.
With the visitors playing their expansive game the home sides defence was being stretched, wing Ian Prosser made the most of an overlap and raced in from 30 metres. With all the backs getting the glory it was just reward that the hard working forwards got in on the act. Flanker Chris Arnold took a quick tap and when dragged down just short of the line, prop Ross Morgan was on hand to dive over. Craig Huish slotted over 4 conversions to establish himself as the club's main goal keeper.
