WRU National League Division 2 West
TYCROES 23 ATHLETIC 19
If ever there was a case of the one that got away - it was today! Athletic started really brightly and set a high tempo which was pleasing to the eye. Opportunities presented themselves on numerous occasions with four clear try scoring chances inexplicably spurned by the Red & Blacks. The home side defended with gusto and were rewarded with two tries to somehow lead 17-9 at the interval.
The second half saw the visitors claw back to within a single point of their hosts at 20-19, thanks to a try by No. 8 Lee Bradley. But all their good work was to be in vain as a lack of discipline in the final ten minutes saw two Athletic players yellow carded. With their ranks reduced to thirteen, Tycroes duly clinched the points with a final penalty goal.
