Seasiders Suffer Another Defeat

Penarth lost to Cambrian Welfare with a final score of 20-14.

Match Summary

A pattern is emerging as both Caerphilly and Cambrian Welfare have developed similar tactics against top-of-the-table Penarth. Their strategy focuses on solid, well-organized defence to disrupt Penarth's natural flow of tries and fast-paced attack when in possession.

Cambrian Welfare's Advantage

Cambrian Welfare, eager to claim their second win after a sluggish start that left them in the relegation zone with only one win in six games, dominated the first 10 minutes despite not playing at full strength. They applied relentless pressure in Penarth’s home 22 through intense phases of play.

The pressure finally paid off when Cambrian won a scrum and moved quickly along the right touchline. A kick ahead reached the goal area, but the touchdown was ruled over the dead-ball line. Still, the dropout went straight to outside centre Nico Williams, who charged over for the opening try. Score: 7-0.

Continued Dominance

The home team’s fast back line struck again five minutes later when left wing Jenson Walker made a lightning break and scored behind the posts. As Cambrian extended their lead to three scores with a well-struck penalty, the visiting Seasiders appeared rattled and struggled to find their footing.

“The hosts’ frantically quick back division were to strike again five minutes later, as left wing Jenson Walker strolled round behind the posts after a lightning break.”
