13's in close encounter with St Julians

After a month off the rugby field Llantwit Major Under 13’s begun 2022 with a trip to St Julians RFC in Newport looking to start the rugby year on a positive note. Unfortunately for the visitors it didn’t take long for the defensive ghouls of 2021 to rear their ugly head and they soon found themselves conceding warming the area behind the posts as St Julians ran in 3 tries. The early tries didn’t stop Llantwit from trying to play their rugby and after running through a few phases the ball came to Aaron Moce who bulldozed his way through the defence to score the first try. Buoyed by the score Llantwit tried to pressure St Julians defence but after a loose kick the St Julians fullback found space to run in and score another try for the home team.  With the half time score 24-7 the visiting team had a stirring half team chat looking to rectify some easy mistakes that were tarnishing their game. Looking a different side, Llantwit now started to play with aggression and tempo and they began to stretch the St Julians defence. Tries started to come with Aaron Moce, Tyler Lee and Efan Mitchell all breaching the home teams try line and Llantwit soon found leading the match. The game started to resemble a barbarians game with both sides trying to run the ball from all parts of the pitch. St Julians struck again to take the score to 31-33 which set up an exciting finale. As Llantwit Major pushed for another score, St Julians got the ball from a turnover and quickly moved it to their fast-running wing who rounded the Llantwit defence and finish the scoring for St Julians. A thrilling start to 2022 with the visitors losing out 38-33 on the scoreboard but lots of positives to take from the game.
