U11's in Tondu test

World cup success, birthday celebrations and another debut were all on the menu as Llantwit’s Under 11 made the short trip to Tondu on Sunday. After the incessant downpour in the latter part of the week it was a pleasant surprise to see the Tondu pitches in such fine condition which helped make for a fine rugby encounter. With Wales struggling to entertain parents soon abandoned their mobile devices in exchange for the athletic endeavours of the two young teams on display. The game started with a typical frenetic tempo as both teams struggled with the slippery conditions. Resembling the Neath team from the 1990’s Llantwit’s players started “sticking it up the jumper” with the wise players wondering if they’d see the ball again. Seven changes at the midway point of the first half which saw Sam Fellows became the latest debutant and they looked to get straight into the action. These changes seemed to remind players that team mates existed and the players cast off the boring crash ball in exchange for Fijian flair.

The high risk rugby whilst fraught with mistakes soon brought its reward with an outstanding team try. The players were now spraying the ball around with the precision of a Karcher jet wash and the only missing was a Bill Mclaren voice over. A young Huw Curtis digs it out of the ruck and moves the ball to Rio, ships it on to Will, a step and the pass to JoJo, JoJo draws the defender and passes to Keenan who gives a long pass to Bayley who scores in the corner…… Liam Davies and Birthday boy Aaron Moce also got themselves on the score sheet and it was another good effort by the players. The squad continues to grow and it seems a distant memory to when the team struggled to get a side on a Sunday. What better way to end the morning first up the news of Wales victory, followed by a quick birthday chorus and finished with some Haribo!
