Pentyrch started this game as if there was nothing on it, with numourous loose play penalties being given away, (something we must improve on) the Tyrchs were 13-0 down after about 20 mins, when Senghenydd had scored their try from some 75m out (we were sleeping).
At the restart we did start to put pressure on the home side and as a result scrum half C Moss dived on a loose ball at the line to make us 13-5, this seemed to put a spakle into the side and we chased everything from then on a great rip of the ball by replacement centre W Bynon ( M John retired hurt, knock to the leg) saw him run in under the post unapossed M Bean converted 13-12 further pressure was placed on the home side and no 8 h Griffths scored near the posts to see a futher con by Bean to make it 13-19 at half time.
The coaches seemed a much happier crew after this and the Tyrchs carried on with some good attacking stuff at any opportunity and our best try of the day from prop T Mullins saw him finish a move that started well into our half with a lot of inter passing Mullins ran in from about 25m to score the first of his two tries Bean Con 13-26, again the ball was being sent across the back line and Mullins scored with no one at home
No 10 H Williams kicked the con to see the final score of 13-33 well done to all the squad keep this up for the game next week at home.

Away to Porth and up against a much bigger pack than we have seen so far this season, the tyrchs were missing some keys players in certain positions and it told in the end with non-contested scrums being an opition taken by the coaches later on in the game.
Porth came out of the starting blocks with everything geared towards the Tyrchs line, many a dropped pass or a knock on stopped them scoring, also I may say some very determind tackling by our boys, which after all of the pressure from the home side placed on us for first 30 mins, it was only 3-o to them. A kick and chase up into the home 22 saw ball stolen and a good try by G Eyres in the corner with a conversation by M Bean from the touch line this was followed by a penalty and saw the Tyrchs 3-10 up at half time, much against the run of play.
The second half was much the same treatment from the heavier Porth Pack with a resulting penalty try award by the referee 10-10, three further penalties followed for talking back to the referee and other silly misdemeamours which cost the Tyrchs a league point.
These are things that we must stamp out for the future, as it will cost us games for silly reasons. This includes supporters as there is a club code of conduct that we have signed up to , so lets give the referees some support every week, that said lets now look forward to Llantwit Major away next week and a much improved preformance by all.

A different day and a different additude by all concerned, after a lot of pressure by the Tyrchs the home side conceded a try by the very busy srcum half for the away side C Moss from a break by captain J Steel, who had an excellent game a couple of penalties and conversation byMark Bean made up the score, there was a much bettter game plan in place for this game and it showed, we still need to look at the break down as we are still giving lots of penalties away. The referee left all, at times very confused on his law interpretation, but to come away with a win at the current league leaders was a great bonus for the club, well done to all concerned and it was good to see club captain J Steel back in action after a lot of working weekends away.

Home to league leaders Abercwmboi 2.30pm KO, they started as they carried on with wave after wave of attacking rugby we were 7 points down in as many mins, only for us to draw level with a T marley try con M Bean, after they had lost their scrum half (red card), we could not match the abercwmboi forward pressure and we concided a further 4 tries to see the end score 7-35, much room for improvment from all of the team.

A friendly against a development xv from UWIC saw a very much more conmitted preformance from all concerned, they would have scored about 4 or 5 more tries if the ball hand gone to hand, both sides run the ball at every chance and the all round preformanace of the Tyrchs saw the end result of 17-7 being a fair one on the night.
Sat 15th Nov
Home in the Plate competition of the Swales cup against Barry which with quite a few changes to the side, saw the tyrchs romp home 29-0, a much improved preformance by all involved, tries from a penalty try, S Cole, G Eyres, D Ince and a good kicking day from M Bean with 9 points, hope the draw next week is kind and we can progress to the next stage of the competition.
