Fixture

A typical Welsh spring day with a fine all round climate but the threat of a shower or too saw Morriston rfc visit Plas y ddol. With Morriston chasing a win to seal promotion we knew we wete in for another hard day at the office, our effors were also hampered by the fact most of our players were still suffering from a tour to Benidorm the week before. A tour that saw this weeks report sponsored by tattoo fixers, several of our squad are proud of their ink but they are bizzare in some cases to say the least and some are obviously unaware of the Maori legend that you cant get to heaven unless you have some ink on you!!
We started strongly and showed we were willing to match our more illustrious opponents blow for blow as both sides sought to win the arm wrestle up front in a brutal opening 20 minutes. Then with us on the attack an interception saw Morriston go 80 meters for the opening try. Dewi who has his fav football team Inverness Caledonian Thistle tattooed around his impressive guns (must have stared a trend as Shaver has Bury on his and it only just fits!) pulled his hamstring chasing the Morriston player and that was the end of him. Following on from our impressive ways to prepare for games he was seen squatting in the gym before ko proving whilst is guns might be enlarged his brain certainly isn't. We battled on with the belligerent Owen Phillips and Skonz leading the aggressive defence now whilst Owen is a tattoo virgin Skonz is a different story altogether with his frightening clown on his thigh and an anchor on his finger only a part of his collection. Morriston continued to push but we continued to battle hard after a dodgy start our scrum was getting on top and our line out was also going well with Alex Daniel winning a lot of ball now Alex as a very unusual tattoo he has Llanfairpwll etc etc tattoed on his willy which also seems to have started a trend for having North Wales towns on your pride and joy as Dylan Davies as Rhyl tattooed on his and that only just fits too. Morriston then broke away for a second try and then added a third as we lost possession and their impressive 9 sped down the blindside. Undaunted we fought back and after some good pressure we released Jack Holland and crazy Jack who has a spaceship among is ink presumably in honour of the boys who dropped him off on planet earth scorched over for a fine try. Hodge who has a pink unicorn on his right buttock failed with the conversion and that was that for the scoring in the first half 17-5 to Morriston.
The second half saw us again start strongly with some storming runs from Owen and big Kelv ( who is off to tattoo fixers having had several of the teams name tattooed on his chest in Benidorm ) to the fore. We got camped in the Morriston 22 but despite the best efforts of Doc (three feathers but not the traditional and worst tattoo a Welshman can have effort) to crash over Morristons defence held firm. The livewire Cons who has Bummer tattoed on his shoulder came closest having his effort ruled out for a double movement. Morriston weathered the storm and then broke away for a 80 meter effort to break our hearts but not our efforts. After another spell of attack we were forced back and as the game threatned to boil over Morriston knocked over a penalty. Within minutes they added another try and the game descended into mayhem as a traditional old school all in kicked off amazingly the only action the referee took was to yellow card the Morriston 3 who spent the whole game talking and had a pink unicorn tattooed on his left buttock! Still we refused to lie down and the aggressive JD (blue peter badge on his left pec) and the honey badger were replaced by Alex Williams (tenby 2016) and Jordan Paulser (Banwen Rfc on his left thigh) . Our efforts continued but Morriston still put up a stern defence that proved hard to crack despite the best efforts of speedy Cellan Edwards ( my fav tattoo of my teamates if a Red Indian looking wolf not sure about the red roses one though) and Tom Price (C divison was here on his left buttock) we couldnt break through. Morriston broke away and only a superb tackle by Alex Williams on their flying winger prevented another try. Despite the arrival of Pepsi (Daffy Duck on his foot amongst his collection! !!) and Tank (Cardiff City badge on his shoulder) we still couldnt hold them out as they crossed for s finsl try. The game ended with us pressing but still not threatening the Morriston line as they ended worthy winners despite Macs wayward line out throwing and earned a deserved promotion to Division 2 . A good effort as always boys with Skonz and Doc to the fore but my mom would be Owen Phillips bloodied but not beaten inboth defence and attack. Of course the twat goes to Dewi and his twanging hamstring as we wound up our home season woth a 34-5 defeat. Got to get back on the horse this wednesday now boys to face a Glyncorrwg team who have to win to have any chance of avoiding relegation and possibly without Shaver who has access all areas and coach parties welcome on his buttocks and his very laid back father!
