Momentum growing as Drovers bag third victory

-

BEDWAS ........................... 30 LLANDOVERY ................. 52

LLANDOVERY assistant coach Simon Davies believes there is a good feeling growing at Church Bank after their win at Bedwas made it three wins from three in the Premiershi­p.

Jack Maynard and Ricky Guest braces handed the Drovers a bonus point while Matthew Moore, Shaun Miles and Dafydd Land added further tries.

Maynard added all seven conversion­s and a penalty to add gloss to the scoreline.

Bedwas grabbed a bonus point of their own thanks to Alun Rees, George Gasson, Mike Dacey and Luke Crane. Joseph Scrivens kicked eight points and Jacob Chilcott added a late conversion.

“We’re really pleased to have three wins in a row,” said Davies. “It’s not just the wins, it’s the manner of the performanc­es.

“Traditiona­lly the Drovers have played an open, expansive game and we’ve now focused into getting a bit more speed into our attack.

“We’re not perfect by any stretch but it’s building nicely and we’re a happy camp right now. We were a bit disappoint­ed about the last 10 minutes but if you’d asked us this morning if we’d settle for a bonuspoint win and 50 points then we’d have accepted that.

“Bedwas is a tough place to come to and always has been.”

BEDWAS – Tries: A Rees, G Gasson, M Dacey, L Crane; Cons: J Scrivens, J Chilcott; Pens: J Scrivens (2). LLANDOVERY – Tries: M Moore, S Miles, J Maynard (2), R Guest (2), D Land; Cons: J Maynard (7); Pen: J Maynard.
