A good, if wet day at New Dock. Played before the Wales v South Africa match the Warriors managed to triumph a rather frantic and frenetic match in which 90 points were scored. There is a bit of editing to go on the report but heres the excluisive preview...
Match report
The Warriors edged this high scoring but scrappy affair by just 2 points to continue their unbeaten run.
The game was played in poor conditions with a constant drizzle having a detrimental effect on handling. This was a shame as both sides attempted to run the ball throughout the match. Whilst the game was scrappy there was plenty to keep spectators entertained and both sides crossed for good tries. Dock were 1st out of the blocks, their team had everything with an age range of 17 – 57 and they combined these elements to good effect.
The Warriors took a little while to get going but once Lee Rowlands had put them on the board the tries came thick and fast for both sides.For New Dock there were big performances from Baxter and former Swansea no 8 Dai Hunter and their tries came from Scott Hanford with two, Jones, Morgan, Adrians, Richards, Matthews and Hanford. Luke Edwards capped a fine game with 3 conversions. The Warriors managed to edge it though, Darren Pollitt and Roger Thomas did well defensively whilst their scores came from Captain Tony Whittaker (2 tries and two conversions), Jon Kerr (2 tries and a conversion), Gwilym Lewis, Alan Stephens and Dai Edward who rounded off a superb move next to the posts.
Played in an excellent spirit there were plenty of individuals who did well referee Dennis Davey chose Jason Jenkins as man of the match and both sides will be looking forward to the rematch on boxing day.
Llanelli Warriors: Lee Rowlands (Jon Jones), Richard Evans, Alan Stephens, Tony Whittaker, Andrew John, Lee Barber, Jason Bennett, Jason Jenkins, Dai Edwards, Roger Thomas, Darren Pollitt, Jon Kerr, Gwilym Lewis, Chris Spriggs.
It was a good day for the Warriors; New Dock contigent with Jason, Juice and Chrisp all enjoying the match, (shame Simon Jenkins didn't turn up). Rich Hapus, Colin Talcon, Lee Rowlands and Juice each shared a half for New Dock.
Darren Petticoat managed to complete an excellent tackle and Bloc deserves a mention for his stroming runs and piggy back rides. Try of the day though was definatley Dai Ed who showed what good support play is and crossed near the posts. Lee Barabra and Gwilym Lulu seemed to form a good understanding at the base of the scrum and they will look forward to continuing this next time they play together (2010).
In the bar afterwards Jason was named man of the match whilst, despite impending fatherhood Gwilym was one of the last to leave as the team flitted away into the night. The rematch is set for Boxing day.
