Glebelands PARK, Newport.

Magor RFC 12 – 31 Brynithel

It was only a month ago that we turned Brynithel over on their own patch and I’m sure they were looking for payback and payback they got. Not really a home game due to the ongoing 4g work at Caldicot Leisure Centre, we switched to St. Julian’s ground at Glebelands Park and we thank St. Julian’s for this.

Brynithel struck first with two converted tries stretching out to a 0 – 14 lead. Still plenty of time to play but Magor were chasing the game. The first Magor score came from a driving lineout with Josh Buffery bagging the spoils and the conversion put over by 15 Aaron Boardman. Brynithel hit back 5 minutes later though with a third converted try making the half time score Magor 7 – 21 Brynithel.

Magor really needed to score next to stay in the game but it was Brynithel who stretched their lead by three when they slotted over a penalty from Magor’s 10m line right in front of the posts. They further stretched the lead just a minute later when a loose ball was picked up by the Brynithel 11 who raced from their 22 to score under the posts. This effectively gave Brynithel the win but Magor had the last word with an unconverted try from Aeddan Erasmus. Brynithel must be pleased with the result, honours even over the two games. Magor and Brynithel are now battling for the fourth spot in Div 6 East with St. Julian’s, Penallta Athletic and New Tredegar stretching away.
