Rose Heyworth Road, Abertillery.

Old Tyleryan RFC 10 – 0 Magor RFC 

This was quite literally a game to forget. The only Division 6 East fixture to survive the weather which was truly awful, constant rain, a continuous biting wind and temperatures well inside single figures. Injuries were plentiful including hypothermia. It was almost impossible to play rugby in these conditions but it was Old T’s who managed to get it over the line with a first half penalty and a second half try and conversion. There were 27 scrums which tells its own story. Most people, on the pitch and off it, were happy when the final whistle went.

One item of note was the minutes silence held, respectfully, by both teams in honour of the Magor number 8 Wesley Cunliffe’s father who sadly passed away this week. All of our thoughts are with Wes and his family at this sad time.
