Otters turn over Tondu
Tondu 17
Narberth 22
IN A TIGHT second half, it was flanker Stuart Worrall who stole the show for the Otters, as he touched down for a fantastic try, converted by Ianto Griffiths which was the only score in the second half. Narberth were on the score sheet first as Ianto Griffiths slotted a neat penalty before Rhys Davies slid over out wide. Tondu then ran in three tries in nearly as many minutes as Matthew Morgan, Gavin Eager and Shane Bowen all broke through the Otters defence, and scrum half Gareth Power added the extras to one try.
However the Otters showed true grit as they fought back through Rhys Davies, as the man of the match touched down for his second try, this time converted by Griffiths. This called to an end a very busy first half, and the Otters were two points adrift. The second half kicked off, and neither side gave an inch in a tight affair. Both sides were cautious not to give away kickable penalties, and this showed as the game was played between the two 22 meter lines. Stuart Worrall then claimed the decisive score, giving Narberth a sweet victory on the road. They now travel to Blackwood on Saturday (Nov 1) for their next league fixture.

Signed Wales shirts gifted to RNLI go up for auction

FOLLOWING a winning start to the Six Nations Tournament, the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) have scored a winning try for the RNLI, gifting six signed rugby shirts to help save lives at sea.
Each rugby shirt has been signed by the full WRU squad and are accompanied by a certificate of authentication – a winning prize for any Welsh rugby fan.
To avoid a ruck for the WRU shirts the charity has placed all six signed shirts on an online auction, ensuring a fair game for all who wish to win the golden prize. The auction will be live until Wednesday, March 31, which allows plenty of time for supporters to bid for the team in red.
Each signed shirt includes Wales Captain, Mumbles RNLI supporter and the most capped international player of all time Alun Wyn Jones; as well as Louis Rees-Zammit, the Man of the Match in the nail-biting Scotland v Wales game.
Nick Evans, RNLI Fundraising and Partnership Lead said: ‘On behalf of the charity I would like to say a big thank you to the Welsh Rugby Union for donating these fantastic prizes to the RNLI. RNLI volunteers are on call 24-7 and are often called away from important events such as family celebrations – or international rugby tournaments – to respond to the pager if someone is in trouble at sea.
‘Like all charities, 2020 was a challenging year for the RNLI when all traditional fundraising had to stop – all our shops were closed, there were no collections and all events had to be cancelled. This is why we at the RNLI are so grateful to all the team at WRU for their ongoing support. The auction is now live and we would like to encourage all Wales rugby supporters to throw the RNLI a lifeline and place their bid for the winning prize.’

Five subs to be allowed for JD Cymru Premier clubs

THE FAW’s National Leagues Board has confirmed that JD Cymru Premier clubs will be permitted to make five substitutions in matches, in accordance with the Laws of the Game, until the end of the 2020-21 top-flight season.
FIFA extended the use of the rule, which was first introduced following the COVID-19 outbreak, citing “player welfare” as part of the reason for the temporary amendment to Law 3 of the Laws of the Game.
FIFA stated that “Some competitions which resumed in 2020 may have a shorter-than-usual recovery/preparation period before the start of their next season.”
“For many competitions, the 2020/21 season will involve matches being played in a condensed period due to a delayed start and the inability to end later than usual because of major international tournaments.”
With the JD Cymru Premier set to restart on March 2, the National Leagues Board has approved the use of the rule in the JD Cymru Premier until the end of the current campaign.
