Gowerton 24 - Swansea Uplands 48

Swansea Ups travelled to Gowerton on the morning of Halloween with Gowerton looking to carry on their run of form.  When the match kicked off Gowerton started strongly with some good running from the backs.  With one strong drive to the Uplands try line the ball was stolen by an Uplands forward and cleared with an excellent kick by their No. 10 into touch.  Sam Winrow, Gowerton's full back, thinking quickly took a quick throw in to Matthew Williams who jinked to the try line to score the first try, which went unconverted. 

Swansea Uplands restarted and from the resulting ruck won a scrum from which they scored in the corner, which also went unconverted, score now being 5 - 5.

From the restart Swansea Ups started to gain the upper hand with some good rucking and thus scored another two well worked trys through their backs, with one conversion.  The score now at 5 - 17 to Uplands.  In respone Liam Morgan, Gowerton's flanker scored an excellent try with a strong run up the middle of the field, then converted by Matthew Williams.  But Swansea Uplands then went on to score a converted try just before half time, leaving the score 12 - 24 to Uplands.

The 2nd half started strongly for Gowerton with a very strong powerful drive putting Liam Morgan over for his 2nd try, which went unconverted.  But Swansea Ups hit back with another 2 quick tries which went unconverted.

Gowerton then scored the last try with a good drive on the Uplands try line to put Luke Williams over for a good try which was converted.  But then another 2 good tries by Uplands, which were also converted left the final score 24 - 48 to Swansea Uplands.

In summary it was a strong forward game from Swansea Uplands, but Gowerton let themselves down in many ways on the day.
