Fall Bay RFC - Fall Bay Rugby Club - Gower, Swansea

Saturday the 1st of November saw Fall Bay playing Tregaron at home in the league. After two tough games the previous season including a draw at home a close encounter was expected.

Following a slightly delayed kick-off all the early pressure came from Fall Bay with strong early runs from amongst others Stuart Barrow, Steve Hewitt and Dai “clean off it”. All this early pressure failed to yield any tries for Fall Bay and also included two failed penalty kicks into the wind from the usually reliable Kirk Reardon.

Saturday the 11th of October saw Fall Bay playing South Gower away in the first local derby game of the season. Despite South Gower having a tough start to the season with regard to results, where local derbies are concerned form normally exits via the window.

The team on Saturday saw the return of Richard Furneaux from two weeks warm weather training and all the gym work had obviously paid off as the No 3 jersey was noticeably fuller!

On Saturday Oct 4th we welcomed Pontrhydyfen to Fall Bay RFC. Based on last season, it lived up to expectations of being a closely fought game with Pontrhydyfen eventually winning by 3 points, with a final score of 29 - 26. The extremely wet and windy weather was always going to make it a difficult day for running rugby with Fall Bay playing with the strong wind in the first half. The early exchanges were dominated by handling errors, one of which in the Pontrhydyfen midfield, led to a kick and chase with Dan “Lynda Carter” Davies winning the race for the touchdown on her return from injury. Kirk Reardon converted the try to give Fall Bay a 7-0 lead. Further pressure led to a penalty from Kirk. The Pontrhydyfen forwards responded with some good driving play into the Fall Bay 22 culminating in a penalty for them.
