The Final: Rumney 33 Penarth 10

Rumney got off to a very fast start by playing some brilliant sevens rugby, moving the ball quickly down the line, always finding winger James Chapman who used his pace to cause Penarth plenty of problems. Luke Jones was given the difficult task of trying to contain some of the much larger Penarth forwards while Terry Gee and Cameron James had to be on the top of their game to contain a very impressive Penarth back line. Rumney jumped out to an early lead and were able to build on that with some great tries making the half time score 28 points to 5 in Rumney's favour. Rumney knew Penarth would come back strong in the second half and they did, looking a much improved side but Rumney were able to control the last few minutes of the game and end the second half with one try a piece, making the final score 33-10 to Rumney. Well done boys !!!

Mini and Junior Rumney Under 13s went on tour to Aberporth and enjoyed two superb games of rugby.

Saturday 8th May

Rumney U13s 45 Narberth U13s 00

Rumney started strongly in the forwards playing against a strong Narberth pack. The game was a stalemate for the first ten minutes until Rumney were able to supply the backs with clean ball and they soon found running lanes. Rumney scored four well worked tries in the first half to lead 22- 00 at the half. Several of the Rumney players played their best games of the season on this tour and proved to be too strong for Narberth who eventually fell on the wrong side of a 45-00 score line.

Tries : T.M.Gee 3 tries, C. James 2 tries, J. Kuwale 1 try, J.Chapman 1 try. Conversions : H.Drane 5 Man of the Match : T.M.Gee

Sunday 9th May

Rumney U13s 37 Newcastle Emlyn U13s 12

A very tired Rumney team took to the field in glorious weather against a very professional looking Newcastle Emlyn team and once again the game started with neither team able to break through the other team's defences. Rumney eventually opened up the game with some fine kicking from outside half Harry Drane which kept the Newcastle Emlyn team guessing, this gave space to centre Terri Gee and wing James Chapman to score several tries on the day. Up front every player played well with the pack really starting to gel. The game was close at half time with Rumney leading ten points to five. In the second half Rumney, with some more decisive finishing, were able to get in front and with Harry kicking well from hand Rumney were able to keep Newcastle pinned back in their own half for large portions of the game, which enabled Rumney to close out the game.

Tries : T.M.G 4 tries, J. Chapman 2 tries, C. James 1 try. Conversions : H. Drane 1 Man of the Match : J. Chapman.

We would like to thank all the players and supporters for making it a great weekend and we would also like to thank Narberth and Newcastle Emlyn for the hospitality. (Roll on next year)

Sunday 21st March 2010, k.o. 11.00 am

Rumney Under 11s played Rhiwbina in the quarter finals of the Blues Cup.

After the first try Rumney took hold of the game and just before half time they scored again. Half time score 0 -14. After the break the game opened up with Rhiwbina putting  pressure on Rumney's defence but the boys tackled well and Rumney's pack turned over lots of ball. Rumney continued to spin the ball wide and in the end ran out 0-31 winners, and a place in the semi finals waits. Good luck boys.

Rumney Under 13s 25   St Albans Under 13s 40

On a sunny but cold day Rumney gave St Albans a massive 21- 0 head start before they even looked to have switched on. To their credit The Buns were well in control of the game with their number ten calling the shots. Rumney needed to keep the ball with their powerful forwards and when they started to do this they moved down the field to score their first try, prop Kane Hocking powering over from short yardage following a well won line out by Elliot Coleman. Half time Rumney 5  St Albans 21.

In the second half Rumney had the wind behind them but again a slow start meant The Buns got the first try of the half. Kane scored his second try of the game following some good work in the rucks from Luke Jones and David Price, Kane took the ball from the back of the ruck to power over. Rumney finally got something going in the backs and spun the ball out to winger James Chapman who galloped from his own twenty two to score a well worked try. Rumney were clawing there way back into the game and a quickly taken penalty by captain Rhys Elford brought the scores closer as he off loaded to Harry Drane to score and begin putting The Buns under increased pressure. Kane Hocking completed his hat rick of tries to close the gap to eight points but in the last two minutes The Buns talented number ten intercepted a pass to score and complete the game.

Scorers for Rumney Under 13s : K.Hocking 3 tries, H.Drane try, J.Chapman try

Man of the Match : Kane Hocking.

Sunday 28th February 2010

Risca Under 13s 26   Rumney Under 13s 5

Rumney travelled to play their first encounter of the year against a strong disciplined Risca team. The first half was very even with both sets of forwards battling it out for territory, Risca dominating the lineouts with their taller second rows, while Rumney had the better of the rucks and mauls with superb rucking and counter rucking led by Kane Hocking. Risca got on the score board first following a penalty, then a drive over the line from the line out. Rumney were seven nil down and knew they were in a game. With clean ball Rumney started to unleash there backs, Scott Finney firing quick passes out, putting Cameron James in space to score under the posts from thirty meters out. This brought the half to a close with Rumney trailing seven points to five.

In the second half Risca started to dominate the game with their outside half controlling the game with good kicking. The forward battle continued with Elliot Coleman and Luke Jones working  tirelessly to win ball. Rumney were were put to the sword in the second half, being out scored three tries to nil. Rumney have plenty of positives to take out of this match and work on, but a big improvement is needed before their quater final against Pontypridd in the Blues cup.

Man of the Match : Luke Jones.

Rumney Under 13s 38   Abercynon Under 13s 5

On a glorious day for rugby Rumney progressed to the next round of the Blues Cup with a comfortable win over Abercynon. It was Rumney's first home game since November and the boys had the  pleasure of playing on the first team pitch. A good crowd did not have to wait long for the first score, Teri Morgan hitting the line at speed, breaking several tackles and scoring under  the posts from a long way out. Luke Jones made some big tackles and turned plenty of ball Rumney's way which the backs put to good use making the score 28-00 at half time.

To their credit Abercynon came back into the game in the second half and took some control up front but a piece of individual brilliance from out side half Joe Kuwale saw a soccer style try scored from deep in his only half. Cameron James scored a powerful try after some good off loading by several Rumney players. Abercynon scored a well deserved try with good work by their forwards. Elliot Coleman came back into the Rumney team after a long lay off and everyone was pleased to see his return. This was a good team performance from a Rumney side not quite at full strength, they wait to see who they have in the next round.

Scorers : T.M Gee 3 tries, C. James 2 tries, J. Kuwale try.

Rumney U13s  55    Ynysybwl U13s  0

Rumney made the trip to Ynysybwl and quickly started to dominate this match. Strong work by the Rumney forwards with David Price, Danny Guy and Luke Jones all making plenty of ground with the ball in hand, meant the tries came thick and fast. The Rumney pack were very strong and provided scrum half and captain Rhys Elford with quick clean ball which made for an easy day for the Rumney backs who ran riot on this occasion. Thanks to Ynysybwl who never gave up and for their hospitality after the game.
