Tregaron v Aberaeron

The long wait for the return of competitive rugby finally came to an end on Saturday after an enforced period of 18 months. The return protocol is very much different from previous seasons very much on a trial basis with a local Bowl league in a pre Xmas competition. Aberaeron’s opening encounter involved a trip to Tregaron and after a couple of successful friendlies much was expected. The away support were not to be disappointed as spread of experience and youth ensured an opening day success. It was the hosts that opened scoring with an early penalty, but it was quickly reversed as Morgan Llewelyn showed individual expertise with a solo 2 try salvo of the highest order. Successful conversions by Rhodri Jenkins paved the way for another crossing, this time a first fro hooker Gareth Flynn following a concerted forward drive. From the restart the hosts hit back and were rewarded with their first of the afternoon.The fourth Seagulls score gave a insight into the future as young wings Own Lloyd and Ifan Davies combined in a cross field move with the final pass giving Dafydd Lloyd the scoring chance. With half time looming Llewelyn, relishing his centre position , completed his hattrick with a quick penalty and leaving would be tacklers in his wake. Jenkins duly added the extras. With rolling subs being allowed during the game a host of changes resulted in a quieter opening to the second period and it gave the hosts the encouragement which they duly accepted with 2 early close range tries. This provided only a respite as Aberaeron took control of the last quarter with a close range success for Gethin Hughes, followed by a storming run by Ollie Sawyer and a well deserved crossing by effervescent flanker Gethin Dafis. Jenkins completed and individual haul of 12 points and the bonus point win was secured. Next up will be a home encounter with Laugharne.
