Mumbles 35 - Fishguard 26

There was plenty of action in this entertaining tussle but it was Mumbles who eventually came out on top against a Fishguard & Goodwick side which battled hard throughout but were unable to take several chances against opponents who did.

Alun George gave The Seagulls an early lead which was cancelled out by three points from Mumbles kicker James Griffiths before a Mike Jenkins’ try put the visitors ahead again.

The lead was short-lived however as Mumbles claimed tries from Lewis Buckley (2) and No 8 Tyler Owen, one converted by Howells, to establish a 20-11 interval lead as another George penalty was Fishguard’s only reply.

The Seagulls fought hard to stay in contention through good tries from Ed Bendall and Simon James to go with a George conversion and penalty but they had claims for two other tries disallowed and a late Mumbles try from Andrew Ebbs ensured they didn’t even have the consolation of a bonus point for all their hard work.
