Aber De Bud the Flower

Abergavenny returned to league action and welcomed Fleur De lys to Bailey park, having previously beaten them away from home earlier in the season the home side were hoping for a comprehensive victory which would put them on top of the league for the first time this season.

Once again the clarets team had a settled look about it Jack Williams, Ieuan James and Matt Charles were up front Will Evans and Luke Williams in the second row and in the back row, Nathan Thomas was flanked by Rudi Lewis and Dan Beavan. Ryan Joyce and Rhod Webser were the half backs there was a new center partnership of Nathan Byrne and Wil Williams, Lloyd Holder, Dan Dunmore and Jacob Butler made up the back three.

The game started with Flower taking the initiative keeping the ball well and putting the home side under a prolonged period of pressure but Abers defence held firm and eventually worked their way out of their half and consolidated a position in Fleurs half. Abergavenny now applied the pressure and were rewarded with three converted tries by half time, two by center Will Williams and the other by scrum half Ryan Joyce.

The second half was very much business as usual with Jacob Buttler securing the bonus point with an early try allowing the home side to relax and play some good rugby which resulted in replacement Sam Vaughan scoring two excellent tries. Although Flower were well beaten they never gave up the ghost and were rewarded with a consolation try late on which Aber replied to with their last try scored by replacement scrum half Rhob Connick to leave the final score 45-5 to the home side and see them go top of the league.

Abergavenny RFC would like to thank their match sponsors Dai Thomas, Eryl Cooke and Tom Moss who named Abergavenny flanker Dan Beavan as their man of the match.
