Nelson 12 Bargoed 62

Bargoed's warm up for their first season in the Principality Premiership continued with a ten try work out at near neighbours and old friends Nelson.

The first 30 minute period saw the home side put up some stiff resistance outscoring Bargoed by two tries to one. Centre Lewis Bowden opened the scoring with Calum Jones adding the extras before Nelson hit back with a well worked counter attack to square it, taking the lead 12-7 minutes later aftef creating an overlap out wide.

With 20 minutes gone, Calum Jones found touch 5 metres out from a penalty and the lineout gave Rhys Morgan the opportunity to go over at the back of a driving maul. Nelson kicked a penalty to make it 15-12 at the end of the first of three 30 minute periods.

Nelson kicked another penalty just after the restart but it was pretty much one way traffic after that with David Evans and Luke Ellaway  going over in quick succession -  both tries converted by Sam Withers to make it 18-26.

Withers then scored two tries of his own separated by one from Greg Callow, converting two out of the three to take the game away from Nelson at 18-45 by the end of the second period.

The final period saw tries from Lewis Lippiett, Ashley Norton and Bryce Morgan, rounding off the second of three warm up games. Next weekend Bargoed travel to the West Country to play English National League 2 side Exmouth.
