The 1st XV were the only side in action on Saturday and they entertained Brecon RFC at Bargoed Park.

Both sides were looking to play expansively but Bargoed had the edge early on but could not break down the visitors defence. 

Brecon received a red card for a high tackle and went down to 14 men after 15 minutes. Bargoed remained patient and opened the scoring with Will Keep crossing for a try after 20 minutes.

Bargoed scored again a few minutes later with a cross field    kick from Joe Scrivens being fielded superbly by Dylan Williams and with Logan Yendle and Josh Prosser also involved, Will Keep bagged his second try as Bargoed took the lead 12-0.

Bargoed increased their lead to 17-0 after 31 minutes with Will Keep crossing for his hat trick after Logan Yendle did some great work to set him up. 

Bargoed got the bonus point try with 38 minutes gone, this time with Will Keep as the provider and Logan Yendle the try scorer. Bargoed led 22-0 at half time. 

Bargoed scored early in the second half to increase the lead to 27-0 with Adam Jones scoring in the corner which was greeted with the sheep chant by the Warriors who were watching the game. 

Brecon opened their account with a converted try after 47 minutes to close the gap to 27-7.

Brecon looked like they would score again but great defensive work from Dylan Williams prevented them scoring. 

The visitors were now having their best period in the game but Bargoed worked hard in defence to keep them out. 

Bargoed increased their lead after lead with Will Keep getting his fourth try after an attack that started in the Bargoed half. Joe Scrivens converted to make it 34-7 with 12 minutes to go. 

Bargoed scored again after another good build up in attack with replacement Will Ford scoring after some great footwork and vision. Joe Scrivens converted and Bargoed led 41-7.

The hosts scored again after good work by Will Gregory put Toby Thomas in for a try, which Joe Scrivens converted. 

Bargoed’s final try after some direct carries before Jonny Wright crashed over with Scrivens again converting to make the final score Bargoed 55 Brecon 7.

The Coaching staff were pleased with the performance and particularly how clinical we were in attack, against a side who were tough to breakdown, even with 14 men.
