The last game of the season for Whitehead RFC saw them clinch the League Title for the first time in their history, in what was a very fraught occasion for players, coaches and fans. As usual, our very own roving reporter, Dai Hards, was there to give his match report:-
Whitehead RFC v Trinant RFC
The game kicked off on a very sunny day. Trinant were very strong at the scrum and were making problems for the Whitehead scrum. After a long period of presssure Trinant scored a try which was converted. Whitehead then began to pass the ball quickly and after a break were close to the Trinant line when Trinant conceded a penalty which was converted by Llyr Davies. This was followed by a drop goal by Llyr Davies. Trinant were still causing problems for the Whitehead scrum and after a series of scrums on the Whitehead line Trinant scored a try which was converted.
