In NHSOBs first ever game where kicking was allowed, they took time to adapt to the Ravens clever kicking game and conceded two first half tries from chips through. Apart from these 2 tries, the half was well contested with the NHSOB defence constantly pushing back the Bridgend attackers with Aneurin Owen, Josh Farmer and Connor Louth tackling superbly.
The second half was much the same with Bridgend running in two further tries and NHSOB not scoring, despite many good attacks with Peter Davies in particular driving through the Bridgend defence.
The 2nd game was a totally different story with NHSOB taking command from the start scoring four first half tries through Peter Davies (2), Aneurin Owen and James Mundy, the latter after good work from Joseph Perry and Rhodri Chapman.
Bridgend kicked off for the second half and NHSOB showed how much they had learned from the first game as Peter Davies caught the ball on the run and burst through 3 tackles to score a fine individual try.
This was followed up by 3 further tries through Anuerin Owen, Connor Louth and NHSOB Man of the Match Nicholas Williams who capped a fine game in the tight by bursting through to score.
Bridgend looked to rally, but NHSOB had the final say when Peter Davies made another fine break and passed to Callum Oliver who fed Aneurin Owen to run in the final score.
NHSOB Under 9’s Squad for the game against Bridgend Athletic:
Rhodri Chapman, Peter Davies, Lewis Everett, Josh Farmer, Taylor Kidd, Connor Louth, James Mundy, Callum Oliver, Aneurin Owen (Captain), Joseph Perry, Callum Price, Sam Steed, Nicholas Williams.
