He's back after last week's hiatus. Not sure who's maths is better, Gareth's or Chairman Hugh James, as they have both sent me a different score line! Any way take your pick, according to Gareth we scored 70 points, while Hugh makes it 63 points. Here's Gareth's report on the Penygraig game:
Match report – Penygraig 1st October 2022
What a day for Llanharan RFC and what a day for Mr Maple Syrup himself – Scott Jones, who finished the game with a personal tally of 28 points. This is particularly poignant, as this is the total number of points his father (Kevin) scored in 18 seasons with the dairymen.
This was a real test of the strength of the Llanaran squad, with 8 first team regulars out. People have held up their hands in an attempt to be selected and on yesterday’s performance, it will be difficult to drop them.
One person who demanded to be noticed was coach killer Tom Jenkins. He stepped in at very late notice, and stole the limelight. He was abrasive carrying the ball, strong in the tackle, and was his usual, horrible self all through the game.
One player making his first start for the Diarymen, was Lewis Cogbill. This young man is not old enough to drive, so turns up to training on a gambo. He was given an armchair ride by the forwards, and as a result was quick to get the ball away from the base of the ruck, and gave a service to Scott that only bounced twice.
There were 2 very interesting selections this week. Firstly, Stuart Griffiths was selected on the wing where he has shown immense potential. However, after talking to him, I know realize what it must be like when a therapist talks to a lifetime heroine user.
The same cannot be said for Louis Stansbury. This young man definitely lives in a world created especially for him by the producers of children’s entertainment. He is a talented young man, but the door is open and the horse has bolted.
The scorers were as follows-
Scott Jones - 2 trys, 10 conversions
Lloyd Gregory – 2 trys
Jack Thomson – 1 try
Chris Osborne – 1 try, played well, but has the stance of a woman about to be induced
Owain Howe – 2 trys
Ryan Russell – 1 try
Stuart Griffiths – 1 try
Quotes heard after the game
Derreck Cashmore – No Anita, I haven’t caught the pigeon yet
Kevin Jones – I was never very good at Maths. So let me get this right, a “2” in front of an “8” makes twentyty eight. You are having me on, that’s not a real number.
Andy Price on the 6 month anniversary of his Botox injections into his groin stated Ladies, Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me, sadly he isn’t me.
