Swansea Uplands 0.
Fishguard and Goodwick 22.
Fishguard and Goodwick maintained their recent momentum with a cracking away win at Swansea Uplands, which brought high praise from veteran centre Huw Evans, who capped a good performance with a solo try.
Seagulls coach Huw Evans said: “The squad is working hard in training and their efforts are paying off. We looked a good side on times and although we missed out on a bonus point, we are pleased to have scored three tries while stopping the Uplands from scoring.”
Swansea Uplands battled hard throughout but Fishguard took a tenth minute lead when young scrum half Alun George landed a penalty after good work up front by Gerwyn Davies, Mark James and Dan Morris.
The Seagulls played tightly into the wind and added a try from Mark George after he received the scoring pass from Matthew Reynolds, with Alun George adding the extras with a well-judged conversion.
It was all Fishguard with the wind at their backs. Perhaps they were a little guilty of over-eagerness at times but they increased their advantage when outside half Huw Evans executed a dummy switch move and sped 30 metres for a solo try which went unconverted.
The final score went to No 8 Dan Charsley from a push-over try at a five-metre scrum. This delighted the Seagulls since the popular New Zealander is returning home this week.
Alun George’s conversion added the icing on the cake as the Seagulls celebrated a very good away win.
Fishguard and Goodwick: Andrew Gittings, Adam Reynolds, Matthew Reynolds, Steve Jenkins, Matthew George, Huw Evans, Alun George, Dan Morris, Mark James, Gerwyn Davies, Andrew Merry, Gwilym Evans, Mark George, Simon James (Capt), Dan Charsley. Replacements: Richard Hunter, Nathan Jenkins.
