Those wins have moved them to within 10 points of Division 3 West Central A leaders Birchgrove, who Porthcawl beat 13-3 earlier in the month, with two games in hand. A league and cup double is very much on the cards if the Seaweeds can continue their recent run of form.
Their only loss this season came in a game at Pyle on 30 December, but this year they have strung together 12 straight wins to take them to the verge of the greatest season in the club’s 138 year history. History beckons if they can find a way to get past Division 3 West A leaders Pembroke on Sunday.
Having run in 13 tries in the 83-3 demolition of Neath Athletic, they added five more in a 34-13 triumph over Bryncoch and then warmed-up for this weekend with an 87-0 romp against Briton Ferry that contained another 13 tries.
At the heart of the try-fests have been the dynamic centre pairing of Gareth Rees and Jon Phillips, who have scored 13 tries between them. Rees, who raced clear for the match winning score in the semi-final win over Abercwmboi, grabbed a hat-trick in all three matches, while player/coach Phillips helped himself to four tries against Neath Athletic.
The club have already arranged eight busses to take supporters up to Cardiff, with a ninth currently being filled. On top of that the local football and cricket teams, as well as arch-rivals Pyle RFC, and the Prince of Wales pub are running busses to support the Seaweeds.
