Gwent maintain pressure on Coleg y Cymoedd

25.09.19 - Newport HS v Coleg Llandrillo - Welsh Schools & Colleges League -

Gwent College made it four wins from four matches in this season’s National Schools & Colleges League as they stayed neck-and-neck with reigning champions Coleg y Cymoedd at the top of the table with a 29-7 win over Gower College.

The visitors simply had no answer to the power of the home pack at Pandy Park and found themselves 17 points adrift at the break and then 29 down before hitting back with a late consolation score.

Flanker Kyle Bailey opened the scoring from a driving line-out 10 minutes into the game and five minutes later Jonny Paynter sped onto a neatly placed kick ahead by Dylan Edwards from a scrum 30 metres out.

Lock Joe Peard then started and finished try number three before the break to extend the lead at Pandy Park to 17 points. Left wing Rocky Barnett ensured a bonus-point with a corner try in the second half and scrum half Kyle Bailey added a fifth.

Gower College finally broke their duck near the end when left wing Willis Wood crossed in the corner for a try which he also converted.

Cardiff & Vale College will attempt to become the first team to beat last season’s runners-up, Coleg Sir Gar, when they host the wast Walians at the Arms Park, while Coleg Llandrillo will hope to retain their unbeaten run at Whitchurch HS

The north Walians have won three and drawn one of their four games to date and have been in blistering form. Whitchurch will be pleased to have the Wales U18 lock Christ Tshuinza back at the heart of their pack after missing the last two games through injury.
