Skewen v Maesteg Match Report

On Saturday the 30th of January Skewen welcomed Maestegto Tennant Park. Our last encounter at the Old Parish was as tough a game as we have had this season. With Maesteg working their way up the table a tough game was expected.

Maesteg started well with an early converted try.0-7 

To make things even worse Skewen lost Captain Ed Price early in the first half with an ankle injury.

Skewen were able to close the gap with a classic sniping break and 30-40 yd run by scrum half James Ball for a try. 5-7

Despite having a greater share of possession and territory and possession chasing the game led to a number of errors and Skewen were unable to add to their score in the first half. . Indeed the only other score of the half was a Maesteg penalty.
