In Ebbw Vale's best display of the season so far, a bonus point victory was recorded over the visitors from Llandovery, normally such a thorn in the side of the Steelmen.
Strong up front, and powerful behind, Ebbw recovered from a poor start to record 2 converted first half tries, the whitewash being crossed by outside half Ethan Phillips and wing Dafydd Thomas, and went into the break 14-7 up.
After the interval, there continued to be a lot of exciting, running rugby played despite the damp conditions. Llandovery led 21-20 at one stage, but tries from wing Euan Rosser and excellent centre Paul King saw Ebbw secure victory and a rare bonus point against the Drovers. It's not often you see an Ebbw Vale team score four tries, without a forward featuring on the scoresheet!
Phillips was named Man of the Match but in truth it could have been any one of 10 players, including Dan Haymond at 15, Lance Randall in the second row, or King amongst others. As the pics show, the players showed their appreciation of the faithful on the 'bank'.
