Ebbw Vale 22 Neath 6, Premiership, 10/03/18

As the snow brought by the 'Beast from the East' finally melted, it was a good opportunity for the Steelmen to entertain the former Beasts from the Gnoll, although it has to be said that the Welsh All Blacks are a shadow of what they once were.

It was relatively comfortable home win for Ebbw Vale as they continue their good form in the second half of the season.


Tries from Dai Jones and Ronny Kynes put Ebbw 14-0 up at the interval and a bonus point looked there for the taking, but Neath fought much harder after the break. That said Ebbw's solid defence ensured that Neath only had 2 penalties to show for their efforts.

Ebbw did manage one more try, from Toby Fricker, but sadly the bonus point eluded them.
