It was a disappointing start to the season for Ebbw Vale as they went down to defeat against their only Gwent rivals in the new look Indigo Welsh Premiership.
In all honesty, the scoreline flattered the Steelmen a little as they were second best in almost all phases of the game. Endeavour was not lacking but composure, experience and winning the vital 50/50s were.
Ebbw took an early lead through 2 penalties but a 'charge-down' try plus a dubious penalty try meant the home side went in for their half-time 'orange' 22-6 down.
The Vale rallied in the second half and finished the stronger side to pull it back to within a score and secure a losing bonus point, but it was too little too late. On this display, Ebbw have much to think about for the forthcoming season.
