First Away Win - Birchgrove
September 23rd, 2007 by ColinD Posted in Club News, Game Results | 1 Comment »We played Birchgrove on Saturday and we came out 25-15 winners.
This was the first away win this season, and if you look at past results we have always found it tough up in Birchgrove. This was no different Saturday. What made the win more pleaseing was the fact we were twice reduced to 14 men and still managed to keep a grip on the game.
Ryan ‘Llewi’ Edwards was spot on with his place kicking. knocking over 6 penalty kicks and converting Phil Griffiths try.
Birchgrove got 2 tries 1 conversion and 1 penalty.
Bryan Downey was named man of the match. This was an excellent performance and i think the boys should be proud.
Later that night we all went out to Swansea to celebrate Bryan Downey’s last 2 weeks of freedom before he and NIa tie the knot, and i think everyone had a good night, by the way has anyone seen Bryan?
