TREFIL RFC 22 POINTS BEAUFORT RFC 15 POINTS
Beaufort's winning streak came to an abrupt end against local rivals Trefil who outscored the visitors 3 tries to 2 in a less than inspiring league contest. It was a serious case of Beaufort under performing particularly in the first half when they had the advantage of the Trefil slope. They suffered a crisis in their line out allowing Trefil to plunder them with consummate ease while a catalogue of handling errors kept them under constant pressure . Both sides missed kickable penalties but towards the end of the first quarter Martin Edwards fired one over to give the home side the lead. On the half hour they scored the first try . Beaufort lost ball in contact and from loose play Trefil's Hartley thundered in for a try seemingly out of nothing . Lewis Hodson kicked a penalty to narrow the gap but almost immediately from the kick off poor communication in the Beaufort defence failed to secure the high ball which bounced conveniently into the arms of Kevin Lewis . Beaufort could only watch in bewilderment as he galloped in for a simple touch down. Edwards slotted over the conversion for a a deserved half time lead of 15 point to 3
It didn't get any better for Beaufort after the break as they struggled to get some shape into their game to chase down the lead When the next score came it was from Trefi's Christian Jones who was the beneficiary of some good work from his forwards enabling him to race in for his side's third try. With Edwards kicking the extra points it looked all over for a hapless Beaufort. But then Beaufort gave a fleeting glimpse of redemption and managed to bring some valuable zest into their attack . Wing Kyle Purnell touch line rumble was finshed off by his scrumhalf John Davies and with ten minutes of game time left Hodson against the run of play intercepted a pass to race the whole length of the field to touch down under the posts.for a simple conversion It was the last score of the encounter which give Beaufort an improbable losing bonus point. Next week Beaufort host Caerleon which promises to be another difficult encounter. While Trefil head off to Blaenavon Forgeside.
