After enduring a four-game losing streak, Aberavon managed to clinch a 24-13 home victory against Ebbw, thus breaking their dry spell. This win proved to be a much-needed boost for the team, particularly in the wake of their recent defeat to Cardiff at the Arms Park just five days prior. Despite the adverse weather conditions, resulting in the cancellation of several fixtures, Aberavon demonstrated resilience and secured a crucial win.
Coach Hyatt expressed his elation regarding the victory, especially considering the circumstances. He highlighted the challenge of regaining momentum after a break and emphasized the preference for regular playing schedules.
The latter part of the game favoured Aberavon, as evidenced by tries from Jay Baker, Aron Hemmings, and Frankie Jones, in addition to an impressive performance by Cameron Lewis in the initial half. Although Ebbw made a strong start, they failed to maintain their lead and ultimately left the match empty-handed.
Aberavon’s triumph was further distinguished by second row Rhodri Hughes’ 100th appearance for the club. Hyatt praised Hughes for his exceptional display, acknowledging his outstanding performance in the match.
Looking ahead, Hyatt emphasized the importance of maintaining the same level of determination and spirit in the upcoming confrontation against reigning champions Llandovery. While acknowledging the formidable nature of the opposition, he remained optimistic, hoping that Aberavon’s recent triumph would serve as inspiration for an outstanding performance in the upcoming match.
In conclusion, Aberavon’s victory served as a testament to their hard work and determination. As they gear up for future fixtures, the team remains steadfast in their commitment to sustaining their winning momentum.
