Fixture

Bae Dolphins  83  -  15  Mid Wales Kites

In the first home Hub game since the Christmas break for the Dolphins they faced a team based out of Llandrindod that they had met once before at the beginning of the season.

The Dolphins took an early lead, as they reacted better to loose balls and opportunities despite some stout defence from the Kites. As the Kites became more comfortable with ball in hand, they put together some very good periods of play, which ultimately led to them getting a try in the run up to half time. 

The second half was somewhat more balanced, with play moving from one end of the pitch to another. Most of the Dolphins’ tries in the latter part of the game came from individual breaks rather than well structured teamplay, which is testament to the high quality of some of the players in the squad. However, the Kites never gave up and defended well throughout, their persistence payed off in the end as they scored the final try of the match. 

The Kites have struggled to get fixtures throughout the season, and this was perhaps the most telling feature of the match, with the Dolphins showing that little bit more nous and ability under pressure, particularly at the breakdown. Given more experience the Kites will be a formidable team and we look forward to welcoming them back to Plascrug in the future.
