Ebbw were unlucky to come away from a rainy Cardiff Arms Park with nothing on Friday night. A great improvement from the previous week’s disappointing performance saw the Steelmen run the Premiership’s leading team very close before losing 12-3 with only Dan Haymond’s penalty to show for their tremendous efforts.

The Ebbw squad was:
15 Dan Haymond 14 Carwyn Penny 13 Paul King 12 Ethan Phillips 11 Ewan Rosser 10 Dai Langdon 9 Dan Babos
8 Lewis Young 7 Owen Young 6 Dan Hill 5 Ashley Sweet (capt) 4 Lance Randall 3 Rob Sevenoaks 2 Rhys Francis
