Llandovery took the Foster’s National Sevens title from Pontypridd in a scintillating final at the BT sport Cardiff Arms Park.
The Drovers scored five tries to three in a 33-19 victory. With the sides tied 14-14 at half time, Richard Williams, Lee Rees and Rhys Williams all touched down in impressive fashion to help their club claim the first available silverware of the season. Llandovery centre Rhodri Jones also picked up the Colin Hillman Player of the Tournament award.
The pick of a good bunch was the first if those three. From a turn-over on Pontypridd’s 22 metre line, Williams showed good supportive play and twice kicked the ball down field to chase and score, Rhodri Jones converting to take the score to 21-14 two minutes after the break. From that moment, it was an uphill struggle for Ponty and despite pegging back the score to 14-19 with a try for Dale Stuckey, Llandovery had the bit between their teeth.
