Pentyrch V St. Peter's 1982

Scrum on half way line..... Push over try! Dennis McCarthy and Billy O'Keefe had a smile on their faces for weeks

 

Chris Corsi

Many years ago I was playing scrum half against Whitchurch 2nds away with one of their committee (r)effing (a big fat feller). The 10 yard law at the line out had just come in and the first line out in our 25 the Ref. pulled me for being inside the 10 yards. Dennis Norman was captain playing in the center. Dennis ran in and said to the ref "he's scrum half ref". The ref replied "Is he! then you'll do" and gave the kick smack in front which they duly obliged by slotting it over.

 

Kevin O'Brien I went away with the fourths in about 1990 to Westbury on Severn. The game was an annual fixture and there was always a stop-on on the way home so quite a few of the boys tried to get dropped to the fourths to go on that one. I was picked at outside half that day and it was a lovely September day. I kicked off to start the match - a beauty. The ball was up in the air for ages. Peter Sutton, Lawrence O'Brien, Jo Sweeney etc went flying into the Westbury pack and floored the lot. There were English bodies everywhere. A cracking start to the game I thought. The referee - another Englishman I believe gave a shrill blast on his acme thunderer and called the Rocks pack to order. "Gentlemen!" he ordered, " You're not in the Valleys now. You'll play to the laws of the game! And you... " he instructed pointing at me. "Get the ball. We'll start again!"

Unbelievable. So we started again. Played to the laws of the game occasionally and beat them about 80 odd nil.
