Friendly
Caldicot RFC 26-10 London Welsh RFC
-------
CALDICOT were delighted to welcome one of the great names of rugby’s amateur era on Saturday (August 18).
London Welsh are an ambitious club who won promotion from Herts/Middlesex One at a canter last year.
Among the visitors to receive a warm Gwent welcome was London Welsh’s honorary president, John Dawes, one of Welsh rugby’s all-time greats.
It was the visitors who put on the early pressure in front of a crowd of more than 300 at Caldicot’s Longfellow Road ground.
Caldicot manager Jordan Bajjada said: “Overall we were pleased but we didn’t get the best start with London Welsh coming out quickly.
“They got an early penalty ad a try which put us under a bit of pressure.”
But as the game progressed the Welsh National Two East side began to dictate.
Caldicot’s first try came from Jack Kedward and scrum half Louis Scimone-Davies kicked a penalty.
A second half break from inside Caldicot’s own half saw Sion Lewis go over for a try after a number of phases.
Another good try in the corner, this time from Sean Roberts put the result beyond doubt.
This weekend, Caldicot have a home friendly against Barry, who finished fifth in Division Two East Central last season.
Kick-off is 2.30pm.
