The Drovers took their chances to seal a home victory at wet and windy Church Bank, scoring thirteen points in the final quarter. The Rumney forwards dominated most of the game but on the day they had little support behind the scrum. Llandovery's first try came twenty minutes into the half when their left wing Mark Jones collected a chip through from Rumney outside half Simon Davies, rounded three Rumney tacklers and fed centre Rhodri Davies who was tackled close to the line by Jason Fofana but managed to slip the ball to Drovers' full back Ioan Davies who completed the touchdown. Fly half Peter Lloyd added a penalty to give Llandovery an 8-0 half time lead. Playing into the wind in the second half Rumney quickly replied with a try by the outstanding lock Michael Peard, converted by Simon Davies, but Llandovery pulled clear with a further two penalties from Lloyd and a blind side try from replacement scrum half Jamie Roberts.
Dave Escott, Rugby Secretary Rumney RFC : "Rumney had the better forwards by a long way and scrum half Gareth Downes played well but our opportunities in the centre and on the wings were practically non existent".
Graham May, Rumney RFC : "Rumney had better pack and presented the threequarters with adequate possession, but handling errors and wrong decisions nulified the forwards' efforts. The basic difference was the three players on loan from Llanelli who gave the Llandovery back division a bit of bite !"
