Preview 11 February 2012 - Rhiwbina v Penarth
5th February 2012
SEASIDERS WAIT OVER
Penarth have had three weeks to mull over the nature of their latest defeat where they all-too-explicably managed to surrender a 10-point lead against Pentyrch at the Athletic Field on 21st January. After a couple of weekends off featuring the SWALEC Plate and the opening round of the 2012 Six Nations, they can now test the quality of their preparation against one of the leading clubs in the division.
North Cardiff side Rhiwbina are currently sitting in eighth place and out of the title running, as they trail leaders Llanishen by 14 points. They hit a rich seam of form back in the early autumn with six matches undefeated, among which was a 34-17 win at the Athletic Field. This followed the settled tactical approach to the game this season in that the Seasiders were competitive for the first hour and then leaked tries in the final quarter.
Since then, the Squirrels have enjoyed mixed fortunes, although recent form suggests they might have recovered, as their last outing was a no doubt satisfying 25-0 dismissal of second-placed St Peters.
The Seasiders, meanwhile, have continued their curious meanderings through the 2011-12 season, culminating in the disappointment of that 13-15 defeat against Pentyrch, where so much more was promised as a strong-looking starting XV would surely have wrapped the game up if they’d lasted the full eighty minutes
Hopefully a similarly composed and motivated line-up can put a dent in Rhiwbina’s home record.
