Day before game and no news about the team . Is there any thing on the notice board . Surely the team sheet has gone to printers . Why not tell supporters as well . The way we are playing . Llan probably don't care who we pick . Come on coach give us a Newyear present

Well done boys! We finished the game the stronger and deserved the win.. Lots of players held their hands up.. But Pat James was outstanding .. Hopefully now we have the first W we can go on and get another next week. I'm sure confidence will be high. It has been coming and the coaches must take a lot of credit for the improvement..

That's probably because interest in the game is diminishing cieber. That's across the board. On international days you get loads going for a day out . Lots of women who spend more time looking at the big screen than they do the game. Where are they on Saturday afternoon on the terraces of the club grounds..Club rugby is struggling, although the committee at newbridge have not helped with their lack of personality and narrow thinking which has driven people elsewhere . Although they do their best we need younger people to come through.. although I don't know who will take over from idris, who in all fairness has done his very best.
Anyway let's not digress . Excellent result yesterday . A win will give the boys a massive lift and it was lovely to see them with smiling faces at the final whistle. Same again for tondu... Let's get behind the team because they need our support .
Over to you cieber!! You are the only one who will read this post lol.. We will keep the banter going

NEWBRIDGE 29 LLANHARAN 22 (HT 10-19)
This was a defeat of huge significance to Llanharan against the only side below them in the national championship.
Going into the encounter the Welfare Ground outfit were four points adrift but with a game in hand.
It was a win that lifted the Gwent side to within a point of the Dairymen.
However, the prospect of victory for the visitors loomed large at half time when they led 19-10, their effort and ability paying dividends with three tries in the bag.
Newbridge’s Kieran Meek had put first points on the board with a penalty, and Lewis Blacker got them a try in the midst of what was generally dominant Llanharan play.
But the Dairyfield men were a potent force.
Their first try was a well taken one by wing Rhys Morgan, then a Rory Martin-Smith break ended with Huw Thomas going under the posts.
Finally Josh Austin raced in after Tom Farrah-Evans’s damaging break from his own half.
New outside half Geraint Llewellyn was looking the part, converting two, hitting the upright with a third, and landing a penalty.
However, it was a different story after the turn around, the Llanharan cause not helped by yellow cards and some poor decision making.
Meek pulled back three points, then Nathan Huish was harshly carded for a swinging arm in the tackle.
It gave Meek another three points and the seven man pack then capitulated for a penalty try which with the conversion meant that all of a sudden the basement boys were 23-19 up and scenting victory.
Things got worse for Llanharan when back row man Dafi Davies was carded for foul play, and Meek stretched the lead further, the only opposition response a Llewellyn penalty.
And it doesn’t get any easier for Scott Malone’s men as they travel to Merthyr on Saturday, despite the Ironmen’s heavy home defeat to high flying Bargoed on the weekend.
Inconsistency is a major problem – four losing bonus points in the last six games indicating just what might have been but for costly lapses.
The general feeling among the coaches afterwards was one of sheer frustration, a first forty minutes showing the potential in the young side only for it all to flounder as they seemed to lose sight of the plot in the second half.
And again they outscored the opposition on tries but saw Meek’s immaculate boot make a significant difference.

Happy new year to all newbridge supporters . Great bunch of people who only want the best for our club. To know some of the characters and enjoy the company of so many people has given me great pleasure over the years..
Also When you think of all the fantastic players we have watched playing in the blue and black in years gone by it's been a privilege .
Let's hope for a better 2015 . We go into this period with more optimism and confidence.
Good luck to the players and coaches for the next few months. I'm sure you will do the business.
