Cross Keys match rearranged
Ebbw Vale will now play Cross Keys on Sunday, March 21st rather than the day before when the match would have clashed with Wales v Italy. Kick off is set for 2:30 pm at Pandy Park.

Ebbw rue missed kicks and indiscipline
In an exciting game of low quality, Carmarthen Quins emerged victors because they took their chances while Ebbw didn't. Had regular kicker Gareth Bowen not been subsitituted, perhaps the conversion and penalty in the last quarter might have gone over to seal a draw but it was not to be. Ebbw's makeshift pack - tighthead prop Alex Murphy played at number 8, with Mathew WIlliams, Rhys WIlliams, Simon Pengelly, James Thomas and Matthew Griffin injured - competed bravely in the loose but struggled occasionally at scrums.  Matthew Lewis scored a great individual try, showing skill and strength to cross near the posts, but that was a rare bit of three-quarter skill in a game dominated by defence with too much speculative kicking from both sides. For Carmarthen, try scorer Jason Harries and number 8 Sione Timani were the pick of the crop while Gareth Cull was as dependable as ever with the boot. Ebbw seemed to incur the wrath of referee Hugh Watkins who saw fit to send Tristan Mabbutt and Shaun Powell to the in for technical offences, but at least that was one card less than the previous week! The losing bonus gave a sense of some comfort, at least until the news from Pontypool filtered through.

Before the match, there was a minute's silence as a mark of respect to Michael Foot who died, aged 96, on Wednesday. Mr. Foot was Member of Parliament for Ebbw Vale and, later, Blaenau Gwent, from 1960 to 1992 and led the Labour Party in the early 1980s. He was a former Vice President of Ebbw Vale RFC.
