The Premiership Select squad have won two from two matches in the British and Irish Cup so far after scoring a last minute try from replacement Arwel Robson thanks to break from centre Barney Nightingale. The Dragons PS took away a win of 31-27, at the home of Cross Keys Pandy Park.
Dragons Director of Rugby Lyn Jones, watched the match from the stand at Pandy Park and commented after the match: “The performance was very good especially with so many young players playing.
“It’s a standard of rugby which is one up from the Premiership standard and there are a lot of young boys with ambition which all want to do well, and today was a really good test - they showed good metal by coming back in the dying seconds.
“I felt that lots of the players played well, but it was a collective performance from the Region; Adam Brown and Ashley Sweet including others just to name a few.”
He went on to describe how great it is to be playing the match within the Region: “Pandy Park is a traditional club and there is a lovely atmosphere here and everyone enjoyed themselves. There was a good crowd with good support and with our next game in Ebbw Vale I am sure that it will be same there as well.”
