Just come home from the game (I only live 7 miles down the road so it wasn�t much of an effort!). 

I know it�s a clich�, but it really was a game of two halves. Llanelli 32-0 up (5 tries to nil) half time, Caerphilly being very poor. I�ve never seen a team lose as much possession in 40 mins in my life! Every time Caerphilly went into a tackle/ruck/maul it seemed like we turned it over. Must be said that I though it worth the �8 admission just to see Dai Hodges running 25 meters for Llanelli�s first try! All the backs looked sharp during the first half, Viv Jenkins and Lee Byrne in particular. Hawkins had a very impressive half as well (popping up here there and everywhere). I thought Kevin Jones the tighthead made quite an impact as well.
Second half � Llanelli took their foot off the pedal, and Caerphilly in fairness looked a much more organised team. We brought MacDonald on for Rh Jones and Gravelle on for Hawkins. They won the half 17-3! (Although we played most of the last 15 mins with 13 men due to two players sin binned for silly offsides).

Nice to see Gareth Jenkins and Nigel there � maybe a few of the boys will get their chance sooner rather than later. By the way, never go to Caerphilly starving � not a burger van in sight! But judging from the number of home supporters that turned up I don't think they's have gone thrpugh a pack of 4 burgers even if one had been there.
