Just a line to thank you for your hospitality yesterday and to wish you all the best for the rest of the campaign.

Your match report is very fair - in fact we do recognise that we had the rub of the green and that we beat a very good team.

'Look forward to meeting you again in the not too distant future - hopefully in Division 3 next season!

Thanks for your visit to our site and board and your comments.

Your team is to be congratulated on its resilience and belief and it shows why you are deservedly top. Our games have been excellent affairs over the last two seasons and we hope that we can repeat the fixture in Division Three next season. It looks as if you'll definitely be there now, so well done and we hope to join you though we've a few tough battles ahead yet.

All the best.

Although disappointed as an Aber supporter I thought the game, as mentioned in the match report, was a great credit to both sides and to the game of rugby union.
Congratulations to both teams

Although still gutted by the final result on Saturday I would like to congratulate Gwernyfed on their win. Two matches and two results that went against us by the odd point...... but thats what the game of rugby is all about.

Its up to the team to now show their resolve and come back with all guns blazing as the second promotion place is still to be played for and there's still a long road ahead of us this season.

There seems little to say about the match after such a good and well balanced report.
It's obviously important to bounce back this Saturday with a bonus point win. At the end of the season should we gain promotion this defeat will not mean very much because we will have achieved our overall goal.

The team and coaches can be proud of their efforts last Saturday.

Without getting overconfident our side is the best in this division.

C'mon Aber let's prove ourselves with ten games to go.

Hi Graham
I would agree with your comments about us being the better side on that day, but overall through the season i believe the that you would have to give gwenyfred credit as to go 11 points clear at this stage speaks volumes. As i'm in a lucky postion to run the line that was clearly the best 80mins of rugby since our re-entry into the league system, and with the squard we have at present and the influx from the youth next year it bodes well for the future

Hi Steve, I must agree that Gwernyfed's consistency must be applauded, and that it was the best quality rugby I also have seen this season.

I still feel however ( I know I'm biased ) that if we were to play Gwernyfed
half a dozen times on a neutral venue we would win most of them.
