Any score updates for tonights game?

After reading the suggest for score update thread i thought id start one.

Firstly, is anyone actually going to this game ? If they are is anyone prepared to sms scores back to someone so it can be stuck on the board?

Milo just texted me: 33 - 5 down and "it's not pretty" apparently.
Couldn't go because of work commitments but not sorry as RP is one of my least favourite grounds (along with all the others!)

Pretty much as expected then. I was fully expecting a fifty pointer, so I'm not going to be too disconcerted.

Didnt expect any difference, still at least we took 3 points off them earlier in the year which hopefully will be crucial in their title chances

Lost 43 - 12 according to BBC

Oh well, Llanharan won but Caerphilly lost..

Still move on quietly and glance over the shoulder to see what's coming up the rails..

COME ON EBB..

Caerphilly losing is good for us, they were putting on a fair spurt.

I'll update the table later when number of tries is on the BBC site but i think that Caerphilly loss could put us safe.

Amazing win for Llanharan (if the BBC is right - for a change). Well done Llanharan. Once again, one of the bottom 3 clubs turns up a surprise. But as String says, Caerphilly losing helps our cause, but Newbridge losing pretty well seals it for them.
We shall see what the table looks like later.

Although it could highlight just how bad Aberavon (who beat us) are at the moment. We still have to play Llanharan.

According to the Newport supporter, we had a prop sent off for headbutting after 10 minutes and finished the game with 12 players on the pitch (but still managed to score a late try).

Life is hard enough already with injury problems, all we need is another Ben Coutts incident to mess it up again. Come on boys, it was only Newport, were they worth getting sent off for?

Hoping to get a full report from one of those who went. Still not a bad scoreline for a 14 (or even 12) man team.

Lyn Williams was sent off in first 10 minutes or so. Think someone reckoned someone gouged him and the next thing he knew the red card came out.

Meant to add it seemed he wasn't really sure why he was sent off!

Cheers for that.

Why were there only 12 on the field at the end? What happened to the other two?
