| Saracens Captain Bryn Morgan celebrates with teammates |
The Roath-based team have overcome a challenging season, which began
with them losing their first two games – the second, against Llanrumney, with a
final score of 109-10. The team have since upped their game to win all 10 of
their remaining matches and this final match saw the Saracens starting and
finishing strong. They scored the first try of the game within just one minute
of the kick-off. They then converted this and then went on to score 12 more
times, converting all but one try, and winning by a decisive 84 points.
This is the first time the Saracens have won that division and,
after coming fifth last year, it’s a massive boost for the club.
Team Captain, Bryn Morgan, said: “It’s a great feeling to win the league
title. This is our first promotion since I joined the team and a massive
victory for the boys, who have all worked really hard to get to this point.
After we lost to Llanrumney by nearly 100 points in our second game of the
season, the team could have felt defeated. But we came back fighting and it
actually brought us closer as a squad and meant that we were even more
determined to prove ourselves.
“We’ve had a much bigger team this year than we’ve ever had before – and
we’ve even been able to put out a second squad, which is brilliant. We’d like
to dedicate our victory to all our supporters. Saracens is a really social club
and it’s great to have the support of people turning up every match to cheer us
on.”
