Having sealed their title
triumph with a 89-7 away win over Llandybie on Wednesday 8 May the team carried
off the SWALEC title by six points.
The match saw Cwmgors
score 15 tries and 7 conversions, with Cwmgors’ 26-year-old Michael Hodges notching
up two tries to his total of 24 this season, setting a new club record.
Home-team Llandybie only managed
to put seven points on the board which marked the last move of the game before
the full-time whistle was blown.
Cwmgors’ promotion to
Division 4 may see the club expand to offer a youth section next season.

Forwards Coach Chris
Jones said: “We’ve had an outstanding season with total commitment from all of
our players. It’s been a long and hard season and the past few weeks have been
challenging as we’ve had so many away games in a row.”
Backs Coach Barry Morgan
said: “The highlight for us this season was beating Penybanc 18-14 in April. At
half-time we were down 14-0 so we had a serious team talk at half-time and the
boys turned it around in the second half resulting in our win. Cwmgors are all
local boys and we’re so pleased with what we have achieved. We’ve stuck
together and the hard work has really paid off.”
Cwmgors have won all
their matches this season, bar one in March against Cwmtwrch where they drew
8-8. The team has put their success down
to regular training with professional boxer, Chris Jenkins, who is currently
ranked 27th in Great Britain. Since last summer, Chris has put the
team through its paces through circuit training and aerobic fitness.
