Treharris Phoenix are
currently flying high in Five South Central and inflicted league leaders
Cambrian Welfare’s only second defeat of the season at the weekend.
Treharris produced a
gritty display to edge out Cambrian 10-8 at home with Lee Munk touching down
while Jamie Evans added the extras and a penalty.
Club Secretary Karl
Edwards believes that if they can continue to produce the goods, Phoenix could
be in line to bag back to back promotions.
“We are very happy
with our season, we had a good win Saturday and the players and coaches really
believe they have it in them to challenge for promotion.”
Phoenix have had a
change at the helm in the off season and Edwards thinks their fresh impetus has
helped the side adjust to life in a higher division.
“Stephen Parry and
Wayne Ford have taken over coaching duties and are doing a great job. We’ve had
one or two lads return to the squad but essentially it is the same group that
took us up last year.”
Edwards admits
Treharris have a number of big matches coming up and hopes a couple of wins
could put them in the driving seat for promotion.
“We have two tough
away matches coming up in the league, travelling to Cefn Coed and Treherbert.
We are the only side to have beaten Treherbert this season, and we follow that
up with a local derby against Ynysowen. If we can notch up wins in those
matches it will be huge for the confidence and belief in the side.”
Next up
Treharris take on Cefn Coed under the lights on Friday 7 February.
