Will Thomas was the player of the tournament at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park, but he was well supported throughout by a squad that had pace everywhere
LLANDOVERY played some magnificent rugby to retain their Fosters National Sevens title at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park yesterday, overwhelming Pontypridd 45-7 in the final.
They were never troubled in accounting for Carmarthen Quins 31-12, Ebbw Vale 47-0 and Cross Keys 35-7 in the earlier knockout rounds before ripping Pontypridd apart with a speed and precision that set them apart.
In Will Thomas they had the player of the tournament, but he was well supported throughout by a squad that had pace everywhere.
Pontypridd had made the final with a 28-17 win over Aberavon, with Rhys Shellard and Dafydd Lockyer to the fore.
The Drovers beat the 2013 champions with an ease that few could have predicted with Aaron Warren flying home with a hat-trick of tries, Ponty’s only reply a try from Shellard.
Fly-half Thomas, their new signing from Cardiff Blues, chipped in with two tries, while North Walian wing Aron Evans(Llangefni) and prop Matthew Jacobs got the others.
Thomas and prop Rhodri Jones kicked five conversions between them and there were major contributions throughout from Lee Rees and Tom Ball.
Meanwhile, Carmarthen Warriors won their seventh Aberaeron title in nine years when they easily beat Ponty Butchers 43-0 in the final at Parc Drefach.
