Taffs well started life in division 3 south east of the swalec leagues, with a disappointing 22-9 defeat at fairwater. A repeat of last season opener, when they went down to abercwmboi. the first half saw Taffs well take the game to the home side, and three penalty goals from outside half, bleddyn Evans , gave his side a 9-3 lead at the break,  but taffs well fell away during the second period allowing fairwater back into the game. they scored two tries, both from mistakes by the visitors , and slotted over three penalty goals to secure the victory. coaches rob phillips, and steffan edwards will need to work the players hard during the week , with local rivals pentyrch next up, at home on saturday  kick off 2.30 pm. there was good news from the other two teams , although both the seconds ,and youth lost thier respected games , against rhiwbina, and tonyrefail. it was pleasing that the two sides took the field, with a host of players missing, there was a fear they would not be able to put out a side . ian o’leary, the youth team coach, and steven beasley, the second team manager ,  both worked hard during the week to ensure their teams played on saturday.
