Cwmtawe Sevens - Saturday 14th August 1999

The All Blacks selected a young and fast squad for Wales's most prestigious Sevens Tournament. The Young players acquitted themselves very well, in the Group stages Neath scored 168 points in their three matches.

The quarter finals saw the young All Blacks drawn against old rivals Swansea who included Paul Moriarty and Robert Jones in their squad. The All Blacks ran out comfortable winners 26 - 7 with Luke Richards and Richard Johnson the key players. In the Semi finals Sevens specialists Samurai were beaten 36 -7 with Mark Davies to the fore along with Kevin James and Richard Francis and Steve Tandy. A very experienced Bridgend side ran out comfortable winners against a very tired Neath unit in the final 45 - 12, the All Black scorers were Richard Johnson and Kevin James. Congratulations to the squad for becoming the first Neath squad to reach the final of the Event.
