LAST-4 AGONY FOR DROVERS

Carmarthen Journal

May 14, 2025

LLANDOVERY'S reign as Welsh club champions is coming to an end.

The Drovers, last season's Premiership title winners, will not claim this year’s Super Rygbi Cymru crown after suffering an agonising defeat to Ebbw Vale in their play-off semi-final.

The Steelmen produced a stunning second-half comeback to win their semi-final at Eugene Cross Park and reach the final.

Having lost out in Premiership league and cup semi-finals last year - including one at the hands of Llandovery - Ebbw were staring down the barrel of another as they trailed the Drovers 21-5 at the break.

But the second period belonged to Ebbw as they overturned that 16-point deficit.

Ebbw head coach Jason Strange returned to his hometown club in December 2021 and, after assessing what was required in the second half of the 2021-22 season, oversaw major surgery at the club - both on and off the field - in the summer of 2022.
