Well there we are. Lots of comments on our website concerning Pooler just missing out on promotion by a wisker. If Dunvant hadnt had a man sent off during the last 15 minutes things may have been different. If Dunvant hadnt been relegated a few days previously they would still have been fighting to stay up. If Tondu hadnt surprisingly played so poor in the second half against Aberavon at home with Aberavon taking full advantage(Tondu up until then had only lost 2 games at home)If Pontypool hadnt finished the season two games in front of Aberavon(which meant that Aberavon knew exactly what to do)If Pooler hadnt let a few trys go begging at home against Blackwood. It just seems that Pooler werent destined to do it yet again. However we must all hope that this season is a catalyst for greater things for Pooler in the future.
We will have to see what decisions will be made by the WRU and what rules will be put in place to protect their favourite clubs in the premier. I still believe that we need more clubs in the premier that the WRU propose. A two tier structure may be the answer as it would give progressive clubs like Pontypool the chance to play against stronger opposition on a regular basis. It does the 1st division no good when top clubs are putting cricket scores on the lesser clubs.
