Clay Shaw Butler back Carmarthenshire Warriors

 

The Carmarthenshire Warriors invitation sevens rugby team has a new backer in the shape of West Wales chartered accountants and business consultants Clay Shaw Butler.
The team proudly sported their new Clay Shaw Butler tops at the West Country Sevens at Keynsham RFC.
The event saw the Warriors make it through to their fifth final in five tournaments.
“We are delighted to be playing our part in supporting the Warriors,” said Clay Shaw Butler director David Butler.
“Sevens rugby is a sport with a massive future - in fact, it will feature in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.”
At the West Country Sevens, skipper Arwel Davies took a strong squad to what was the second Super Sevens Series round of 2011. The Warriors also entered their development side, the Flamingos, in the Men's Open competition
The Warriors coasted through the group phase with wins over the Mavericks, Olurun Phantoms and PA Trust. Andrew Jones (Newcastle Emlyn) and Wil Davies (Whitland) made their 2011 debuts with Jones crossing for a try against the Phantoms.
The Flamingos - featuring newcomers Ifan Beynon (Aberystwyth) and Johnny Morgan (Narberth) were impressive in appalling weather conditions against the military side PWRR, bristling with South Sea Islanders.
Rhys Goslin, Paul Mason (Carmarthen Athletic) and Lee Pearson, scoring his first try for the Carmarthenshire outfit, assisted in the 33-0 rout.
Another victory against Eggcatchers but a defeat to Glantaf Goats sent the Flamingoes into the Bowl competition where they unfortunately crashed out 33-0 to the Stash Sharks.
Again, veterans Barry John and Jamie Williams (both Carmarthen Athletic) led by example alongside promising Llandovery College youngsters Jack Thorburn and Scott Maynard.
The Warriors progressed to a semi final against strongly fancied side P.O.D, overcoming the Godfathers in the quarter final.
The semi proved to be a classic taken to 'Golden Try' extra time following a fantastic solo effort by Rhys Lewis.
With just a few minutes of added time played, former Ystradgynlais and now Carmarthen Quins scrum half Ryan Jones fed Ystalyfera's Gareth James who broke down the left and crossed in the corner and seal another major final appearance for the Warriors.
Unfortunately, the Smith's Shotguns were too strong for the West Wales outfit outscoring them by 5 tries to two.
Skipper Davies said: “We're obviously disappointed. However, the Shotguns are by far the strongest side we've met this season and we shouldn't be too disheartened'
“Players such as Rhys Lewis, Rhodri Davies, Rhys Thomas and Ellis Lloyd are really getting themselves noticed amongst the Warriors core players like Gareth James and Andrew Jenkins. With Andrew Jones returning and the likes of Tom James, and Ricky Thomas also part of the squad, we really have some quality strength in depth.”
