Builth win thriller after rocky start to the season
Builth Wells produced a stirring comeback as they bounced back from cup disappointment and returned to winning ways in the WRU Division One West Central.
It has been an up and down start for the Bulls in the league this season - and they went out on the road to fellow strugglers Skewen on Saturday.
They bounced back from a disappointing start to the game to secure a memorable away victory.
In a tough opening quarter, it was the home side who raced away into an early lead.
With just 17 minutes on the clock they were 22-0 up and very much in a commanding lead.
However, the Bulls did find a response as Ciaran Price found a way over the try line to crucially get them on the board for the first time.
Momentum began to swing in the game - and they were very much back in the game by half time.
Rhys Davies and Evan Dyke both went over, with Davies converting both tries to put them right back in the game.
Early in the second half they were dealt a blow as Price was handed a yellow card - acting as a boost for he home side.
They took advantage as hey again went over for another try to increase their lead to 29-19.
However, from that point on it as the Bulls who wrestled back the initiative and took control of the contest.
A much improved scrum and lineout provider territory and momentum for the visitors and their sustained pressure told when Deri Mason went over the tryline and Davies converted again, before further scores allowed them to go on and win the game.
