00:12What a beautiful day for rugby though, isn't it?
00:14It is, yes.
00:14And what a great pitch.
00:15Yeah, not bad at all.
00:17Lovely venue.
00:18What's it like watching your two grandsons play?
00:22Well...
00:24Do you give him any tips?
00:26No, I let him play the game.
00:30But it's great that the Morris family is so linked to the contributing team.
00:36Well...
00:36We started it off, Clyde, didn't we?
00:38Yes, aye.
00:39Yes, aye.
00:42They were playing.
00:43You were playing for Cougar.
00:46And I finished with Neath and I thought, oh, we'll start a team off in the village.
00:50Yeah, we formed a side from the village.
00:52Yeah.
00:53And I enjoyed my dealt with.
00:55Yeah, I think you had massive work.
00:57Yeah.
00:58But Clive, he doesn't miss a game, does he?
01:00No.
01:00In the first couple of seasons we started, in those days you'd average 35-38 games a season.
01:06And lucky if he could miss one, it was a miracle, you know.
01:10He just went on and on and on.
01:11But he doesn't miss a game now, either?
01:13No.
01:13No, no, no.
01:14He follows Rick Ross everywhere.
01:15Yeah.
01:16Home and away and he watches his grandsons play.
01:20But when they weren't playing and he was still there watching, you know, he's for the love of the team.
01:25Yeah.
01:26Yeah, yeah.
01:26Just tell me about the cup run then, Clive.
01:28What's it been like?
01:29Oh, every game's been a difficult game.
01:32We've certainly enjoyed it.
01:33Particularly the quarter-final last, the Fortnite back against Gandify.
01:37It was a really excellent day there.
01:39They were really well supported.
01:42And the game was fiercely contested, you know.
01:4412-15 win for us, but they could have gone either way in tennis.
01:49They were very good.
01:50We enjoyed the victory, of course, as you'd expect, to the winner of the Spoilspace.
01:55What would it mean to the village to get to Prince-Rourke State?
01:58Oh, huge.
01:58Huge.
01:59Incredible for us.
02:01We've got buses to go to the semi, so if we ever got to the final, I wouldn't like to
02:07think of it.
02:07The village BNT.
