Llandrindod's 2010/11 campaign in the League got off to a poor start as they were substantially outplayed by an improved Saracens squad. Six tries, two converted, were their reward for their hard running backs whilst Llandrindod could only manage a single try and a penalty. Having said that, Saracens' score would have been substantially greater had their kicker been able to slot over numerous penalty kicks and convert four of the tries.
As for Llandrindod, travelling with a depleted squad never really does anyone any favours, and their weaknesses were shown up with a large number of minor and not so minor injuries resulting in them using up both of their reserves and one of their coaches.
Saracens dominated the first twenty minutes before Llandrindod could start to compete properly and were rewarded with a rare penalty, kicked successfully by Danny Davis. Overall though Saracens were far too strong for Llandrindod in this half, scoring four tries, only one converted, to go in to the second half with a healthy 22-3 lead.
The second half was marginally better for the visitors. With their pack starting to dominate in the set pieces, though not in the loose, they were able to launch a number of forays in to the Saracen half, but could not prevent leaking two further tries, one converted, before putting a semblence of respectability on the score with a good back move, ending with new signing George Jenkins touching down.
Saracen's tries were scored by Rob Scrimshaw, Lloyd Nelson, Nathan Angel(2), Dennis Yearwood and Stuart Barley, with Scrimshaw kicking both conversions.
This weekend, Llandrindod start a sequence of two home games, the first one being a League match against Cardiff-based outfit Caerau Ely.
