Glasgow Caledonians 45-29 Pontypridd

Glasgow Caledonian Reds staged a stirring second-half fightback to beat Pontypridd after trailing at half-time.

Ponty dominated all the early exchanges and deservedly turned ahead after tries from Gethin Jenkins, Sonny Parker and Paul John.

Glenn Metcalfe claimed Caley's sole first-half try, but a fired-up Reds side scored five tries after the break as stand-off Barry Irving ran the show.

Irving rattled up 25 points, from two tries, six conversions and a penalty, but it was his confident running that turned the game around.

Jon Petrie claimed a brace of tries and Rory Kerr scorched over in stoppage time to seal a great Reds win.


Glasgow Caledonians: Tries: Metcalfe, Kerr, Irving 2, Petrie 2. Cons: Irving 6. Pens: Irving.

Pontypridd: Tries: Parker, John, Jenkins, Colderley. Cons: Davey 2, Graham. Pens: Davey.
