BUILTH Wells manager Chris Offa has moved to relieve the pressure after his side tasted defeat for the first time this season.
A disappointing display at Bridgend Athletic saw Builth Wells crash 9-7 in Swalec Division Two West last weekend.

This weekend sees Loughor travel to the Gro with the Bulls manger keen for his side to return to winnings ways as soon as possible.

“There is no pressure,” said Offa. “The lads have performed brilliantly all season and unfortunately it was just not meant to be at Bridgend.

“They were a decent side but I certainly feel our injury problems had a bearing on the game.

“In any case that game is gone now and the lads must now look ahead to Loughor.”

Loughor are flying high in the league with the Bulls now locked in a three way battle at the top.

“We have had a terrific start to the season and now we must start a winning run all over again,” said Offa.

The Bulls are once again sweating on the fitness of several players.

Rob Mills and Andrew Duggan are struggling to overcome injury.

However full-back John Thurston and scrum-half Geraint Jones are set to return.

“These lads are important to the squad and we hope to get some of them back for Loughor,” said Offa.
