From the match programme:-
"Once again it is our good pleasure to welcome Newport RFC to Pandy Park. Our congratulations go to their skipper Mike Watkins on his outstanding performance in Dublin, Keys fans had no doubt that he was the man for the job and like so many others could say "we told you so" to the rugby world. Keys own reputation in that position like that of the Port is a good one, Welsh caps Fred Bowdler and Con Murphy in the twenties and thirties were followed by Welsh trialists Norman Davies in the forties, Alan Talbot in the sixties and Bobby Windsor in the seventies which brings us to another special in our present hooker Gerry Lewis who must be the best uncapped hooker in the Principality."
"Both Port and Keys were defeated by English opposition on Saturday after putting up creditable performances. Shaun Johnson made his Keys debut at Northhampton on Saturday joining his ex-youth team colleague Courtney Whatley in the black and white strip. Congratulations go to these starlets on fine performances, and also to Derek Church playing his 200th game for the Keys, and Richie Donovan on his 100 appearance in tonights game."
