It remains perhaps the most extraordinary try scored on a Welsh rugby field in recent years and is leaving viewers open-mouthed to this day.
Bridgend Ravens supporters are not unfamiliar with spectacular moments from a man called Howley.
Rob Howley, after all, scored some unforgettable tries during two spells at the Brewery Field in the 1990s.
But it’s hard to imagine even the ex-Wales and Lions scrum-half crossing for a touchdown as good as the one scored by Edd Howley back in 2021.
It came in the Welsh Premiership Cup pool clash against Swansea at St Helen’s and it secured the Ravens a place in the quarter-finals.
Posting a video clip on social media after the winner-takes-all contest, the club hailed it as a moment of genius.
For sure, it was a score which will be remembered by all who saw it.
With the scores locked at 13-13, Swansea attacked with a low probing kick that full-back Howley ran across to deal with.
But events then took an unexpected turn.
Instead of gathering and maybe running into contact some 65 metres out, the conservative option, Howley hacked the ball high into the air down the touchline with his left boot. A Whites player ran over to cover, only for the ball to bounce back high enough for the onrushing Bridgend No. 15 to jump into the air and head it, soccer style, over the last line of defence.
All that remained was for Howley to safely collect his own nod forward and amble over the Swansea line.
The scored proved decisive as Bridgend ran out 20-13 winners.
Congratulated about the try afterwards and told he had scored a belter, Howley said: "Yeah, won't do it again, let's say."
