04.10.09 Bethesda 29 Wrexham 6
Wrexham were the visitors to Dol Dafydd on Saturday and it was the visitors that started the strongest putting Bethesda under pressure but a spilled ball gave Bethesda possession deep in their own half an excellent pick up and a strong run saw an excellent pass put flanker Arwyn Griffiths in space to sprint in under the post from 40 meters conversion by Parry. Wrexham were soon back in the game a minute later reduced the arrears with a penalty. The Bethesda scrum was solid and gave the visiting pack a torrid time. There was no more scoring till the34 minute when Wrexham reduced the arrears further with another penalty to make the score 7 points to 6. From more scrum pressure No 8 James Roberts touched down Half Time Bethesda 12 Wrexham 6. Mathew Parry operating from No9 in his first game for a month broke on the blind and thru a perfect dummy to score an excellent try. Wing Gareth Edwards was next to touch down when he collected a difficult pass to score. He repeated the feat with 5 minutes to go this time making the conversion easier for Parry. A satisfactory result and for the second week kept their defensive line intact. The next 3 weeks will not be so easy with an away trip to Aberaeron this Saturday them away to Rhyl and home to Bala before the break for the autumn internationals.
