25.10.09 Report Provincial Gogledd Cymru West v Gogledd Cymru South
Sunday 25th October saw the second game of the provincial series with the South taking on the West at Bangor RFC. Despite the squads being depleted due to illness, all 3 ages showed a massive improvement from the first game against the East. The U12’s struggled against a much larger West team, but showed glimpses of their potential with tries from Blayne Robinson (Newtown) and Andrew Williams (Bro Ffestiniog). The U13 put up a heroic display, with the depleted squad playing the majority of the rugby and always looking in control during the game. They gave their all to the cause, but with the West able to bring on so many fresh players, they were able to score at the very end to make the score 26-27 to the West. The U14 continued their winning streak with a comprehensive 6 tries to 3 win against the West. They showed a massive improvement from their last game, with some great individual performances. Dewi Bowen (Newtown) and Joe Mills (Llanidloes) were back to their rampaging best while Dave Carter (Harlech) looked lethal every time he had the ball.
Next Sunday see’s the U14 take on the best in Wales at the National U14’s 10’s Tournament at Abercynon, but they can travel with plenty of confidence.
