THERE were only two games played in Division One North this weekend, with second-placed Caernarfon taking advantage of league leaders Nant Conwy playing in the Swalec Plate to draw level on points after a 30-5 home win over Llangefni.
The visitors took an early lead with a pushover try credited to scrum-half Rob Evans. The home side reduced the arrears with a penalty by outside- half Kelfyn Morris before a try from full-back Lance Owen gave the home side an 8-5 half-time advantage.
The home side managed three second-half tries to claim maximum points through hooker Liam Leung, No 8 Rhys Evans and an injury-time touchdown from wing Dylan Gwyn, with outside-half Morris adding a further penalty and two conversions.
Third-placed Mold kept in touch with a 34-12 home win over Colwyn Bay. They also collected maximum points through tries from second-row Pat Hughes and a hat-trick from flanker Oliver Platt. All four were converted by centre Dan Edmunds, who also kicked over a penalty.
Only two games survived in Division Two North. Machynlleth won the Mid Wales clash at home to Newtown 26-17, with tries from No 8 Dorian Lloyd, centre Jonathon Davies and two from flanker Rhys Lewis, outside- half Iwan Jones adding three conversions.
The visitors’ points came from a try apiece for wing Dan Harries and prop Darren Evans, with outside-half Rowan Meek kicking the extras.
