Gogledd Cymru came out convincing winners against Welsh Exiles yesterday at Newtown. The exciting back three of Dave Carter, Ryan Parry and Connor Kendrick touched down for a try each, while looking dangerous every time they touched the ball. Centre Tom Astbury scored 14 points with a try, penalty and two conversions. Hooker and captain Dewi Bowen completing the scoring. The front row of Jordan Jones, Dewi Bowen and Dan Owen worked tirelessly, while the backrow of Dafydd Parry, Josh Roberts, Richard Roberts carried strongly and defended aggressively.
A fitting end to a very successful season of Provincial rugby!

Last game of the season and another emphatic win for Bethesda following last week’s championship winning result at Machynlleth. Machynlleth arrived short of players and the game was played with uncontested scrums but to their credit they turned up to a very difficult away fixture. Gareth Wyn got the scoring going with a try after 11 minutes converted by Parry 2 minutes on Centre David Thomos crossed the try line Converted again by Parry. Top try scorer flanker Dylan Hughes added to his collection on 16 minutes Wing Iwan Hywel added the 4 try, on 31 minutes Centre Cameron Moore got his name on the score sheet Parry with the minor, Dylan Hughes made it a pair on 37 minutes Half time 46-0 to Bethesda. Machynlleth were picking up injures and were down to 13 men when Steve Roberts crashed over, Mathew parry collected a pair on the 7th and 12th minute. Machynlleth for their efforts rallied for a while and had a penalty attempt going wide and came close to a try. Bethesda were determined to keep the visitors at bay and regained their scoring touch when on 21 minutes David Thomos added his second on 28 minutes Dylan Hughes made it 16 tries for the season Wing Gwyn Hughes collected his second on 33 minutes that was the 14 try in a one way encounter Referee John Roberts brought the game to an premature end but there was no trophy for the champions that would have made the day complete. It’s been an excellent season for the Dyffryn Ogwen side they have remained unbeaten away all season reached the quarter final of the SWALEC Plate losing only once in the league. Next season will bring a totally different challenge and hopefully Bethesda can step up to the mark.

10.05.10 RHYL WIN TENSE FINAL
Rhyl 1st 18 v Bala 10
The Dragons won the North Wales plate cup final at Bangor on Saturday against Bala in a tense and hard fought game.
Having beaten two Division 1 sides to get to the final, Rhyl were in a confident mood, however the first half was a disappointing affair with a nervous Dragons side not able to play the high tempo, entertaining rugby that has become a trademark of this season and ended the first period trailing 3-0 to a solitary Bala penalty.
Some stern words from coach Jim Waring and a change in the pack soon reaped dividends early in the second half, when, after a period of pressure, young second row Richie Nelson scored a superb individual try. This gave the Dragons the lift they needed and a penalty from full back Adam Kirby and two classic wingers trys from Stu Fell Crook put Rhyl into an 18-3 lead. Despite a late consolation score from a dogged Bala team to leave a final score of 18-10,
This young Rhyl side gained the win that the massive efforts of the players and coaching staff over the last few years richly deserved. Dinner and Dance saturday to celebrate a real good season.
With the clubs youth side also proving so successful under the guidance of Phil Blakoe the next few years look promising indeed for this young squad, with promotion next season the next target.
RHYL YOUTH WILL BE PLAYING AT HOME THIS SATURDAY
kick of 2.30 15th May
They will be playing in the semi - final of the Welsh Cup against last years Welsh Champions Bridgend Athletic having already beaten the Scarlets Champions in the Quarter Final on Friday.
Try and come and support our young youth team. If they win they will be playing in the Millennium stadium in the Final.
So a good game Saturday and then off to the Dinner and Dance to celebrate a real good season.

NORTH WALES RUGBY CHAMPIONS
On a dry afternoon, a hard surface and Nant’s last league match of the season, Nant required a bonus point victory to become the division 1 North Champions for the second year in succession. Apart from the first 5 minutes, the visitors were in complete control. After 7 minutes, the Ruthin pack were pushed back over their own try line and Carwyn touched down. Llywarch converted the first of his six very successful conversion attempts.
Nat then went on to score at regular intervals with the no.5, Dewi, powering through the defence to touch down a quarter of the way through the match. Five minutes before the half time whistle, Llywarch broke clinically through the Ruthin defence and scored by the posts. A score of 21 – 0 at half time then when the news arrived from Caernarfon that they had scored four tries during the first half there.
Exactly a minute into the second half and the bonus point arrived when Ifan scored on the left wing when the defence had been drawn to the right wing. An excellent conversion this time. Ten minutes later, Rhys scored over on the right wing and this turned out to be Llywrach’s only missed conversion. Grant then did his usual run at speed from the back and completed a flowing move with a try with 10 minutes left. Two minutes after the re-start, Osian wriggled his way over from the base of a scrum to touch down.
Nant relaxed a bit then with the Championship won and to the home team’s credit they continued to play well. They were awarded a consolation try, scored by Clwyd Williams, with the last move of the match and season after 44 minutes play.
A huge roar could be heard from a distance at the final whistle and congratulations are sent to all players in the Nant squad, the hard working Coaches and all who have been involved in the success. A Season to remember indeed!

3.5.10 Cofis lift North Wales Cup --DPost report
North Wales Cup final: Caernarfon 46 Pwllheli 15
May 3 2010 by Rob Griffiths, Daily Post
CAERNARFON completed the first half of league and cup double yesterday as they claimed a convincing 46-15 win over Pwllheli to lift the North Wales Cup.
The Cofis were never behind in the final, played at Bangor’s Cae Milltir, running in six tries with man of the match No8 Rhys Evans notching a hat-trick.
Caernarfon now head into next Saturday’s final Division One North match of the season knowing they need a bonus point at home against Bro Ffestiniog and hope that Nant Conwy don’t claim a winning bonus point at Ruthin to claim the title.
But for now Cofis head coach Ieuan Jones is just enjoying lifting the cup.
“We were saying let’s just concentrate on today,” he said. “It’s all about cup rugby and what happens on the day and we haven’t got to worry about bonus points or anything like that, we’d have been happy with the one point win.
“I think Liam (Leung) had a fantastic game, I thought he was unlucky not to get the man of the match award. Rhys (Evans) is a class player as I’ve always said, but you need players to do the spade work for you. It’s nice playing out in the back-row and getting all the glory, but you need players in the engine room to do all the work.
“I was just very pleased for everyone at the club, we’ve worked hard for the last 10 years to set up a good structure with people working hard at junior and all levels and we’ve got players coming through and it makes such a difference. If we win the league next season I can retire a happy man.”
Caernarfon came quickly out of the blocks and were ahead inside seven minutes as No8 Evans came up with the ball following a well worked driving maul.
Dylan Gwyn added a second try almost immediately from the re-start following a barnstorming run by Leung, both of which converted by Kelvin Morris, before Evans added his second on 18 minutes, Morris again slotting over the extras.
Pwllheli hit back with two tries of their own through Gethin Roberts and Rhodri Scott (both of which unconverted), before Morris added a penalty to restore Caernarfon’s advantage.
And it got better for the Cofis two minutes after the interval as Rhodri Owen dived over off the back of a ruck.
Morris converted and then slotted over the extras to his own score after throwing a dummy and running through a tiring Pwll defence.
Evans completed his hat-trick with 15 minutes remaining, but Caernarfon were reduced to 14-man for the remainder of the game after Mark Vaughan was shown a harsh red card by referee Huw David for a late and high hit on fly-half Dylan Llyr.
Pwllheli’s Dafydd Myrddin crossed for a try late in the game, before Morris kicked a second penalty to put the icing on the cake.
Jones added: “I think we controlled the game very well and we stuck to our game plan very well, and had a very good first 20 minutes which maybe knocked the stuffing out of them. But fair play to Pwllheli, they stuck to it and they forced us into some mistakes and game back into the game with a couple of very good tries.
“We started the second half with the same kind of spark and overall I’m just very pleased. As a coach when things you do on the training pitch work on the field then it’s a bit of a coach’s dream.
“Pwllheli dug deep and gave us a good game. Their hooker Dafydd (Myrddin) and Dylan (Llyr) their fly-half both had really good games, but I think we just had too much fire power for them on the day.
“I thought Mark (Vaughan) was very unlucky, I asked the ref and he said he has caught the player but it was not an intentional one, but he has caught him and if it was then that’s fine, we have to accept it.
“It does take the gloss of it slightly, because Mark was absolutely gutted, he said he was sorry and he did try go in for him, but that the player ducked and he caught him high. He’s gutted, he didn’t mean to catch him high.”
