Division One North: Caernarfon 34 Llandudno 27
Sep 13 2010 by Our Correspondent, Daily Post
LLANDUDNO were denied a memorable result at Y Morfa as a last-ditch try from Dylan Gwyn Owen gave Caernarfon a 34-27 victory.
With Llandudno pressing on the Cofis’ line, a mix-up between two players saw the ball spilled forward and Caernarfon needed no second invitation as the ball was moved through the hands for Owen to finish off under the posts and seal a late dramatic win.
Cofis coach Ieuan Jones was happy having seen his side comeback, but was less than impressed with the officiating.
“Last week at Nant we had a great referee, he was strict, but very fair and he let the game flow,” said Jones. “I’m sorry to say, but the refereeing was very poor on Saturday. There were two red cards handed out which were unbelievable, and I’d honestly have to say he got about 60% of decisions wrong for both sides.
“If we had lost you’d say it was sour grapes, but we won and I’m still disappointed because we tell the players to go out and enjoy the game, but there was no way you could enjoy that kind of a game, even though we won in the end.”
Winger James Gregson crossed for a brace of tries, while fellow wideman Will Varley went over as well, with Rhodri Carlton Jones converting all three and adding two penalties.
Caernarfon’s reply came from Dafydd Roberts, Owen, Lance Owen and Rhys Evans, all converted by Kelvin Morris, who also added two penalties of his own.
