' This Sundays regional age-grade championship matches see both RGC 1404 sides make the journey south to face the Ospreys. The Under 18's whose game at Llandarcy Academy of Sport kicks off at 2.00pm will be seeking a massive turnaround from the reverse fixture played back in August when the Ospreys ran out 81-7 winners. Since that undoubted low point in their season,the NOrth Walians have shown remarkable improvement to run the Dragons close and defeat the Scarlets. Although disappointed with the manner of their performance in their defeat to the Blues last Sunday,they will be more than hopeful of running the Ospreys a lot closer on this occasion.The only major injury concern for the RGC 1404 side is their leading try-scorer Lewis Barker who will be the subject of a late fitness test.
The RGC 1404 Under 16 side will be playing their fixture against the Ospreys at CORUS RFC,again with a 2:00pm kick off. For the young North Walians this has been a frustrating season as they seek to gain that elusive first victory of the campaign. They will be facing on Sunday an Ospreys side which they ran close back in August and with their squad bolstered by a number of players returning from injury,they too will be confident of delivering a more than competitive performance.'
Many thanks

24.10.2010 UNDER 18 v CARDIFF BLUES -Will Morecombe Reports
RGC 1404 UNDER 18 21 BLUES 46
RGC 1404 Under 18s had gone into this match with their confidence sky-high following their victory in their previous game against the table-topping Scarlets and in the early stages it appeared as if this confidence might not be entirely misplaced as they dominated the early precedings and had their efforts rewarded when skipper Alex Schwarz scooted down the blindside to open the scoring after only 6 minutes. Although the Blues struck back,shortly afterwards, with a try of their own from Bradley Thyer, the home sides advantage was extended with a long-range penalty from Dion Jones who had previously converted Schwarz's try. Jones was to add a further 3 pointer before half-time but in spite of his efforts the RGC 1404 side went into the half-time break trailing by 20 points to thirteen as the Blues scored further tries through Ryan Evans and Simon Pring. The Blues extended their lead further shortly after the break as their impressive flanker and skipper Ellis Jenkins crashed over from short-range and he was to score again 5 minutes from time,his efforts sandwiching other Blues tries scored by Rhys Patchell and Jac Hopkins. Although the young North Walians were to have the final word when Lewis Barker scored a good solo try with almost the final play of the game, it was a case of too little,too late. This victory means the Blues go back to the top of the regional age-grade championship,whilst for the RGC 1404 side who remain bottom,albeit only on points difference,it will be a case of looking to get their campaign back on track in next Sundays game away at the Ospreys.

There’s a belief around North Wales this season that any team could beat any other side, especially at home. This was a match that proved that theory right with both teams being as close as the final score throughout. Nant began by pressing constantly and the pack, pushed Eryl, the hooker over for a converted try by Pep after 12 minutes. Nant failed with several threatening moves during the first half and had no further points on the board at half time. Rhodri Carlton-Jones scored a penalty in reply for the home side after 32 minutes to make a half time score of 3-7.
The second half began in a similar fashion to the first one and this time, it was No. 8, Carwyn that scored a try on the left from the base of the scrum. Pep failed with the conversion attempt. From then on, Llandudno came more and more into the game and it was no surprise when their flanker, Lewis Griffith scored a try on the extreme right with five minutes of play left. Rhodri Carlton-Jones had an excellent conversion. Four minutes of added time had been played when Llandudno went in front for the first time when Rhodri Carlton-Jones converted a penalty in front of the posts. One extra minute was played – sufficient time for Nant to be awarded penalty near the centre spot. A massive long kick by Pep drifted just wide to give the home team a win by the narrowest of margins.
Nant’s next match will be a North Wales Cup second round game at home against either Ruthin or Rhyl on the 20th November 2010.

20.10.2010 This Sunday's Regional Age Grade Competition Preview
' This Sundays sees the regional age-grade competition recommence after a 6 week break when the RGC 1404 Under 16 & 18 sides face their counterparts from the Blues region. The Under 18s still bouncing after victory in their last game over the previously unbeaten Scarlets are under no illusions as to the task they face against a Blues side which defeated them by 66 points to 24 at Merthyr in the opening round of the competition. The game which is being played at Eirias Parc,Colwyn Bay, (2:30 KO) sees the RGC 1404 team field the same starting 15 which began the game against the Scarlets, the only change to the squad being the introduction of Ben Baker on the bench. For the Blues there is the added incentive, if any were needed, that if they do go home to South Wales with a victory under their belt,they will return to the top of the table in the competition.
The Under 16 side will face an equally challenging task when they play a Blues North side at Rydal School ( 2.30 KO) that has only lost 1 game previously this season and which defeated them comfortably in the opening round of fixtures back in August. Although the RGC 1404 side are yet to taste victory so far this year,they have come agonisingly close on a number of occasions,most noticeably against the Blues South when they lost with the last play of the game, and they know that with 5 games still to play in the league stage of the competition they still have every chance of making its semi-finals.
For both sides this is the beginning of an incredibly busy 4 week period with the Under 18s having 4 matches and the Under 16s 5 against their regional opponents.'

16.10.2010 Ruthin 17 Nant Conwy 38 John Palmer Reports
A good crowd turned out on a fine day at Caeddol to see this clash between last years league champions Nant Conwy and Ruthin. The Blues were six points up within the first 10 minutes with penalty goals by scrum half Wil Davies. Nant counter attacked forcing Ruthin to concede penalties in defending against Nants strong pack and after opting for a scrum 5 yards from the Blues line the visitors were awarded a penalty try which they converted. Nant continued to cause Ruthin problems in the scrum and after a prolonged period of attack went over for a second try also converted. Ruthin fought back but were unable to convert their pressure into points and at half time the visitors were 14-6 ahead. The second half started like the first with the excellent boot of Wil Davies putting the Blues back in contention with two penalty goals. Veteran replacement prop Wayne Williams came on and scrummaging improved but after a few minutes Williams retired injured and Nant turned up the pressure running in three tries in a period of 10 minutes, one of which was converted. At 31-12 behind the scrums became uncontested and Ruthin turned out some of their best play of the match with replacement Sion T Roberts going over for a try. However Nant had not finished their scoring and went over another try which they converted just before the whistle blew for full time with the final score 38-17. Unlike their previous two defeats against Mold and Caernarfon where one could argue that the scorelines flattered the opposition, the Blues were well beaten in this game against an organised Nant side.

Ar ddiwrnod braf arall dechreuodd y tîm cartref yn bwrpasol gyda Wil Davies , eu rhif 9 yn llwyddiannus gyda dwy gic gosb yn y deng munud cyntaf. Yn wir, o hynny ymlaen, daeth Nant i mewn i’r gêm fwyfwy, a chafwyd cais cosb ar ôl 18 munud yn dilyn cyfnod o bwyso trwm gan y pac. Troswyd yn hawdd gan Pep. Parhawyd i bwyso am weddill yr hanner ond roedd y chwiban am hanner amser yn dynesu, pan fu i Owain dorri’r amddiffyn yn gelfydd a sgorio cais ger y pyst. Troswyd hwn eto gan Pep i wneud sgôr o 6 - 14 ar y chwiban hanner amser.
Bu pum munud cyntaf yr ail hanner yn debyg iawn i ddechrau’r gêm gyda Wil Davies yn llwyddiannus gyda dwy gic gosb arall tros Rhuthun. Unwaith eto, bu i Nant ail afael mewn chwarae graenus ac ar ôl saith symudiad ar y llinell gartref, plymiodd y prop, James drosodd am gais. Methwyd y trosiad i lygad yr haul ond dri chwarter ffordd trwy’r gêm, bu i Owain unwaith eto dorri’n hyfryd i dirio ger y pyst a Pep yn trosi. Y pwynt bonws am bedwar cais wedi’i ennill erbyn hyn. Ar ôl ail ddechrau, bu sawl symudiad arall ar linell Rhuthun. Y tro hwn, Ifan a wasgodd drosodd yn y gornel chwith. Aflwyddiannus fu’r trosiad. Llithrodd safon y chwarae rhywfaint wedi hyn gyda nifer o doriadau bychan ond, mewn ymosodiad prin, bu i Siôn Roberts sgorio cais i Ruthun ond methwyd y trosiad gyda 3 munud yn unig yn weddill. Chwaraewyd y 10 munud olaf gyda sgrymiau llonydd gan nad oedd gan y tîm cartref ddigon o flaenwyr rheng flaen. Serch hynny, o sgrym bum medr, bu i Carwyn gwblhau gêm ardderchog i Nant yn y funud olaf trwy sgorio cais a droswyd gan Pep, ei frawd. Sgôr derfynol o 17 -38 felly.
Dydd Sadwrn nesaf bydd Nant yn chwarae i ffwrdd eto, yn erbyn Llandudno y tro hwn.
On another dry day, the home team began purposefully with Wil Davies, their scrum half, being successful with two penalty attempts during the opening 10 minutes. But, from then on, Nant appeared to move up a gear, and were awarded a penalty try after 18 minutes following continious pressure on the home line by the Nant pack. Pep converted easily. The pressure by Nant continued for the remainder of the half, but the half time whistle was approaching when Owain broke through the defensive line beautifully to touch down by the posts. Pep converted again to make the half time score 6 -14.
The first 5 minutes of the second half was a repeat of the first minutes of the match with Wil Davies successful with another two penalty attempts.. Again, Nant ‘upped a gear’ and after seven phases of play on the home line, it was good to see prop, James plunging over for a try.. The conversion attempt towards the sun was missed but Owain repeated his movement of the first half and touched down by the posts – a try that was converted by Pep.. The bonus point being reached at this stage, then. From the re-start, Nant pressed forward again and, after several phases of play on the try line, it was scrum half, Ifan who squeezed over right in the left corner for an unconverted try. Soon after. The standard of play deteriorated somewhat with several stoppages and the last 10 minutes were played with ‘passive’ scrums as Ruthin did not have enough front row players fit and able to play. Three minutes remained when Sion Roberts went over on the right wing for an unconverted try for Ruthin. On virtually the last play of the match, Carwyn scored a similar try to that of Ruthin when he went over from a scrum and that try was converted by his brother, Pep to make the final score 17 – 38, in a very enjoyable match.
Next Saturday, Nant will play Llandudno away in the league.

Clwb Rygbi Nant Conwy
Sadwrn / Saturday 09.10.2010 Nant Conwy 39 v Dolgellau 10
(Cwpan Gogledd Cymru / North Wales Cup)
Sgorwyr Nant Scorers:
Ceisiau / Tries: Owain Jones(2), AaeronJones (2), Eryl Jones (1) & Ioan Davies (1)
Trosi / Conversions: Peredur Ellis (3)
Cosb / Penalties: Peredur Ellis (1)
Ar ddiwrnod heulog a braf, gwelwyd dau dîm yn ceisio’u gorau i chwarae rygbi deniadol gyda Nant yn mynd 10 - 0 ar y blaen ar ôl 20 munud - cais gan Owain a droswyd gan Pep ac yna cic gosb lwyddiannus gan Pep. O fewn 10 munud i’r hanner, cic gosb i asgellwr Dolgellau, Dion Jones cyn i’r pac wthio’r bachwr Eryl trosodd am gais funud cyn yr hanner i roi sgôr o 15 - 3 ar y chwiban.
Chwaraeodd Dolgellau’n well yn yr ail hanner, ond ar ôl 10 munud arall o chwarae, bu i Nant sgorio dau gais arall trwy Owain eto ac Ioan. Troswyd cais Ioan gan Pep. Sgoriodd Dolgellau gais haeddiannol reit yn y gornel chwith trwy Carwyn Pugh a throswyd gyda chic ardderchog gan Dion Jones eto. Ond, o hynny ymlaen, Nant fu’n ‘rhedeg y sioe’ gydag Aeron yn ennill rhedfa o’i linell ei hung an gicio’r bel ymlaen i dirio’r bel am gais gwych. Trosodd Pep yr ymdrech ac yna, yn yr amser ychwanegol rhyddhawyd y bel ar hyd y llinell ymosod ac aeth Aeron trosodd am ei ail gais yn y gornel chwith i wneud sgôr derfynol o 39 -10.
Dydd Sadwrn nesaf bydd Nant yn chwarae i ffwrdd yn erbyn Rhuthun yn y gynghrair.
On an sunny and dry day, two teams trying to play excellent rugby were evident with Nant going 10 – 0 ahead after 20 minutes following a try by Owain, converted by Pep and a successful penalty kick by Pep. Within 10 minutes to half time, the Dolgellau winger, Dion Jones, was successful with a penalty kick before the Nant pack pushed the hooker, Eryl over for an unconverted try just before the break. A score of 15 – 3 at half time then.
Dolgellau played better in the second half, but it was Nant who scored two further tries in the first 10 minutes of the half through Owain again and Ioan; the latter try being converted by Pep. Three quarters of the way through the match, Dolgellau scored a deserved try right in the left hand corner which was beautifully converted by Dion Jones. The try scorer was Carwyn Pugh. From then on, Nant were ‘running the show. With only five minutes remaining, Dolgellau were pressurising when the ball broke loose in the Nant 22 when Tom kicked the ball upfield. Winger Aeron, showed a turn of speed leaving three fast running opponents in his wake to touch the ball down for a try that was converted by Pap. Only a minute remained of the match when Aeron again squeezed over for an unconverted try in the left corner after the ball had been passed all along the back line from right to left.
Next Saturday, Nant will return to league action and will play Ruthin away.

Gogledd Cymru U15’s 10- 15 Newport Schools U15’s
For the second game running North Wales can feel proud of their commitment but frustrated that they didn’t come away with a win. The North Wales side were dominant in most areas but were guilty of lacking composure in vital areas of the field. They started strongly with Joe Mills once again getting over the gain line. This initial pressure led to a Tom Williams penalty, but should have resulted in more if Jamie Jones had been able to hold on to the ball with the try line begging.
Newport began to exert their own pressure and this told when they scored their first try of the game. They then extended their lead to make the score 3-12 to Newport thanks to some poor decision making by Gogledd.
Gogledd Cymru fought back and were rewarded with their own score thanks to Josh Roberts, Morgan Williams converting.
With the score 10-13 to Newport and the game finally balanced once again Gogledd Cymru were guilty of trying to run out of their own 22. The result was a penalty to Newport which made the final score 10-15 to the visitors.
With a little more structure and the same amount of commitment, I’m sure the boys can go from gallant losers to convincing winners.

08.10.10 SWALEC CUP DRAW
SWALEC BOWL PREVIEW
The SWALEC Bowl for clubs in Divisions Four, Five, Six and North begins on Saturday with 39 ties taking place across the length and breadth of Wales from Abergele in the north down to Pembroke in west Wales.
Amman United have made a strong start to the league season with five straight victories to top Four West and they will be confident of making progress when they entertain Five West's Bynea who only have one league victory to date.
There is an all-Five East clash at Bettws who welcome high-flying Ynysddu to Ty Coed Fields and, as the Newport-based side are unbeaten from four starts, they will be looking to make home advantage count.
Aberbargoed of Six East could cause a surprise when they host a Pontllanfraith outfit yet to register a victory in Five East, while Trefil, also of Six East and who have been beaten only once this season, should account for a Hartridge side that has conceded over 100 league points in Five East.
There are several north Wales derbies with Bangor visiting an Abergele outfit that already has a 39-3 victory over their visitors in Two North this season, and Rhyl travelling to Wrexham with both sides having made indifferent league starts.
An all-Five South Central clash sees Pontycymmer entertain South Wales Police for the second Saturday in succession having already won last week's league match at Lawrence Park, 27-13.
Rhiwbina of Four South East make the short trip to Cwrt-yr-Vil to take on Five South East's Old Penarthians with both sides having started the season in good form. The Squirrels will be hoping to make progress by preserving their unbeaten away record.

Clwb Rygbi Nant Conwy
Sadwrn / Saturday 02.10.10 Nant Conwy 24 v Yr Wyddgrug / Mold 26
Sgorwyr Nant Scorers:
Ceisiau / Tries: Eryl Jones, Ifan Jones, Aaeron Jones, Arwyn Owen
Trosi / Conversions: Peredur Ellis (2)
Yn 10 munud cyntaf y gem aeth Yr Wyddgrug ar y blaen gyda dwy chic gosb lwyddiannus gan Steve Quinton. Ymatebodd Eryl gyda chais ar ol i'r pac wthio tros y llinell ar y chwater. Troswyd gan Pep. Cerdyn coch i James ar ol ymateb i benelin yn ei wyneb a Nant i lawr i 14 dyn. Cais cyntaf yr ymwelwyr ar ol 24 munud gan James Kirby a chic gosb arall gan S. Quinton i wneud y sgor yn 7 - 14. Ond, daeth Nant yn ol gyda chais hyfryd gan Ifan i wneud sgor o 12 - 14 ar yr hanner. Pwysodd Nant yn gryf o'r ail gychwyn gan sgorio dau gais (Aaeron a Chink) gyda Pep yn trosi'r ail i wneud y sgor yn 24 -14 ar ol 10 munud o'r hanner. Cerdyn melyn i chwaraeawr o'r ddwy ochr wedyn am faterion technegol cyn i Aron Jones sgorio cais i'r Wyddgrug ar ol 20 munud. Methwyd y trosiad. Yn anffodus bu i chwaraewr Nant dderbyn ei ail gerdyn melyn am yr un trosedd 10 munud cyn y diwedd a chwaraewyd gyda 13 dyn am y munudau olaf.
Roedd 49 munud wedi'i chwarae pan benderfynodd y dyfarnwr roi cais cosb i'r Wyddrug heb egluro beth oedd y drosedd. Trosiad hawdd i S Quinton gyda'r ymwelwyr yn dwyn y gem. Ar diwedd y gem, barn gyffrednol pawb gan gynnwys cefngwyr a chwaraewyr yr ymwelwyr oedd fod Yr Wyddgrug wedi bod yn hynod ffodus i ennilll ac mai Nant oedd y tim gorau o bell ffordd. Dau bwynt bonws i Nant o'r gem felly.
Dydd Sadwrn nesaf bydd Nant yn chwarae adref yn erbyn Dolgellau yng Nghwpan Gogledd Cymru.
Mold went 6 points ahead in the first 10 minutes of the natch by virtue of two successful penalties by Steve Quinton. Quarter way through the match, Nant replied as the pack pushed over the line and Eryl touched down. Pep converted. From the restart, James received an elbow in his face and was red carded for retaleating. Five minutes later, James Kirby scored Mold's first try and S Quinton scored his second penalty afte 29 minutes. But, Nant went back on the attack and Ifan dartedt hrough to score an unconverted try to make the score 12 - 14 at half time.
Nant became even more forceful at the start of the second half and both Aaeron and Chink scored tries in the first 10 minutes, the second one being converted by Pep to make the score 24 - 14. A player from both sides was sin binned then before Mold scored their second ty (unconvertred) by Aron Jones.A few minutes after his return to play, Nant's yellow carded player received another yellow card and Nant had to play the last 19 minutes of the match with 13 players.
49 minutes had been played when Mold were awarded a penalty ty easily converted by S Quinton. Nobody on the pitch understood what the offence that led to the penalty try was and at the end of the match, Mold supporters and players stated that the best team by far had lost and that theyfelt that they did not deserve to win the match. Nant, therefore, had two bonus points from the match.
Next Saturday, Nant will be playing at home against Dogellau in the North Wales Cup.

Roedd 49 munud wedi'i chwarae pan benderfynodd y dyfarnwr roi cais cosb i'r Wyddrug heb egluro beth oedd y drosedd. Trosiad hawdd i S Quinton gyda'r ymwelwyr yn dwyn y gem. Ar diwedd y gem, barn gyffrednol pawb gan gynnwys cefngwyr a chwaraewyr yr ymwelwyr oedd fod Yr Wyddgrug wedi bod yn hynod ffodus i ennilll ac mai Nant oedd y tim gorau o bell ffordd. Dau bwynt bonws i Nant o'r gem felly.
Dydd Sadwrn nesaf bydd Nant yn chwarae adref yn erbyn Dolgellau yng Nghwpan Gogledd Cymru.
Mold went 6 points ahead in the first 10 minutes of the natch by virtue of two successful penalties by Steve Quinton. Quarter way through the match, Nant replied as the pack pushed over the line and Eryl touched down. Pep converted. From the restart, James received an elbow in his face and was red carded for retaleating. Five minutes later, James Kirby scored Mold's first try and S Quinton scored his second penalty afte 29 minutes. But, Nant went back on the attack and Ifan dartedt hrough to score an unconverted try to make the score 12 - 14 at half time.
Nant became even more forceful at the start of the second half and both Aaeron and Chink scored tries in the first 10 minutes, the second one being converted by Pep to make the score 24 - 14. A player from both sides was sin binned then before Mold scored their second ty (unconvertred) by Aron Jones.A few minutes after his return to play, Nant's yellow carded player received another yellow card and Nant had to play the last 19 minutes of the match with 13 players.
49 minutes had been played when Mold were awarded a penalty ty easily converted by S Quinton. Nobody on the pitch understood what the offence that led to the penalty try was and at the end of the match, Mold supporters and players stated that the best team by far had lost and that theyfelt that they did not deserve to win the match. Nant, therefore, had two bonus points from the match.
Next Saturday, Nant will be playing at home against Dogellau in the North Wales Cup.
