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.
