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.

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.

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.

25.09.10 Rhyl 20 Abergele 10 - Rob Griffiths Reports

Division Two North: Rhyl 20 Abergele 10

Sep 27 2010 by Rob Griffiths, Daily Post

Division Two North: Rhyl 20 Abergele 10

IF ever there was a game of two halves this was it as Abergele continue their learning curve in Division Two North.

After completely dominating the opening 40 minutes and going in 10-0 up at the interval, Gele had no answer to the strong running of replacement centres Kriss Wilkes and Liam Kennedy after the break as Rhyl hit back with 20 unanswered points to seal the win and move second in the standings.

But Gele team manager Dino Jones Davies he was not too despondent after the loss.

Abergele have been knocking on the door of Division Two North for the past five seasons, and after finally being granted promotion, are continually learning.

“In the past five seasons we’ve played 110 games in the league, winning 94, drawing one and losing only 15,” said Jones Davies.

“We’ve been trying to get into this league for a number of years and now we are there we have got to learn quickly to compete.

“Beforehand if we were 10-0 up in a match then that was pretty much game over, now, as Bala did the previous week, teams will come back at you and we have got to learn how to deal with it.”

Abergele went in at the break 10-0 ahead with prop Darren Peters notching the game’s opening try, while full-back Gaz Evans converted and added a penalty.

But with the hard-running Wilkes and Kennedy on the field at half time, Rhyl took advantage with tries from centre Rob Tilley, full-back John Hall and Kennedy, with flanker Anthony Tilley converting one and adding a penalty.

Jones Davies added: “This was just a game of two halves; first half we absolutely dominated and they didn’t even get into our 22, but then second half we couldn’t contain their two centres and they created havoc for us.”

25.09.10 Ruthin 25 Mold 27 John Palmer Reports

Ruthin started strongly in this top of the table clash with unbeaten Mold and after 10 minutes of play Ruthin’s tight organisation and attacking play paid off with a try by centre Lloyd Stradling, converted by Wil Davies. Mold countered with their first real foray into the Blues half but the Blues broke out of Mold’s half with good play by flanker Clwyd Jones and full back Ben Syme and for the next 20 minutes the homes sides aggressive chasing and stifling of any potential Mold attack restricted most of the play to the visitors half. Ruthin were awarded a penalty which Davies slotted over and almost immediately centre Dan Edmonds got one back for the visitors. Just on half time Davies kicked another penalty for the home side and at the break the score was 13-3 to Ruthin. Mold went on to the attack on the restart but after a few minutes their scrum half was sin-binned. From the resulting penalty on the half way line, Ruthin kicked to touch and from the line-out No8 Lee Pope forced his way through the Mold defence and offloaded to wing Kyle Davie who sped over for a try. Again Mold responded and the Blues had to defend well against increasingly powerful forwards play by the visitors. Ruthin went down to 14 men after a player was yellow carded and Mold got a try back. The home side probably thought they had done enough when from another penalty on the half way line good work by fly half Jamie Morris released Kyle Davies to score along the wing. Wil Davies converted putting them 25-10 ahead. However Mold ‘s fitness and pack strength began to tell. They went over for two tries of which one was converted and then with a few minutes to go the visitors pack drove over for their bonus point try. With the visitors ahead for the first time at 27-25 and the clock ticking away Morris attempted a drop goal for the Blues which was charged down and shortly afterwards the whistle blew for full time. The Blues will be disappointed that they only came away with a point after probably their best display of the season but should take heart from improving performances by many players and a good debut performance by Jason Humphreys as replacement prop.

Sgorwyr Nant Scorers:

Ceisiau / Tries: Owain Jones(2), Ifan Jones (1)

Trosi / Conversions: Owain Jones (2)

Cosb / Penalties: Ifan Jones (1), Owain Jones (1)



Ar ddiwrnod heulog a braf, gwelwyd dau dîm yn ceisio’u gorau i chwarae rygbi cywir. Dechreuodd Nant ar dan a sgoriodd Owain gais ger y pyst ar ôl 2 funud yn unig. Bu i’r ymdrech am drosi daro’r post. Ar ol 10 munud, sgoriodd Arwel Roberts gic gosb lwyddiannus i Langefni. Chwarter ffordd drwy’r gêm, ymatebodd Ifan gyda chic gosb lwyddiannus i Nant yn syth ar ol i Arwel daro’r post efo cic debyg i’r tîm cartref. Yn yr amser ychwanegol ar ddiwedd yr hanner cyntaf, cyfnewidiwyd dwy gic gosb arall gan y ddau dîm - Ifan tros Nant ac Arwel tros Langefni. Sgôr o 6 - 11 ar yr hanner.

Chwaraeodd Llangefni yn well yn yr ail hanner ac ar ol 23 munud, bu i Dylan Jones sgorio cais yng nghornel chwith y maes a droswyd yn arbennig gan Arwel. Aeth Llangefni ymhellach ar y blaen gyda chic gosb arall gan Arwel i wneud sgôr o 16 - 11 gyda 7 munud yn weddill. Ond, o hynny ymlaen, Nant fu’n pwyso gydag Ifan yn sgorio cais dan y pyst ar funud olaf y gêm. Troswyd gan Owain. Yna, 5 munud i mewn i’r amser ychwanegol, bu i Owain sgorio’i ail gais o’r gêm, eto o dan y pyst, a throsodd i wneud sgôr derfynol o 16 -25.

Dydd Sadwrn nesaf bydd Nant yn chwarae adref yn erbyn Yr Wyddgrug.



On an sunny and dry day, two teams trying to play open rugby were evident. In their first attack, fly half Owain scored a try by the posts but the conversion attempt struck the post. After 10 minutes, Arwel Roberts scored Llangefni’s first points with a successful penalty kick. A few minutes later, he struck the post with another penalty attempt. Ifan was successful with his penalty for Nant after 20 minutes and two minutes into extra time at the end of the first half, Owain scored a penalty to put Nant further ahead. But there was still sufficient time for Arwel to slot a penalty over for the home side to make the half time score 6 – 11.

Llangefni were the better team for the first 30 minutes of the second half and winger Dylan Jones scored a try in the left corner after 23 minutes which was excellently converted by Arwel for Llangefni to go ahead for the first time during the match. That lead was extended after 33 minutes from another penalty kick by Arwel.



From then on, it was all Nant and only a minute remained of normal time when Ifan crossed over for a try under the posts, converted by Owain,for Nant to regain the lead. That lead was extended in the 45th minute when Owain scored his second try of the afternoon, again under the posts and duly converted to make the final score 16 – 25..

Next Saturday, Nant will be playing at home against Mold.
