Rhuthun 31-Llangefni 15

Ruthin came away with a bonus point win in this Division 1 North game against Llangefni but this was no easy win against a competitive Cefni side. The Blues started with a period of attacking play in the visitors’ 22 but couldn’t find a way through and had to be content with a penalty goal kicked by fly half Phyl Roberts. Cefni responded and it was the Blues turn to defend and although they got themselves back into the visitors half they put themselves back under pressure following a penalty goal kick that fell well short. This time Llangefni’s stand off Sior Greaves went over for an unconverted try putting them ahead 5-3. The lead was not to last long however as Blues captain Kyle Davies was put through for a fine try with Roberts converting. Two penalty goals were to follow before half time and the players went in with the score 13-8 to Ruthin and both sides down to 14 men with yellow cards on half time. The Blues started the 2nd half strongly and went further ahead with a fine try by centre Emyr Gwynedd but the visitors immediately responded with a try by Declan Griffiths converted by Rhys Hughes and putting them within 3 points of the Blues. Ruthin clearly decided this was too close for comfort and in a period of 10 minutes or so kicked a penalty goal and ran through with two further tries by wing Sion Roberts and full back Jamie Jones. The home side then had to defend hard against a concerted Llangefni attack right up until the whistle blew for full time. It was a good day for Ruthin’s teams with the 1sts winning 31-15 in this match, the 2nds beating Llandudno 54-10 at home in the Clwyd Cup and the Youth team winning away at Llandudno 33-3.
