Fixture

With a strong wind blowing across the pitch Rhuthun started this match against local rivals Mold playing up the slope.  Mold started with intent but were held in midfield by a strong Blues defence and play moved into Mold’s 22.  After missing a penalty goal attempt the visitors kept up the pressure and after 10 minutes play scrum half Cai Edwards nipped over for a try which centre Nathan Jones converted. After the restart the Blues had to defend well against a concerted Mold attack but eventually cleared their lines and set themselves up for the 2^nd try by No 8 Jordan Jones with Nathan converting.  Again the home side was contained in midfield as they tried to break through the Blues defence.  Rhuthun turned defence into attack and their 3^rd try came from Nathan just before half time and the players went in with the score 21-0 to Rhuthun.  For the first 15 minutes Mold defended well against Rhuthun’s attempt to get their bonus point try.   The game was fiercely competitive and infringements on both sides led to a red card for Mold and a yellow for Rhuthun.  After 20 minutes of the 2^nd half the bonus point try then came from Nathan which he converted.  The Blues went down to 14 men again with a yellow card  but kept up the scoring with a great individual try from full back Dyfan Humphreys again with Nathan converting.  The Blues were dominant now and Nathan scored his hat trick try with 5 minutes to go and then veteran back Gethin Hughes went over for the Blues 7^th try converted by Nathan and the whistle blew with Rhuthun winning 47-0.
