For once the conditions were favourable enough to allow these most dedicated of players to show what they are capable of and for the loyal band of supporters it soon became apparent that there is plenty of potential at hand to feed the prospective Pirates Cluster Club in a months time.
Some of the players on view were clearly far more experienced than others but all were eager to learn and it was only the habit of supporting the ball carrier continuously that ensured that Caernarfon were able to draw clear on the scoreboard.
A brisk opening period saw the Cofis on the attack with a clean Lucy Owen break bringing play deep into Bethesda territory and with good support and link play by Amy Roberts she freed centre Elan Jones to score the opening try. Fellow prop Cara Usher then recycled well for ever dominant stand off Sophie Ellis to draw in the cover before releasing fullback Beth Whittle who outsprinted the rest to score close to the posts and convert.
Bethesda drew some comfort from the willingness of evasive centre Stephanie Parry to attack at speed but the tackling of Cofi scrumhalf Ffion Jones was a revelation therefore nullifying many attacks at base. Sophie Ellis then broke through from the base of the scrum to score granting Beth Whittle another conversion. Ellis was again in on the act as she gathered a loose ball and popped the ball to inside centre Martha Morgan for another five pointer.
Pesda scrumhalf Efa Glain was industrious throughout and linked well with standoff Erin Wyn who often got the better of the first would be tackler and was instrumental in putting her team on the front foot so allowing fullback Ceri Williams to finally break Cofi resistance and score a much deserved try following a determined charge.
Prominent Number 8 Mali Quaeck then scored following a pick up from the base of a scrum before a debut charge from Shannon Clark allowed Sophie Ellis to feed Amy Roberts who grounded deftly despite the close attention of numerous tacklers.
During the second half the Cofis maintained the pressure and were able to add to the score line with another Mali Quaeck charge. Wing Elin Jones then drifted into midfield and when finally stopped found Elan Jones at hand to gain her second five pointer.
With players beginning to tire, more gaps appeared and the final points of a thoroughly entertaining encounter saw Amy Roberts yet again support Mali Quaeck to find herself free and score out wide. Good work by Bethesda's Penny Carr led to another break by Stephanie Parry only for Mali Quaeck to track back all of fifty meters to halt her inches short.
The final Caernarfon total comprised of the five from nine conversions that Beth Whittle succeeded to convert.
