Following report kindly supplied by Bro Ffestiniog RFC.
With Bro's squad nearly back to full strength following injuries and other commitments it was only the weather that dampened their rejuvenated spirits.
The match went ahead despite the impending storm and it was clear that Bro were much the better side during the first half.
Number 8 Dewi James lead the attack as he scythed through the defence. Forwards and backs combined well through 7 phases but for a knock on metres from the try line.
Dinbych were penalised for colapsing a scrum and Bro kicked for touch. From the 5m lineout the ball was passed out then back inside to centre Mathew Hayden who sidestepped and dived over to score a try converted by flanker Gethin Jones.
The visitors hardly worked their way into Bro's half such was the hosts dominance.
A charge down by Ffestiniog's Ioan Evans on the half way and some footballing skills by the young left wing took Bro deep into Dinbych's 22 but for a forward pass Bro should have scored their second try.
As the weather worsened the players were glad to hear the half time whistle and went into the club house for a much deserved relief from the rain with the score at 7-0.
From the re start the visitors played with the slope but against the strong wind, they kept the ball tight and were soon awarded a penalty. With the wind gusting towards him fly half Garin Roberts attempt from 35 m fell painfully short.
The weather of course played a significant role in this match with many handling errors but as the conditions were at times simply attrocious it was a credit to both sides and the referee that the match flowed as well as it did.
A Dinbych attack down the left wing took them close but Bro won turnover and cleared.
Another Dewi James attack took Bro close but this time it was Dinbych who won turnover and cleared.
With only minutes left Dinbych were awarded a scrum on 25m and an 8-9-14 move was finished off with a dive through what seamed a river of water by Kieron Boner. Roberts conversion to tie the match once more against the strong wind fell short and Bro held out to claim a much needed win.
Whilst Bro still remain at the bottom of Division 1 North grinding out a much needed win and back to almost full strength there are hopefully many points to be gained in the coming weeks.
Bro travel to Caernarfon next while Dinbych entertain Nant Conwy Kick off 2:30pm.
