Bala Youth 53 v Bro Ffestiniog Youth 3

Rhyl Youth 10 v Colwyn Bay Youth 23
The Bay ended their league campaign with a hard fought victory away against Rhyl to consolidate their mid table position. The win was over shadowed by the head injury sustained by Bay outside centre Dan Parry late in the game and the remaining 10 minutes of the match was played on the second team pitch while Dan received treatment for his injury, thankfully the injury was not as serious as expected and will make a full recovery.
The Bay started brightly after a shortened warm-up due to the evening kick-off and fly-half Pat Atkinson put the first points on the board with a penalty after the home side were caught off-side on their 22m line.
The visitors’ attempt at off-loading miracle balls failed due to the wet and windy conditions with advantage being given to Rhyl and through this they scored their first try in the corner to take the lead.The Bay learned from their mistakes and the forwards started to take the game to the opposition and from inside their his own half prop Dewi Hughes gained valuable metres to re-cycle the ball and with good handling the ball was spread wide to left-winger Josh Lloyd who out-paced several Rhyl defenders to score a try and restore the lead.
Inside-centre Ethan Morris’s relished in the spaces in the home defence and he created his side’s second try by splitting the defence on their 10m line where he ran through towards the line and he unselfishly passed to the supporting flanker Gaz Williams to score under the posts and Pat Atkinson converted the extras. Unfortunately shortly after scoring his try the open-side flanker suffered a knock on the head and this disrupted The Bay and lack of concentration in defence allowed the home side to score another try to reduce the defecit.
Substitute forward Lloyd Jones’s impact on the game with his trademark tackle and jackaling skills was instrumental in his side’s third try when he secured possession in his own half and from the resulting steal no.10 Pat Atkinson sensibly used the elements to his advantage kicked the ball for territory and the Rhyl defender was forced to ground the ball after carrying the ball over his own try line after being pursued by the visitors attackers. From the resulting scrum no.8 Lloyd Jones picked-up but was stopped short of the line and quick ball was re-cycled and passed through the hands for outside-centre Dan Parry to extend the lead going into the interval.
With The Bay playing against the elements in the second period they were forced to do more defending and both sides suffered from poor handling and the game entered a scrappy period with neither team dominating,frustration crept into the home side’s game and going into the last quarter the referee made a debatable decision of red carding the Rhyl right winger who made a high tackle on his opposite number Harry Donegan.
This decision ruined any chance of Rhyl gaining their first league win and substitute fly-half Spencer Lumby further extended the misery on the home side by converting a penalty. After replacing Dan Parry the unlucky winger Jake Foreman suffered a rib injury which required hospital treatment.After a poor run of league form this was a satisfying bruising victory with numerous players were candidates for man of the match which eventually was awarded to blind-side flanker Will Broadway for his defensive work
