Mold 20 v Nant Conwy 26
This was another high standard rugby match between two teams that know each other quite well. Aeron split the home defence after 8 minutes to touch down underneath the posts. Grant was successful with the conversion attempt. Steve Quinton, the Mold number 10 scored his first of two penalties after 20 minutes (he also was successful with two conversion attempts during the match). But, the Nant pack pressurised the home line immediately and after 7 phases the forwards pushed Carwyn over to score his first try. Ifan was the successful conversion kicker this time. Five minutes before the half time whistle, Patrick Hughes scored a similar converted try to Carwyn’s for Mold. Then, in the extra time before the whistle, Carwyn again scored a push-over try that went unconverted this time to make a half time score of 10-19.
During the third quarter of the match, the only play of note was a break through by Caron in his own half and it was a sight to savour to see him fending off all attempts to tackle him until he was eventually caught by the home winger just a few feet short! But, from the next play, Nant passed the ball from wing to wing twice before the n0 12, Aeron went over for his second try and Nant’s bonus point score. Ifan was successful with the long range conversion attempt. At the end of normal time, the home winger, Aaron Jones caught Nant napping and scored a converted try in the corner. Twelve minutes of extra time was played in the second half and the last kick of the match was a converted penalty for Mold which won them a losing bonus point in a result of 20 – 26.
Nant’s next match will be home against Ruthin on Saturday, 5th March 2011.
Gêm arall o safon heddiw rhwng dau dîm sydd yn adnabod ei gilydd yn lled dda. Aeron yn hollti’r amddiffyn cartref ar ôl 8 munud gan sgorio o dan y pyst. Grant yn trosi’r sgôr honno. Cic gosb i’r Wyddgrug ar ôl 20 munud a sgoriwyd gan eu cicwr rheolaidd, Steven Quinton. Pac Nant i fyny’r cae yn syth ac ar ôl 7 symudiad ymhlith y blaenwyr sgoriodd Carwyn ei gais cyntaf ef. Ifan yn trosi y tro hwn. Pum munud cyn yr hanner, bu i bac Yr Wyddgrug sgorio cais tebyg gyda Patrick Hughes yn codi gyda’r bel. S Quinton yn trosi eto. Yn amser ychwanegol yr hanner cyntaf yn dilyn cyfres o bwyso ar y llinell gais, gwthiwyd Carwyn trosodd am ei ail gais. Aflwyddiannus oedd y trosiad y tro hwn i wneud sgôr o 10 - 19 ar yr hanner.
Yr unig ddigwyddiad o bwys yn y trydydd chwater oedd i Caron rhyng-gipio’r bel yn ei hanner ei hun ond serch ymdrech lew i gyrraedd y llinell, bu i asgellwr Yr Wyddgrug ei ddal fodfeddi oddiwrth y llinell! Ond, o’r chwarae nesaf, symudodd Nant y bel yn ddeheuig o’r naill ochr i’r llall gyda’r symudiad yn gorffen gydag Aeron yn sgorio’i ail gais. Troswyd o bellter gan Ifan. Ar ddiwedd yr amser arferol bu i’r asgellwr cartref,Aaron Jones, ddal amddiffyn Nant yn cysgu a sgoriodd gais ar yr asgell. Troswyd hwn eto. Chwaraewyd 12 munud o amser ychwanegol yn yr ail hanner a, gyda chic olaf y gêm, llwyddodd S Quinton i ennill pwynt bonws am golli i’r tîm cartref gyda chic gosb i wneud sgôr o 20 - 26. Pwynt bonws i’r ddau dîm felly.
Gem nesaf Nant fydd gartref yn erbyn Rhuthun ar 5ed Mawrth 2011.
