North Wales Cup Final
Nant Conwy 19 v Bro Ffestiniog 9
Please note that this game was a league/cup double-header
Nant swop trophies this season with Caernarfon as they pip Bro Ffestiniog in excellent North Wales Final
Bro, playing with the strong breeze evident down the pitch, scored three times during the first half. Penalty kicks by Barry Roberts for minor errors in rucks etc. Nant looked the most likely side to score tries without actually doing so during the first half to make a score of 0 – 9 at the break.
Five minutes into the second half, Euros scored a try but injured his shoulder in doing so when he collided against the upright. After extensive treatment, he continued to play. Pep converted this try. By now, the Nant forwards were becoming more and more dominant against Bro’s young squad of players. With Bro’s back line under pressure again, it was no surprise when Ifan intercepted another longish pass after 20 minutes and darted under the posts to score another try that Pep converted. This gave Nant the lead for the first time in the match.
The remainder of the play was a classic of Bro’s defence against the power of Nant’s pack. It was a fitting end to this excellent game when the official Player of the Match, Nant’s number 8, Carwyn Ellis, darted over from the base of another strong scrum to plummet over for a try.
Nant, therefore, ending the season as the North Wales Cup winners and in 2nd place in Division 1 North – oddly enough swapping honours, compared with last season, with Clwb Rygbi Caernarfon.
