No one who viewed this game would have said that basically three quarters of them were playing their first ever game of rugby.

Rygbi Merched Dan 15 - Merched Caernarfon 54 v Merched Bethesda 0
Byddai neb a wyliodd y gem hon yn dweud bod trichwarter ohonnynt yn chwarae eu gem gyntaf erioed. 'Roedd hynny ynddo'i hun yn profi fod yr hyfforddwyr wedi gwneud eu gwaith a bod gan bob un a gymrodd ran wir ddiddordeb yn y gêm ynghyd â'r awydd i wella eto. 'Roedd merched Caernarfon ar y cyfan ychydig yn hynach a gyda ychydig mwy o brofiad yn ardal y dacl a hynny yn y pendraw sicrhaodd y fuddugoliaeth iddynt.
Daeth y cais agoriadol wrth i gic gosb gael ei rhedeg gan Martha Morgan, ond o gael ei rhwystro yn brin o'r linell cafwyd Amy Roberts wrth law i dirio. Cafwyd sawl rhediad nerthol gan y Capten a'r faswraig Alice Williams ond dangosodd Llinos Roberts o blith genod Bethesda fod y grefft o daclo yn sicr yn ei meddiant. Addawol iawn hefyd fu cyfraniad Emily May ar ran genod Besda yn ystod y cyfnod. O aros yn hanner Bethesda a rhoi pwysedd adeg sgrymiau gwelwyd yr wythwraig Ruby Roberts yn casglu a gwthio pawb o'r neulltu nes cyrraedd i sgorio'r ail gais. Yn wir hi oedd wrth law i barhau a thirio yn dilyn derbyn pas wedi bylchiad ar yr ochr dywyll gan Amy Roberts.
Ymysg y cefnwyr 'roedd Lois Thomas wedi dangos cyflymder a balans gyda sawl rhediad nerthol ond tua terfyn yr hanner cyntaf amseriad y bas olygodd fod ei chyd-ganolwraig Holly Jones wedi llwyddo i redeg chwe deg llath i sgorio cais unigol gwych.
Lois ei hun agorodd sgorio'r ail hanner yn syth o'r gic gyntaf wrth dirio a gwrthymosod ar gyflymder nes osgoi yr ymdrechion i'w rhwystro.
Yn dilyn hynny ymdrechodd Bethesda yn galed i ddod nol i'r frwydr gyda Efa Williams a Gwenllian Owen yn brysur drwy'r adeg. I Gaernarfon gwelwyd lefel ffitrwydd y flaenasgellwraig Chloe Jones yn dod i'r amlwg wrth iddi garlamu'n glir a sgorio wedi derbyn pas gan un arall a gafodd ail hanner addawol iawn, Cari Wyn.
Cyflymder Lois Thomas ddaeth ar cais nesa ac yna hyder cynyddol Chloe Jones yn sicrhau dau gais ychwanegol iddi. Ni ildiodd Bethesda o gwbl gyda calon fawr Lisa Carr yn esiampl o sut i ddal ati i'r diwedd. Daeth un cais arall ar y terfyn i'r asgellwraig Seren Hughes a ddaeth i mewn o'r asgell i gasglu a gwasgu mewn dan y pyst. Amy Roberts fentrodd gyda'r dyletswyddau cicio, gan lwyddo gyda dwy drosiad a hynny yng nghanol perfformiad aeddfed, llawn egni a disgybledig, a hynny ar ei hymddangosiad cyntaf un.
Gobeithio yn fawr y gellir trefnu mwy o gemau tebyg i'r merched yn fuan a diolch i Cenin Eifion a Simon Dignam fel hyfforddwyr ac i'r holl rieni cefnogol.
Under 15's Girls Rugby.
Caernarfon Girls 54 v Bethesda Girls 0.
No one who viewed this game would have said that basically three quarters of them were playing their first ever game of rugby. This was testament to the good work of the coaches and it was apparent that each and everyone who took part had a keen interest in the game and were eager to develop further.
The Caernarfon girls were on the whole a little older and had a little more knowhow in the tackle area, this being the one factor that ensured their victory.
The first try stemmed from a penalty charge by Martha Morgan, who on being halted just short of the line found Amy Roberts in support to crash over. Captain Alice Williams at standoff ran strongly but Bethesda's Llinos Roberts proved that the art of tackling was certainly in their locker. The contribution of Emily May in Besda colours was also very promising during this period.
By maintaining their presence in Bethesda's half and maintaining pressure at scrum time Number eight Ruby Roberts was able to pick up and force her way through numerous attempted tackles to score her side's second try. Indeed it was Ruby once again who was at hand to collect and score following a blind side break by Amy Roberts minutes later.
Amongst the backs Lois Thomas had shown speed and balance with several strong charges but towards the end of the half it was her timing of the pass that led to fellow centre Holly Jones sprinting clear all of sixty yards to score a fine individual try.
It was Lois herself who opened the second half scoring direct from the kick off, by fielding the high ball and counterattacking at speed so as to outstrip the cover and score.
Following this Bethesda tried hard to exert pressure of their own with Efa Williams and Gwenllian Owen prominent. For Caernarfon the fitness level of flanker Chloe Jones came to the fore as she scampered clear to score having received a pass from Cari Wyn who herself had a very promising second half .
The speed of Lois Thomas ensured her another try with Chloe Jones's ever increasing confidence ensuring her another two touchdowns. Bethesda however never gave up with the commitment and fighting spirit of Lisa Carr being an example to all. One final try was scored by winger Seren Hughes who came in off her wing to collect and force her way over close to the posts. Amy Roberts took on the kicking duties, being successful with two conversions amid a mature, highly energetic and disciplined performance on her debut.
Hopefully more games can be arranged for the girls shortly and thanks are extended to both Cenin Eifion and Simon Dignam as coaches and all the supportive parents.
