WRU plate competition
Llanybydder 16 Crymych 58
Llanybydder entertained Crymych of Division 1 to Parc OJ for a WRU plate match. In an entertaining match, the home side were competitive in the first half, but the visitors ran away with things in the second period. Crymych have an excellent junior and youth set up, and the pace and class in their mainly young backline eventually led to a comfortable victory. Llanybydder competed bravely throughout, with flanker Dion Howells outstanding in the first half, and an excellent passage of play led to flanker Bleddyn Jones breaking away to score under the posts. There was a conversion for fly-half Steff Richards,and a further 3 first-half penalties as reward for periods of pressue.
For Crymych, there was try hat-trick for wing Lawrence Headlam, whilst young fly-half Ifan Phillips scored a try, as well as kicking 5 conversions and one penalty. Further scores were credited to Tomos Phillips with a brace, as well as Jake Jenkins, Nick Bevan and skipper Rhys Davies. A number of tries were from free-flowing moves as the backs spread the ball fluently along the back-line, taking full advantage of the extra man after 3 red cards were issued following an incident halfway through the second period.
Next week Llanybydder travel to play Carmarthen Athletic in a League fixture.
