East v South

Last Sunday saw the South play the East at Shotton RFC. The U12’s fielding several new U11 players battled hard against a bigger east team. Although coming off second best they managed to score some great tries with the outstanding Josh Jones (Newtown) scoring a couple and a great long range effort from birthday boy Dillon Leary (Llanidloes). U13 went down by 7 tries to 6 in a very entertaining match where they produced some excellent attacking rugby. Sam Jones(Llanidloes) capped an outstanding display with 3 tries, other tries coming from the strong running flankers/centres Jack Owen(Newtown) & Gwidion Roberts (Bro Ffestiniog).The U14’s completed a clean sweep over the other North Wales provinces, coming out comprehensive winners 10-25. The Outstanding Outside Half Tom Williams(Newtown) chipped in with a try and Penalty, Dewi Bowen (Newtown) added a try and conversion, the other tries coming from the pacey wing Dave Carter (Harlech) and mister consistant Gez Davies(Llanidloes). This performance will enhance the reputation of several boys pushing to be selected for the North Wales select game versus Exiles, at Newtown on Sunday May 9th. But first they take on Heart of Wales at Llanidloes on Wednesday 7th April at Llanidloes 3pm kickoff.
