Strong running Daf Thomas (Newtown) kicked a conversion. Aron Roberts (Bro) worked tirelessly and new comers Joe Franklyn(Oswestry) and Huw Jones(Tywyn) produced strong performances.
The U13’s won 29-7 Twm Jones(Newtown) bagging 14 points (2 tries, 2 conversions). Sam Jones (Llanidloes), Jack Owen (Newtown) and Gwidion Roberts (Bro) used their pace and power to score their customary long range tries. Elliot Pritchard (Newtown) produced several try saving tackles at Fullback. This was a well deserved victory to a team that has been growing all season.
The final game of the day saw two highly skilled and committed teams battle it out, with the GCS U14 showing how good they can be, coming away with a 54-5 win. Joe Mills (Llanidloes) put in his best performance of the season, with his appetite to run at the Ceredigion defence. Dave Carter(Harlech) showed he has power as well as an abundance of pace, and Gez Davies(Llanidloes) continued his fine vein of form. Tries Dave Carter 3, Gez Davies 2, Sean Griffiths (COBRA) 1, Joe Mills 1, Tom Farrell (Dolgellau) 1. Conversions Dewi Bowen (Newtown) 3, Tom Astbury (Newtown) 3.

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.

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.
