Ruthin started strongly and dominated up front with a much bigger pack but were foiled on numerous occasions by brave defensive work.
Against the run of play Dinbych number eight and man of the match Guto Hughes broke clear on the Rut
hin 10-metre line and ran in unopposed for an unconverted try.
Ruthin responded strongly and after the play broke down in the Denbigh 22 the ball was thrown wide for Ruthin to score their first try.
It was after this try that Dinbych played their best rugby, rediscovering a strong rucking game with excellent interplay from their talented back line.
The result was two further tries before half-time through Luke Farley and Jake Hayden.
With the score 17-5 to Dinbych at half-time, Ruthin dominated the early stages of the second half and scored two tries from close-range after good work by their forwards.
With Ruthin closing in and only two points behind, a superb individual try by Dinbych stand off Garin Roberts calmed their nerves.
