RUTHIN 2NDS 65

LLANGEFNI 2NDS 3

ON a day hot enough to give many a migraine, Ruthin 2nds comfortably beat a well drilled Llangefni side.

With the wind behind them, Ruthin started a little nervously with some handling errors affecting their ability to create some momentum. To their credit, Llangefni were tireless with their defence and took opportunities to make yards into the Ruthin half.

The deadlock was finally broken when the spritely Ben Taylor claimed a fine try.

Ruthin were then able to build on some fantastic phase play by the forwards and Chris Lewis latched on to a beautiful flat pass from Jamie "Chips" Jones to score under the posts.

The coaching team were particularly pleased with this score and suggested it would be a contender for try of the season.

Confidence was now high due to success Ruthin were having with their set piece and a number of players were able to cross the whitewash to score, including Tudur Parry and Jamie "Chips" Jones.

At half time, made substitutions to give some younger members of the team the opportunity to shine.

One of those youngsters who chose to take this opportunity was Alyn Addis.

Like a man possessed, Addis tackled a number of strong running Llangefni forwards and capped off his performance with a break from his own half, only to be tackled short of the try line.

With the heads of the Llangefni team dropping, the Ruthin team could smell blood and they sensed more tries were in the offing.

Huw Parry capitalised on a loose pass to sprint in from his own half and Luke Lewis was able to run in a brace of tries.

The forwards also wanted a slice of the action and Dillon Edwards was able to burrow his way to his first try of the season.

Based on this performance, Ruthin will be very confident for their next game at Pwllheli.
