CAERNARFON 20

BALA 43

A SPOT in the top-three is now almost guaranteed for Bala.

With two matches left to play, victory in just one of them should prove to be sufficient for the lads from Maes Gwyniad to finish up in third spot in the WRU League Division One (North) standings.

Bala boosted their lofty hopes with a comfortable 43-20 triumph at Caernarfon last weekend.

While the hosts had a big pack, the Bala players concentrated on moving the opposition forwards around to tire them out.

Tighthead prop Mathew Befan scored two of Bala's six tries.
