Crymych cruise to vital victory

Haverfordwest 5 - Crymych 36

 
Crymych Youth maintained their interest in the league championship with a deserved victory at Haverfordwest in a Friday night floodlit match that attracted an even bigger crowd to Pembroke Road than The Young Blues previous fixture under lights against Whitland.
 
On that occasion Haverfordwest won in an exciting finale but on this occasion it was Crymych who were on top for much of a game when uncontested scrums were the order of the day, running  in six tries before the homesters gained a deserved consolation score from Ashton Doyle, who started in the back row but finished up in the centre.
 
Crymych gave debuts to under 16s players Ashton De’Ath, Cai Phillips and James Dearsley in an otherwise experienced team and their tries came at regular intervals from Jack Delaney, Jake Knoot, Owain Davies (2), Gruff Edwards and Ptolemy Alleyne, with Owain Davies converting three of them as he picked up Crymych’s man of the match award.
 
Haverfordwest coaches Steve Parry and Andrew Thicker were pleased with the way their young charges battled throughout against the league leaders – and a Crymych spokesman congratulated both teams on the way they stuck to the task to produce an absorbing clash.







 

Narberth ease through against battling Scarlets

 

Pembroke 10 - Narberth 38

 

Pembroke Youth hosted Narberth Youth on Saturday and the teams produced an entertaining game of rugby with both teams looking to move the ball and defending with enthusiasm and aggression before The Young Otters finally gained a deserved victory. 

 
Narberth scored first with powerful prop Joel Davies tackled inches short of the line, but with Wil Nicholas on hand to pick up and dab the ball down before he converted his own try.

 
Further tries followed for flanker Yori Morgan and prop Kayden Scourfield with one conversion from Wil Nicholas.

 
Narberth scored first in the second half with the outstanding Yori Morgan crashing over, followed by the try of the match from winger Max Morgan which was the result of excellent handling in the build-up before Elliot Evans converted.

 
Pembroke then got a deserved try from Dan Davies which was fair reward for their efforts throughout the match but Brad Cramb was next on the scorebook for Narberth, hitting a great line and crashing over under the posts. Elliot Evans converted before the final try of the match went to Pembroke, scored by George Jones.
 

The final score stood at 38-10 to the visitors and man of the match was a close call as hard- running centre Brad Cramb caught the eye but the nod went to Yori Morgan for a typical all- action performance.
 


Narberth: Rhydian Jones, Harry Williams, George Jones, Brad Cramb, Max Morgan, Archie Vallance, Eliot Evans, Yori Morgan, Wil Nicholas, Ben Davies, Harry Harries, Rob Ayers, Joel Davies, Owain  Holgate, Jayden Scourfield. Replacements: Ollie Hough, Alex Coaker, Owain Thomas, Dan Jones Morgan, Lewis Reed, Kyle Day

Whitland win an entertaining friendly

 

Carmarthen Athletic 19 - Whitland 28

With no league match on the schedule Whitland Youth took the chance to play a friendly fixture against their counterparts from Carmarthen Athletic and with both teams playing some attacking rugby a good crowd enjoyed an entertaining tussle before The Young Borderers came away with a deserved victory.
 
Whitland scored four tries by Ieuan Hill, Lewis Jones, Jack Worthing and Harrison Lloyd, with Lennon Reynolds having his kicking boots on as he slotted all four conversions.


The Athletic managed to score three tries through Lewis Tomas, McCallum Logan and Dafydd Ebsworth, with Harry Connick adding the extra points to two of them – and both sets of match organisers deserve every credit for not letting another international weekend prevent their young charges from playing.
