Dolgellau through to Quarter Final!

Dolgellau Youth 53-v-0 Treharris Youth

Dolgellau Youth welcomed Treharris to the Marian this afternoon for the third round of the WRU Bowl.  At stake was a coveted place in the last eight of the national competition.

The gogs set their stall out early through a try by Dean Thomas taken within the first three minutes of play. Henri Roberts added the extras for the seven point lead.  A further two tries followed in quick succession with Jake Hinge and Dafydd George both touching down.  

Treharris were unable to contain the home team boys, who were running rampant.  Quick hands, intelligent running and support lines put pay to any chance Treharris had of breaking into the game.

The tries kept coming with Dean Thomas and Dafydd George both crossing for their second and further tries by Lewis Jones, Rhys Lewis and Samuel Jones before the break.  Three more conversions brought the score to forty eight before the interval.

With five minutes of the first half remaining, All seven Dolgellau subs were sent on to ensure they had game time.  The bench was strong and it was particularly pleasing to see no drop off in intensity or performance.

After the break, Dolgellau set about wrapping up the contest and within five minutes, Lewis Jones crossed for his second.  With the score over fifty, the game was ended.

The score line suggests a walkover for Dolgellau.  Indeed the home team boys dominated every aspect of play.  Treharris were starved of possession and territory.  It was however as fine a display of simple rugby played well as you could hope to see.  

Outside Half Dafydd Roberts (Capt) controlled tempo, put players into space and ran some great lines.

Man of the match, picked by Treharris, was open side  Dafydd George.  Two tries and some direct running proved too much for the visitors to contend with.

Great effort by all, we look forward to the upcoming quarter final, draw and venue to be confirmed.

Tries:  Dean Thomas (2), Dafydd George (2), Lewis Jones (2), Jake Hinge, Rhys Lewis, Samuel Jones

Conversions: Henri Roberts (4)
