Pontyates 0 Betws 60

 Betws 2nds surprisingly managed to overcome the devastating blow of their Captain Gwilym Lewis being unavailable and recorded probably the biggest win in their history. Lee Moulton stepped into Gwilym’s large shoes and a team performance saw them rattle up an impressive score.

Gavin Rees lead the scoring, crossing 4 times whilst Emyr Tarw bagged two tries.  The team led by 40 at half time but the performance deteriorated in the 2nd half as 1st team players came on to dilute the talent.  Youngsters Nathan Jones, Glyndwr Evans and Luke Knockout showed some deft skills whilst Dylan bach did well taking over as the oldest player on the field from Alan Ice (‘retiring Al’ has now finally left the squad and can be found instead telling punters in the Coopers what a good player he was).

Having only reformed this season, Pontyates found this cup match a fixture too far and will be happy to return to league duties where they are going well in Section 3.  Utility back Mathew Billo declared defiantly ‘we were robbed’ but it is Betws who will now meet the Amman Quins for a place in the quarter finals.

Betws: Gavin Rees, Steffan France, Cellan Davies, Lee Moulton (Cpt), Nathan Jones, Richie Griff, Dylan Bach, Ted, Paul Roberts, Keith Evans, Gareth Llews, Luke Strafford, Emyr Tarw, Glyndwr.  Subs: Iestyn Wills, Phil Potter-Saunders, Sooty, Juice, Cellan Harris
