True grit earns the Preseli Men a good start to their new campaign

Crymych 9 Waunarlwydd 8


Crymych started their new campaign in this tough division with victory by the narrowest of margins against a determined Waunarlwydd side which pushed the Preseli Men all the way at a wet Parc Lloyd Thomas.

The home side led 6-5 at the halfway stage but had to defend against the elements after the oranges as Waunarlwydd looked favourites to take the verdict but reckoned without the determination of a Crymych pack which worked superbly as a defensive unit in which Aled harries, Dylan Phillips and Guto Davies shone, whilst backs Rhys Davies, Tomos Phillips and Dylan Thomas caught the eye as part of a determined back division.

It was Rhys Davies who opened the Preseli Men’s account with two well-judged penalties but prior to the break an unconverted try from winger Rhys Slattery took Waunarlwydd to just a point adrift.

Visiting centre Lee Evans kicked a penalty as his team’s only second-half points but Rhys Davies landed his third kick on target – and a terrific rear-guard action saw the Preseli Men able to celebrate success.
