Crymych 17 Aberystwyth 14

The old cliché 'A game of two halves' was never more evident than in the contest for the oldest participants in the Junior Finals Day as Crymych and Aberystwyth showed how well players develop across the age ranges with good coaching and club support.

It was Crymych who made the brighter start as they used their forward power to establish a 17-0 interval lead with good tries from Owain Evans and Joseph Emmerson-Marl, with both converted alongside a well-struck penalty by Osian Hil,l who was outstanding at outside half with his ability to call the shots.

Aberystwyth kept plugging away and with the strengthening wind and slope advantage fought back with good tries from Sam Davies and Sion Evans, both converted by Joshua Hathaway, who was later chosen as Aber's man of the match.

Emmerson-Marl was chosen as man of the match be referee Martin Williams, amazingly retiring after almost 50 years with the whistle and deserving every credit as he stepped down after a match of the highest quality.
