Emlyn ease through on ‘away team’ rule

Crymych 15 - Newcastle Emlyn 15 (After extra time – Newcastle Emlyn go through)

 

Crymych suffered the heartache of Swalec Plate exit in perhaps the worst possible way as they bowed out to Newcastle Emlyn after the teams were level at full time and the end of extra time, with Emlyn going through by dint of the fact that they were the away team!

Crymych played well in a tight first period as Rhys Davies, Joe Powell, Ifan James, Rhys Richards and Carwyn Rees all played well, with tries by second row Andrew Phillips (converted by Sam Phillips) and full back Carwyn Jones helping to a 12-7 lead as centre Dan Davies replied for Emlyn and No 10 Rhydian Harries converted.

Carwyn Jones added a drop goal in the second half for the Preseli Men but then Harries kicked a penalty and centre Davies sped over for his second try for Emlyn which Harries converted to take the game into extra time.

Both sides went close in an absorbing clash but the final whistle saw the teams still sharing 30 points but with Newcastle Emlyn awarded the win!
