Fixture

Crymych 21 - Felinfoel 25

Powerful back rower Osian Davies grabbed a hat-trick of tries for Crymych as they produced an excellent second half revival after trailing 25-7 at the oranges - but he still ended up on the losing side as The Teifisiders were unable to turn late pressure into more points and in the final analysis had to settle for a losing bonus point when they might have scooped the lot!

Davies' first try owed much to the endeavours in the tight from skipper Rhys 'Beaky' Davies, Matthew Freebury, Jason Nicholls, Carwyn Rees and Morgan James, with Jake Jenkins adding the extra points.

But Felinfoel showed why they are doing so well as they looked to build the platforms for attack which saw hooker Rhys Evans, second row Andrew Thomas and centre Jordan Dunn score tries, supplemented by two conversions and two penalties from fly half Aled Roberts.

Whatever coach Randall Williams said to The Preseli Men at half time it certainly worked because they gradually gained the back-row ascendancy through Osian Davies, Sion Colella and Aled Harries, which resulted in two further scores for Davies, both converted by replacement centre Ifan Phillips.

Felinfoel held on for victory however but knew they could well have lost had Crymych not missed tackles and given them too big of an advantage in that first period!
