WRU LEAGUE ONE EAST

YNYSYBWL 21pts. DOWLAIS 8pts.

 

THE FIRST HALF WAS FAIRLY EVEN WITH BOTH SIDES BLOWING CHANCES TO SCORE.DOWLAIS WAS FINDING THE HOME FULL BACK JOSEPH WILLIAMS QUITE A HANDFULL, AND HE SHOWED HIS EXPERIANCE GAINED  WITH PONTYPRIDD, CUTTING THROUGH THE DOWLAIS DEFENCE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

JUST ON THE STROKE OF HALF TIME THE BWL BROOK THE DEADLOCK WITH A WELL WORKED TRY STARTED BY WILLIAMS WHO ADDED THE CONVERSION,

.

THE SECOND HALF SAW DOWLAIS THROWING EVERY THING  AT THE HOME SIDE TO COME ON TERMS WITH THEM.

DOWLAIS MADE MANY LINE BREAKS BUT THE FINAL PASS ALWAYS WENT ASTRAY, EITHER TOO HIGH ,TOO LOW OR DROPPED.

STEVE JAMES KICKED A PENALTY TO MAKE IT 7-3. DOWLAIS WERE UNFORTOUNATE TO CONCEDE THE NEXT TRY, WHEN AFTER BREAKING UP A BWL ATTACK WITH A  CRUNCHING TACKLE FROM FLANKER NICK THOMAS THE BALL THEN REBOUNDED OFF THE BACK OF A DOWLAIS PLAYER INTO THE ARMS OF THE BWL CENTRE WHO OUTSTRIPPED THE DEFENCE AND SCORE UNDER THE POSTS, WILLIAMS ADDING THE CONVERSION.

DOWLAIS NOW WAS CHASING THE GAME FOR A LOSING BONUS POINT, AND A PROMISING ATTACK STARTED WITH DOWLAIS THROWING THE BALL ABOUT LIKE THE BABARIANS BUT A WILD PASS WAS INTERCEPTED WILLINGLY BY YNYSYBWL FOR A SEVEN POINTER AND THE GAME WAS OUT OF SIGHT FOR DOWLAIS,.

 

DOWLAIS CREATED CHANCES ALL THROUGH THE GAME BUT WITH BETTER GAME MANAGEMENT AND BEING MORE CLINICAL COULD HAVE COME AWAY WITH THE POINTS.
