Ruthin Youth vs Denbigh Youth 5/09/15

The opening weekend of the North Wales Youth League Division 1 pitted together Vale of Clwyd rivals Ruthin and Denbigh at Cae Ddol. In an entertaining encounter, Ruthin got off to a bright start with two unconverted tries from debutant blindside flanker Brynach Edwards and right wing Ciron Davies in each corner during the first quarter of an hour. However, indiscipline from the Ruthin forwards gave Denbigh a number of penalties and after a yellow card for prop Owain Jones for an overzealous tackle, the visitors made the most of their one man advantage by scoring a converted try and a penalty to bring the scores level 10-10 at the interval.

Ruthin started the stronger again in the second half with full back Dyfan Humphreys scoring his first try at this level as he rounded the opposition defence on the left flank for Nathan Jones to convert. Shortly after the restart, Denbigh's David Devine intercepted a loose pass from Ruthin centre Dafydd Cale to release Gruff Roberts who raced to the line to score a try which levelled the scores again at 17-17 after Dafydd Pierce's third successful kick.  

With the game finely balanced and Ruthin in their own 22, a searing break from centre Nathan Jones was finished with a clever inside pass on the halfway line  to centre partner Dafydd Cale who outpaced the Denbigh defence to score under the posts on his debut. Nathan Jones converting. Within a couple of minutes it was the turn of Dafydd Cale to break through the Denbigh defence and deliver a well timed pass for Nathan Jones to score a try to the right of the posts which he duly converted. Ruthin's hard working forwards led by captain Ollie Powell-Jones and marshalled by the inspired Finn Nelson at scrum half pressured Denbigh's pack into conceding a penalty which Nathan Jones converted to effectively end the match at Ruthin 34 Denbigh 17.
