April 21st 2007

Llangefni Youths 5 Pwllheli Youths 16

Pwllheli gained a very impressive victory at Llangefni on Friday evening by 16-5.

Llangefni had a big strong side but Pwllheli’s better organisation and solid structure was evident and eventually won the day. Pwllheli were more comfortable on the ball than their opponents with every player aware of their responsibilities. The great strides achieved in the players’ standard of play throughout this season is evident and a tribute to the hard work put in by the coaching staff over the course of the season.

Huw hên scored a try in the second half with the remainder of Pwllheli’s points coming from Gethin Bodlas, which included two penalties from far out.

‘This lad has a kick like a mule’ was the remark heard from a spectator after one huge kick.

A very enjoyable game. The future of the Club looks to be in safe hands.
