Ruthin v Pwllheli
The game had to be abandoned half way through the second half with the conditions worsening by the minute. Pwllheli will feel a certain amount of relief as they were behind by a fair margin at the time. The game will be replayed later on in the season.

SATURDAY 2,DECEMBER 2006.
PWLLHELI RFC 19 DENBIGH RFC 13.
THIS IS A GAME PWLLHELI NEEDED TO WIN AND THEY DID SO MORE COMFORTABLY THAN THE SCORE SUGGESTS.TIRES FROM MATHEW HICK,CARL STUDT AND MARK SAYNOR AND KICKS FROM DYLAN LLYR SAW PWLLHELI TO MUCH NEEDED THREE POINTS.
SATURDAY 18,NOVEMBER,2006.
NANT CONWY 20 PWLLHELI 16.
WITH THE TEAM'S CRUEL LIST OF INJURIES NOT ABATING THE PLAYERS WHO REPRESENTED THE CLUB ON SATURDAY WERE A CREDIT TO THEMSELVES.WITH HALF A DOZEN ENFORCED CHANGES THEY FINISHED THE STRONGER SIDE.PREPARATION FOR THE HOME MATCH AGAINST DENBIGH ON DECEMBER 2 MUST BEGIN NOW TO BGIN PULLING OURSELVES OUT OF OUR PRESENT POSITION.
SATURDAY 28,OCTOBER,2006.
SADLY THIS WAS A CASE OF AFTER THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.PWLLHELI NEVER REALLY GOT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND WERE WELL BEATEN BY AN EFFICIENT AND ORGANISED MOLD SIDE.PWLLHELI PLAYED WELL IN PATCHES BUT THE LINEOUT NEVER WORKED AND THE SCRUM WAS UNDER PRESSURE.THE INJURY TO RADIM FAJKUS IS THE LATEST OF A LONG LINE OF PWLLHELI INJURIES.THEY NEED TO REGROUP AND RETHINK TO TAKE THE PRESSUURE OFF THEMSELVES.
SATURDAY 21,OCTOBER,2006.
PWLLHELI RFC 12 RHYDYFELIN RFC 9
DESPITE THE FACT THAT BOTH TEAMS WERE MISSING KEY PLAYERS
THE LARGE CROWD WITNESSED PWLLHELI'S MOST COMMITTED PERFORMANCE FOR MANY YEARS TO DEFEAT A RHYDYFELIN SIDE WHO ARE THIRD IN DIVISION 2 EAST.FROM THE OUTSET RHYDEFELIN USED THEIR BEEFY PACK TO BLUDGEON THE LLEYN SIDE.PWLLHELI SPENT CONSIDERABLE PERIODS ON THE DEFENSIVE AND WERE AT THE WRONG END OF A SERIES OF PENALTY KICKS. IT WAS INEVITABLE THEN THAT THE VISITORS SHOULD TAKE THE LEAD WITH A PENALTY KICK AFTER TWENTY MINUTES.HOWVER TRY AS THEY MIGHT THEY COULD NOT BREACH THE PWLLHLEI COVER.THEY WILL ALSO HAVE BEEN SURPRISED AT THE FEROCITY OF PWLLHELI'S TACKLING WITH LEE OLIVER TO THE FORE IN KNOCKING OVER FAR BIGGER OPPONENTS IN THE CONTACT AREA.
RHYDEFELIN EXTENDED THEIR LEAD WITH A SECOND PENALTY AFTER 24 MINUTES AND IT SEEMED AS IF THEY MIGHT THROTTLE THE LIFE OUT OF PWLLHELI'S GAME.HOWEVER FIFTEEN MINUTES INTO THE SECOND HALF PWLLHELI DUG DEEP.FROM AN INCREASINGLY CONFIDENT SCRUMMAGE PLATFORM THEY RELEASED THEIR BACK LINE.THEY TOOKTHE BALL UP TO THE RHYDYFELIN 22 BEFORE MOVING THE BALL LEFT.DYLAN LLYR THEN POPPED A DELICATE PASS TO THE RAMPAGING GERAINT PARRY WHO CRASHED OVER UNDER THE POSTS.WITH LLYR'S CONVERSION PWLLHELI HAD THEIR SIGHTS ON A FAMOUS VICTORY.HOWEVER RHYDYFELIN HAD ONE FINAL FLURY AND CONVERTED A WELL TAKEN DROP GOAL TO TAKE A 9-7 LEAD WITH BARELY TWO MINUTES ON THE CLOCK.UNLIKE THE MATCH AT NEWTOWN PWLLHELI DID NOT PANIC AND REVERTED TO WHAT THEY DO BEST WHICH IS TO USE THE SKILL AND POWER OF THEIR BACKS .MATHEW HICKS RECEIVED THE BALL WIDE OUT ON THE LEFT .HE LEFT SEVERAL WOULD BE TACKLERS IN HIS WAKE BEFORE INTERPASSING WITH CENTRE MIKE ADAMS.ADAMS' BURST FROM TWENTY METRES OUT WAS UNSTOPPABLE AND HE CRASHED OVER WIDE OUT ON THE LEFT.THE FAILED CONVERSION WAS THE LAST KICK OF THE MATCH.
MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS PERFORMANCE WAS FROM THE TOP DRAWER.THE PLAYERS DUG DEEP AND DESERVED THE SCALP OF THEIR ILLUSTRIOUS OPPONENTS.
MAN OF THE MATCH WAS PWLLHELI'S SECOND ROW GERAINT PARRY.
SATURDAY 14,OCTOBER,2006.
NEWTOWN RFC 6 PWLLHELI RFC 5.
FOR THE SECOND SEASON IN SUCCESSION PWLLHELI LOST IN NEWTOWN BY A SOLITARY POINT.PWLLHELI STARTED WELL AND SCORED A WELL PLANNED TRY BY SECOND ROW MARK SAYNOR.UNFORTUNATELY THET WERE UNABLE TO CAPITALISE ON THEIR EARLY PRESSURE AND GRADUALLY THE HOME SIDE CLAWED BACK IN CONTENTION.THEY TOOK A FISRT HALF LEAD THROUGH TWO ROWAN MEEK PENALTIES.ALTHOUGH BOTH SIDES HAD FURTHER CHANCES THE MATCH WAS A STACCATO AFFAIR WITH TOO MANY UNECESSARY STOPPAGES.
SATURDAY 7,OCTOBER,2006.
PWLLHELI RFC 75 WREXHAM RFC 10.
PWLLHELI BADLY NEEDED A TOP DRAWER PERFORMANCE AND THE TEAM DELIVERED IT WITH A COMPREHENSIVE AND STYLISH WIN.MAN OF THE MATCH WAS CENTRE DYLAN MORRIS WILLIAMS WHO SCORED FOUR TRIES BEFORE GOING OFF WITH A NASTILY CUT EYE WHICH LATER REQUIRED 27 STITCHES IN THE WOUND.

SATURDAY 23,SEPTEMBER,2006.

PWLLHELI'S POOR START TO THE LEAGUE SEASON CONTINUED WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AWAY DEFEAT TO A PROFICIENT CAERNARFON OUTFIT.LOSING BY FOUR TRIES TO TWO PWLLHELI OVER COMMITTED TO RUCKS AND MAULS AND PAID THE PRICE AS THEY FADED IN THE LATTER STAGES OF THE MATCH.
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 16,2006.
PWLLHELI RFC 29 LLANDUDNO RFC 44
PWLLHELI'S DISORGANISED PERFORMANCE BORE NO COMPARISON TO THE DISPLAY OF THE PREVIOUS WEEK.GONE WAS THE CONSISTENCY AND FLUIDITY AND WITH IT WENT THE CONFIDENCE.LLANDUDNO WERE A GOOD SIDE AND FULLY DESERVED THEIR WIN .TRUE PWLLHELI HAD A PERFECTLY GOOD TRY DISALLOWED AND HIT THE POST WITH A PENALTY ATTEMPT BUT THEY WERE EXPOSED TOO OFTEN IN DEFENSE TO DERIVE MUCH COMFORT FROM MANY ASPECTS OF THE GAME.
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 9,2006.
PWLLHELI RFC 75 TALYWAIN RFC 17.
THOUGH THIS WAS A COMPREHENSIVE DEMOLITION OF A GOOD SIDE THE RESULT
WAS SOURED BY A SERIOUS ANKLE INJURY TO CENTRE TERRY ADAMS.TERRY
WAS FOUND TO HAVE DISLOCATED AND FRACTURED HIS ANKLE.HE UNDERWENT
SURGERY YESTERDAY- SUNDAY 10 SEPTEMBER- AND WE ARE ALL HOPEFUL
HE WILL MAKE A FULL RECOVERY.ALL OUR BEST WISHES ARE WITH TERRY AND WE HOPE TO SEE HIM HOME SOON.

SATURDAY AUGUST 12,2006.
MACHYNLLETH RFC 17 PWLLHELI RFC 34.
PWLLHELI'S OPENING PRE SEASON MATCH WAS A DOUR SHOW IN THE OPENING HALF.PWLLHELI DID NOT GELL AND THE MATCH WAS PUNCTUATED BY HANDLING ERRORS. PWLLHELI FOUND THEIR RHYTHM IN THE LATTER STAGES AND WRE WELL ON TOP ON THE FINAL WHISTLE.
THERE WERE ENCOURAGING DISPLAYS FORM YOUTH PRODUCTS EUROS THOMAS AT FLY HALF AND ALWYN TRENHOLME AT PROP.BOTH LIAD A MARKER WHICH WILL BE DIFFICULT TO IGNORE IN THE SEASON TO COME.

CONGRATULATIONS TO RUTHIN ON THEIR HARD EARNED WIN.MENTION TOO MUST MADE OF REFREREE JOHN ROBERTS WHO HAD HIS BEST GAME IN CHARGE OF A PWLLHELI TEAM.

SATURDAY 22 APRIL 2006.
IN THEIR BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON PWLLHELI BEAT MOLD IN THE SEMI
FINAL OF THE NORTH WALES CUP 36-25.A DESRVED VICTORY OVER A VERY FINE SIDE.

SATURDAY 15 APRIL,2006.
THE SECONDS WON THEIR CRUCIAL AWAY LEAGUE MATCH TO BETHESDA BY 49-10.THIS HAS BOOSTED THEIR CHANCES OF LEAGUE HONOURS BUT THERE ARE TOUGH GAMES TO COME.
THE YOUTH TEAM LOST HEAVILY IN THE HOME LEAGUE FIXTURE TO LLANDUDNO.THE DIFFERENCE IN SIZES AND AGES WAS APPARENT FROM THE OUTSET WITH A CLUTCH OF 16 YEAR HAVING TO BE THROWN IN BY PWLLHELI.NONETHELESS PWLLHELI DID WELL IN PATCHES AND THE EXPERIENCE WILL STAND THEM IN GOOD STEAD FOR NEXT SEASON.
SATURDAY 1 APRIL,2006.
PWLLHELI 24 DENBIGH 18.
PWLLHELI PLAYED VERY WELL IN PATCHES BUT ALLOWED DENBIGH TO COME BACK INTO THE MATCH IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES.IN A MATCH MARRED BY THE SCOURGE OF WELSH RUGBY-THE SLOWING DOWN OR KILLING OF QUICK RUCK BALL- PWLLHELI WENT 24-8 AHEAD BEFORE A VOLLEY A CARDS SAW PWLLHELI END THE GAME WITH 13 PLAYERS AND DENBIGH 14.
THERE IS NOW A 3 WEEK GAP BEFORE THE SEMI FINAL HOME FIXTURE AGAINST MOLD.THIS IS A CRAZY SITUATION FOR BOTH TEAMS.IN ARGUABLY PWLLHELI'S MOST IMPORTANT MATCH FOR A GOOD FEW SEASONS HOW ARE PLAYERS TO RETAIN THEIR MATCH FITNESS??.A CRAZY END TO A VERY POORLY MANAGED LEAGUE AND CUP SEASON.
SATURDAY MARCH 25,2006.
PWLLHELI LOST THE CLOSEST OF GAMES 17-16 AWAY TO NANT CONWY.NANT DOMINATED THE EARLY EXCHANGES BUT PWLLHELI CAME BACK STRONGLY.LEE OLIVER SCORED WHAT WAS PROBABLY THE TRY OF THE SEASON FOR HIS TEAM.WITH CAERNARFON LOSING WE ARE CERTAIN OF THIRD PLACE IN THE LEAGUE FOR THIS SEASON.

PWLLHELI BEAT DENBIGH BY 29-14 IN THIS STORMING QUARTER FINAL ENCOUNTER PLAYED AT BETHESDA.THE TEAM PLAYED WELL BUT HAD TO WITHSTAND CONSIDERABLE SECOND HALF PRESSURE FROM A HIGHLY MOTIVATED DENBIGH.
OTHER THAN SOME CLASSIC RUGBY THE GAME WILL BE LONG REMEMBERED BY THOSE PRESENT AS THE MATCH WHERE PWLLHELI'S SECOND ROW WAS MISSED FOR A FULL SIX MINUTES.AN INJURY??A YELLOW CARD?? A BLOOD BIN??? NO.IT WAS QUITE SIMPLY THAT MARK SAYNOR WAS CAUGHT SHORT.THE BETHESDA RESERVE TEAM PITCH WILL CERTAINLY BE THE BEST FERTILISED IN NORTH WALES.BRAVELY MARK RESUMED THE FRAY-MINUS HIS UNDERPANTS.THIS IS AN EVENT WHICH WILL DOUBTLESS PASS INTO PWLLHELI'S FOLKLORE.
SATURDAY 4 MARCH,2006.
PWLLHELI RFC 23 NEWTOWN RFC 15.

SATURDAY 21,JANUARY,2006.
PWLLHELI 41 DOLGELLAU 7.

EXACTLY THE DEFECIT AGAINST NANT CONWAY.PWLLHELI CLAWED A TRY BACK THROUGH RICHARD HUGHES FOR A HALF TIME SCORE OF 17-5.
COLWYN BAY SCORED AGAIN AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY AND TRY AS THEY MIGHT PWLLHELI'S ONLY RESPONSE WAS A SCORE BY RADIM PAVLASEK CONVERTED BY DYLAN LLYR.

PWLLHELI YOUTHS LOST A CLOSE MATCH TO HARLECH YOUTHS BY 5-11.
.
WEDNESDAY 28 DECEMBER 28,2005.
PWLLHELI 21 NANT CONWY 29.
THIS WAS A MATCH THAT PWLLHELI COULD HAVE WON DESPITE AN APPALLING START WHICH SAW US CONCEDE TWO SOFT EARLY TRIES. NOTHING SEEMED TO GO RIGHT FOR THE LADS AND IT TOOK US FIFTEEN MINUTES TO GET ANY KIND OF MOMENTUM GOING.WHEN WE DID SO WE LOOKED THREATENING.DESPITE OUR EFFORTS WE COULD NOT CROSS THE NANT LINE.IT WAS A HAMMER BLOW WHEN NANT CROSSED FOR THEIR THIRD TRY JUST ON HALF TIME.
PLAYING ON THE UNFAMILIAR SECOND TEAM PITCH BECAUSE THE FIRST TEAM PITCH WAS FROZEN PWLLHELI ADAPTED TO THE SLOPE IN THE SECOND PERIOD. TERRY ADAMS SCORED A TRY EARLY ON AND WITH DYLAN LLYR'S CONVERSION WE WERE AGAIN IN TOUCH.DESPITE PLAYING EXPANSIVE RUGBY PWLLHEL;I WERE KNOCKED BACK BY A SERIES OF PENALTIES.IT WAS AFTER NANT MADE GROUND WITH A FINE TOUCH KICK THAT THEY SEEMED TO TAKE THE MATCH BEYOND PWLLHELI'S REACH WITH THEIR FOURTH TRY. 24-7 IN ARREARS PWLLHELI CHANGED GEAR.THEY WERE ABLE TO SCORE TWO LONG DISTANCE TRIES THROUGH MAN OF THE MATCH TERRY ADAMS AND FULL BACK GARETH WRIGHT.DYLAN LLYR'S EXCELLENT CONVERSIONS PUT THE RESULT WITHIN OUR GRASP.
HOWEVER THE BALANCE TURNED WHEN PWLLHELI'S SECOND ROW WAS YELLOW CARDED FOR HANDING IN THE RUCK. PLAYERS AND FANS WERE BEMUSED AT THE LACK OF CONSISTENCY AS PWLLHELI'S RUCK BALL HAD BEEN SLOWED DOWN THROUGHOUT THE MATCH. NONETHELESS THE DECISION WAS BINDING AND TILTED THE MATCH BACK IN NANT'S FAVOUR.THEY DULY OBLIGED WITH ANOTHER CLOSE QUARTER TRY TO TAKE THE MATCH OUT OF REACH.
A VERY DISAPPOINTING RESULT BUT PWLLHELI CANNOT AFFORD TO GIVE ANY SIDE A 17-O CUSHION.
THE TEAM WILL NEED TO QUICKLY REGROUP TO FACE THE STERN TEST IN CAERNARFON'S VISIT OF JANUARY 7.
HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!!
PWLLHELI'S YOUTH TEAM FIXTURE WAS POSTPONED BY THE REFEREE AN HOUR BEFORE THE KICK OFF AS THE PITCH WAS DEEMED TO BE UNPLAYABLE.

Second xv -Porthmadog rfc- 0 Pwllheli rfc - 30 .
Youth xv -Pwllheli rfc -41 Newtown rfc -24 .
The first team result was an excellent outcome against a very good side. Chris
Johnson's team played with a lot of discipline and coped with the enforced
changes very well.Both wings Radim and Sion Billy more than held their own and
matched their opposite number in all areas of play.
Man of the Match was PAVEL INDRAK.Our prop from HAVIROV in the Czech
Republic did wll in the set but with improving fitness we are seeing more of him
about the field as well.
SECOND XV
With the experience in the Pwllheli pack they achieved a good win against a
typically committed Caernarfon side.Pwllheli still need a few more results to
ensure their place in the League playoffs whcih start in January 2006.
YOUTH XV
Our Youth team were overwhelmed in the first period by a strong Newtown side.At
half time they trailed by 41-5 but a second half fight back saw them score three
unanswered tries.There is clearly still work to do but they will persevere.This was
always going to be a difficult league for this very young side but there are signs
they are adjusting to the increased pace and physicality of yOuth as opposed to
junior rugby.Well done lads-hang on in there.
