SEASON 2010-2011

CARDIFF BLUES NORTH UNDER 16 42 RGC 1404 UNDER 16 14

If any of the RGC Under 16 players were under any illusions as to the strength of the regional age-grade competition they were soon shattered on a warm,sunny afternoon at Abercwmboi Rugby Club as their counterparts from the Blues North ran out comfortable winners of their opening game of the season. Although only trailing 14-0 at the break the RGC side were out played in almost every facet of the match and despite tries from Emyr Gwynedd ( Mold) and Rhys Williams ( Mold) both of which were converted by Osian Jones ( Pwlhelli), these were very much consolation efforts. Although understandably disappointed the team can draw strength from the fact that last years Under 16s suffered a similarly heavy defeat in the opening match of last years competition and yet bounced back to win their next game against, ironically,the Blues North.
Next Sunday RGC Under 16s are home to the Ospreys Under 16s
