Good weekend for Wrexham rugby club - apart from the weather!
Wrexham’s mini rugby programme was wiped out on Sunday due to waterlogged pitches at Ruthin, but it was a different story at Bryn Estyn Road where the Wrexham Under 14’s and 13’s achieved creditable victories over Nant Conwy.
The Under 14’s won by 17 – 15 thanks to tries by Rob Evans, Daffyd Joseph, and Meredydd Francis plus an all important conversion from Tom Robinson. The game was as close as the score suggests, and it was the excellent combined play between the home forwards and backs which won the day for the home side. There were also some great individual performances from Man of the Match Shaun Ferrari at prop and Aron Davies at scrum-half.
Wrexham Under 13’s triumphed over Nant Conwy by 17 – 5, their tries coming from Lewis Wynne, Rhys Williams and Russell Jones with a conversion by Ed Evans. This was an even contest between two very committed teams. Wrexham had the edge in the backs and scored all of their tries by moving the ball wide. Outside-half George Stanyard added an extra dimension to the game with his excellent distribution of the ball to the home threequarters.
