Nant Conwy 53 – 0 Llangefni

Cyfarfu Nant Conwy a Llangefni am y tro cyntaf y tymor hwn gyda Nant yn dod allan yn fuddugol haeddiannol. Bu iddynt sgorio 9 cais i gyd a sicrhau eu pwynt bonws erbyn hanner amser. Sgoriodd dau chwaraewr hatric o geisiau’r un, sef, seren-y-gêm, Deian Roberts, a Sion Pringle, gyda cheisiau hefyd gan Brenig Hughes, Ifan Williams a Cain Jones a gwblhaodd 4 trosiad llwyddiannus.
Mwynhaodd Llangefni eu cyfran deg o berchnogaeth ond, heblaw am ychydig o achlysuron, ni allent wneud llawer o rediadau i hanner Nant. Roedd yr ymosodiadau tiriogaethol ganddynt yn dod yn gyffredinol drwy eu blaenwyr.
Bu I Nant, o’u rhan hwy, redeg y bêl cymaint â phosibl. Yn y pen draw, cawsant eu gwobrwyo pan ryddhaodd Pringle yr asgellwr Roberts i ffwrdd ar y chwith ac roedd ar gael i dderbyn y bas ddychwelyd a sgorio yn y gornel chwith. Dilynwyd hyn gan y cyntaf o geisiadau Roberts pan fu iddo osgoi taclo gan rhyw dri gwrthwynebydd ger y llinell gyffwrdd i redeg drwodd a sgorio.
Yna cafodd Pringle ei ail gais pan gwblhaodd symudiad llyfn ar draws y cae i’r gornel dde.
Yna bu i Hughes bweru drosodd i sicrhau’r pwynt bonws a sgôr hanner amser o 22 – 0.
Yn fuan ar ôl yr ail-gychwyn, cynyddodd Nant eu blaenoriaeth gyda chais allan o unlle. Cafodd ergyd clirio i mewn i 22 Llangefni ei dal yn ddiogel, gyda’r cludwr pêl yn gweld chwaraewyr cymorth ar y ddwy ochr iddo. Yn lle clirio neu basio, targedodd y cludwr y chwaraewr yn carlamu tuag ato sef, Roberts, a gipodd y bêl oddi wrth y cludwr a symud trosodd heb wrthwynebiad am ei ail gais.
Yna cafodd Pringle ei gais hat-tric pan fu i basio’n agos a chwarae cefnogol da ar yr asgell chwith gynhyrchu symudiad y gêm.
Y cam nesaf oedd cais hat-tric Roberts. Cafodd cic ysgafn gan Caron Davies ei tharo i ofod yn 22 Llangefni a gwelwyd Roberts yn rhagori ar bob amddiffynnwr. Daeth codiad pȇl llyfn yn ystod y ras ei alluogi i fynd drosodd yn y gornel.
Yna bu i’r blaenwyr gael eu hail gais o’r gêm trwy Ifan Williams, er erbyn hyn, roedd wedi symud i safle’r asgell chwith. Pas a ollynwyd yn hanner Llangefni gafodd ei gipio gan Nant a chymrodd Williams y pas i drechu’r amddiffyn ar gyfer cais rhif 8
Daeth y cais olaf gan Cain Jones. Enillodd Nant linnell a yrrodd y tîm i ddyfnder 22 yr ymwelwyr. Symudwyd y bêl yn gyflym i’r chwith i Jones fynd dros y gornel.
Dyma fuddugoliaeth foddhaol gan Nant. Y gȇm nesaf fydd Wrecsam, i ffwrdd – tîm sydd yn cael tymor da ac, ar hyn o bryd, yn sefyll yn bumed yn y tabl.

Nant Conwy and Llangefni eventually met for the first time this season with Nant running out convincing winners. They scored 9 tries in all and had their bonus point secured by half time. Two players, man-of-the-match, Deian Roberts, and Sion Pringle each bagged a hat-trick, with tries also coming from Brenig Hughes, Ifan Williams and Cain Jones, who also slotted 4 conversions.

Llangefni enjoyed their fair share of possession but, apart from a few occasions, were unable to make much inroads into the Nant half. What territorial advantage they had was generally gained through their forwards.

Nant, for their part, ran the ball as much as they could. They were eventually rewarded when Pringle put Roberts away down the left and was on hand to take the return pass and score in the left corner. This was followed by the first of Roberts’s tries when he somehow evaded three opponents near the touchline to race through and score.

Pringle then got his second when he finished off a flowing cross-field move in the right corner.

Hughes then powered over to secure the bonus point and a half-time score of 22 – 0.

Soon after the restart, Nant increased their lead with a try out of nowhere. A clearing kick into the Llangefni 22 was safely fielded, with the ball carrier having support players on either side of him. Instead of clearing or passing, the ball carrier targeted the chasing player, Roberts, who ripped the ball from the carrier and went over unopposed for his second try.

Pringle then got his hat-trick try when close passing and support play down the left wing produced the move of the match.

Roberts’s hat-trick try was next. A chip by Caron Davies into space in the Llangefni 22 saw Roberts out-sprint all defenders. A smooth pick-up on the run saw him go over in the corner.

The forwards then got their second try of the game through Ifan Williams, though by now he had moved to the left wing. A dropped pass in the Llangefni half was pounced on by Nant and Williams took the pass to beat the cover for try number 8.

The final try came from Cain Jones. A line-out win saw Nant drive deep into the visitors 22. The ball was the moved quickly left for Jones to go over in the corner.

A satisfying win by Nant. Next up is Wrexham, away, who are having a good season and currently lying fifth in the table.
