Adroddiad Gem: Nant Conwy 14 – 19 Llangennech

Dechreuodd Nant Conwy eu paratoadau cyn y tymor newydd gyda pherfformiad ysbrydoledig mewn gêm gyfeillgar yn erbyn tîm Uwch Gynghrair Cymreig Llangennech yn Pant Carw.

Er iddynt wynebu gwrthwynebwyr o ddwy adran yn uwch—a heb fwy na hanner chwaraewyr y garfan gyntaf y llynedd, gan gynnwys 11 blaenwr—rhoddodd Nant arddangosfa gystadleuol yn erbyn tîm ymosodol a ddaeth ar ymweliad. Cafodd y gȇm eichwarae dros dair sesiwn o 20 munud i alluogi’r ddau dîm I ymarefr eu carfannau’n helaeth.

Tarodd Llangennech yn gynnar, gan sgorio cais o fewn y ddwy funud gyntaf o’r sesiwn agoriadol. Atebodd Nant yn dda, gan gymhwyso pwysau parhaus a gorfodi Llangennech i syrthio’n ôl ar eu draed ôl, er i gamgymeriadau pasio cynnar atal eu o’r newidiadau i bwyntiau.

Roedd y sesiwn gyntaf yn cynnig cyfle gwerthfawr i aelodau carfan ieuenctid y llynedd gamu i rygbi hŷn, wedi’u cefnogi gan chwaraewyr o garfan Teirw. Er i’r pecyn newydd ffurfio wynebu her gref yn y rhan osod, edrychodd Nant yn gadarn yn y chwarae agored. Cynhyrchodd y sesiwn dri chais, dau i’r ymweldwyr ac un i Nant, ar ôl rhedeg atal 60-medr gan Aled Brennan.

Chwaraeodd Nant gyda’u llinell gryfaf ar gael am y 20 munud olaf ac fe reolwyd y rhan fwyaf o’r gêm. Symudiad pasio llyfn drwy’r cefnwyr welodd Carwyn Davies yn croesi am gais tîm rhagorol. Parhaodd Nant i bwyso ar y ymweldwyr tan y funud olaf ond, yn anffodus, ni allent ychwanegu at eu sgorio cyn i’r amser redeg allan.

Yn gyffredinol, roedd yn ymarfer ysbrydoledig a chorfforol i’r garfan, gyda’r rhai ifanc oedd yn chwarae I’r garfan hŷn am y tro cyntaf yn gwneud argraff gref cyn y tymor newydd.

Gêm nesaf: Mae Nant Conwy yn dychwelyd i’r maes ddydd Sadwrn nesaf, 22ain Awst, gan groesawu Bae Colwyn mewn Gêm Coffa Aaron Newman (14:00). Bydd tîm Ieuenctid yn cychwyn gweddill y dydd yn erbyn Ieuenctid Bae Colwyn am 13:30.

Match Report: Nant Conwy 14 – 19 Llangennech

Nant Conwy kicked off their pre-season preparations with a spirited performance in a friendly fixture against Welsh Premier Division side Llangennech at Pant Carw.

Despite facing opposition two divisions higher—and missing over half of last season’s first-team squad, including 11 forwards—Nant put in a competitive display against a strong visiting team. The match was played over three 20-minute sessions to allow both sides to rotate their squads heavily.

Llangennech struck early, scoring a try within the first two minutes of the opening session. Nant responded well, applying sustained pressure and forcing Llangennech onto the back foot, though early passing errors prevented them from converting that pressure into points.

The second session provided a valuable opportunity for members of last year’s youth squad to step up to senior rugby, supported by players from the Teirw squad. While the newly formed pack faced a tough challenge at the set piece, Nant looked sharp in open play. The session yielded three tries, two for the visitors and one for Nant, following a sharp 60-metre interception run by Aled Brennan.

Nant fielded their strongest available line-up for the final 20 minutes and dominated much of the play. A fluent passing movement through the backs saw Carwyn Davies cross for a outstanding team try. Nant continued to push the visitors hard until the final whistle and were unlucky not to add to their tally before time ran out.

Overall, it was an encouraging and physical workout for the squad, with the young debutants making a strong impression ahead of the new campaign.

Next Fixture Nant Conwy return to action next Saturday, 22 August, hosting Colwyn Bay in the Aaron Newman Memorial Match (14:00 KO). The Youth team will kick off the day’s action against Colwyn Bay Youth at 13:30.
