(English version below)

Gwnaeth saith cais ail hanner weld y Teirw yn sicrhau buddugoliaeth yn y gêm ola f ond un o’r tymor wrth iddynt ddod yn ôl o anfantais o 10 – 12.

Sicrhaodd y Teirw arweiniad cynnar drwy gais gan Morgan Clwyd, ond er gwaethaf rhai torriadau da ni allent ychwanegu at hyn.
Daeth Dinbych,yn raddol, fwy i mewn i’r gêm, a chyda gwynt cryf y tu ôl iddynt, dechreusant roi pwysau, gyda chadw’r bêl yn ffactor allweddol. Roedd y glaw trwm tuag at ddiwedd y chwarter cyntaf yn effeithio’n andwyol ar y Teirw gyda’r cenllysg trwm, wedi’i gynnal gan y gwynt cryf, yn chwythu bron yn llorweddol i’w hwynebau. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn roedd Dinbych wedi sgorio dau gais a, gyda throsi, sefydlu mantais o 5 – 12.

Cipiodd y Teirw gais arall ychydig cyn y egwyl pan aeth Cai Jones drosodd i roi sgôr hanner-amser o 10 – 12.

Gostyngodd y gwynt ychydig yn yr ail hanner ac ymddangosodd hyn i helpu, gyda phasio’r Teirw yn dod yn fwy cywir. Cafodd Ilan Jones y trydydd i’r Teirw ar ôl 50 munud, cyn i Deio Williams sicrhau’r pwynt bonws gyda’r pedwerydd cais i roi’r tîm cartref 24 – 12 ar y blaen.

Ychwanegodd Rhodri Pyrs y pumed a sgoriwyd y chweched gan y prop wrth gefn, Gwydion Ellis-Jones.

Cynydduodd Robin Davies y fantais ymhellach cyn i Ddinbych dynnu un yn ôl i roi sgôr o 45 – 19.

Yna cipiodd Davies ei ail cyn i Osian Dobson gael cais olaf o’r gêm.

Dechreuodd y Teirw ar gyflymder ffyrnig a chael y cais cyntaf ychydig funudau yn unig ar ôl i’r bêl gael ei symud o’r adain dde i ochr arall y cae i ganiatau Clwyd fynd drosodd yn y gornel.

Roedd yn debyg y byddai’r sgôr hon yn cael ei hychwanegu at, ond pasio anghywir ac amddiffyn arbennigwnaeth atal y Teirw. Yna daeth y stormgenllysg. Roedd o’n ddigon drwg i’r rhai gyda dillad gwrth-ddŵr, felly dim ond yn boenus y gallai fod i’r rhai yn eu cit gyda rhew’n hedfan yn union i’w hwynebau. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn y daeth Dinbych gyda’u cefnau wrth y gwynt, yn ôl i’r gêm. Yn gyntaf, torriad yn y canol wedi sgrym yn 22 y Teirw arweiniodd at gaisl wedi’i drosi. Ychydig wedyn, cafodd cic sydyn dros amddiffyn y Teirw ei gasglu, ac er i chwaraewr Dinbych gael ei daro i lawr ar y 22, caniatâi’r pas allan o’r tacl i’r gefnogaeth redeg yn rhydd am y llinell a chael sgôr blaen o 5 – 12.

Ymddangosai’n debygol y byddai’r sgôr hon yn parhau tan y saib hanner. Fodd bynnag, roedd gan Ynyr Roberts syniadau eraill. Cafodd y bêl ei chipio ganddo môl gyrru a symud ymlaen i lawr yr asgell. Canfyddodd ei bas pop Josh Williams a basiodd y tu mewn i Cai Jones fynd drosodd, gan wneud y sgôr yn 10 – 12 am y saib.

Roedd yr ail hanner yn perthyn yn bennaf i’r Teirw. Deg munud i mewn, cymrwyd cic gosb tap yn ardal 22 Dinbych a symudwyd y bêl i Ilan Jones a aeth i mewn o dan y post. Yn fuan wedi hynny cafwyd y pwynt bonws gan Williams o’r sgrym ger y linell gais.

Yn ystod y deg munud nesaf, cafwyd pedwar cais arall. Pyrs oedd y cyntaf i ymateb i bas a gafodd ei gollwng gan Ddinbych. Fe wnaeth ei chicio ymlaen gan ennill y ras i gyffwrdd i lawr. Yn fuan ar ôl ailgychwyn, roedd rhedeg pwerus gan Josh Williams wedi arwain at gic gosb. Cafodd ei gymryd yn gyflym a symudwyd y bêl i’r asgell chwith lle gwnaeth Gwydion Ellis-Jones efelychiad da o Rhys Carré i fynd drosodd yn y gornel.

Cafodd Davies ei gais cyntaf pan aeth ar rediad o’i hanner ei hun, rhoi y bêl allan a roedd ar gael i gasglu’r dychweliad i redeg i mewn o 20 metr.

Yna tynodd Dinbych gais yn ôl ar ôl cosb gyflym o bum metr allan. O fewn 3 munud cafodd Davies ei ail gais pan estynnodd tuag at y llinell ar ôl cydweithrediad agos.

Gyda phump munud i fynd, aeth Josh Williams ar ras gref arall. Er ei fod yn cael ei dynnu i lawr fymryn cyn y llinell, cafodd y bêl ei phopio i Dobson a symudodd trwy’r hoill amddiffyn olaf i fynd drosodd.

Gwelwyd gweddill y gêm Dinbych yn ymdrechu i gael pedwerydd cais am bwynt bonws ond ni chafwyd hynny a gyda’r holl geisiau ail hanner yn cael eu trosi, y sgôr olaf oedd 59 – 19.

Dylai’r gêm hon, yn enwedig yr ail hanner, roi mantais dda i’r Teirw ar gyfer y gêm sydd i ddod yn erbyn Y Drenewydd ar y 18fed Ebrill.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Seven second half tries saw the Tierw secure victory in the penultimate match of the season when they came back from a 10 – 12 deficit.

The Teirw secured an early lead through a Morgan Clwyd try, but despite some good breaks they were unable to add to this.

Denbigh gradually came more into the game, and with a strong wind behind them, began to apply pressure, the ball retention being a key factor. The downpour toward the end of the first quarter adversely affected the Teirw with the heavy hail, carried by the strong wind, blowing almost horizontally into their faces. It was during this period that Denbigh scored two tries and, with a conversion, established a 5 – 12 lead.

The Teirw grabbed a second try shortly before the break when Cai Jones went over to give a half-time score of 10 – 12.

The wind dropped somewhat in the second half and this seemed to help, with the Teirw passing becoming more accurate. Ilan Jones got a third for the Teirw after 50 minutes, before Deio Williams secured the bonus point with a fourth try to put the home team 24 – 12 ahead.

Rhodri Pyrs added a fifth and a sixth was scored by replacement prop, Gwydion Ellis-Jones.

Robin Davies increased the lead further before Denbigh pulled one back to give a score of 45 – 19.

Davies then grabbed his second before Osian Dobson got the final touch down of the game.

The Teirw started at a furious pace and had the first try within a couple of minutes when the ball was moved from the right wing to the opposite side of the pitch for Clwyd to go over in the corner.

It looked likely that this score would be added to but mishandling and gritty defence kept the Teirw out. Then came the hail storm. It was bad enough for those with waterproof clothing on, so it can only have been tortuous for those in their kit with hailstones blowing directly into their faces. It was during this period that Denbigh, with their backs to the wind, came back into the game. Firstly, a breakthrough in the centre following a scrum in the Teirw 22 resulted in a converted try. Shortly after, a chip over the Teirw defence was gathered, and though the Denbigh player was brought down on the 22, the pass out of the tackle allowed the support a clear run for the line and a lead of 5 – 12.

It seemed likely this score would carry through to half time. However, Ynyr Roberts had other ideas. He ripped the ball away in a driving maul and advanced down the wing. His pop pass found Josh Williams who passed inside for Cai Jones to go over, making it 10 – 12 at the break.

The second half belong mostly to Teirw. Ten minutes in a tapped penalty in the Denbigh 22 saw the ball moved to Ilan Jones who went in under the posts. This was soon followed by the bonus point try from Williams from a scrum near the try line.

The next ten minutes saw four more tries scored. Pyrs was the first to react to a dropped pass by Denbigh. He kicked ahead and won the race to touch down. Soon after the restart, a powerful run by Josh Williams resulted in a penalty. It was taken quickly and the ball was moved to the left wing where Gwydion Ellis-Jones did a good impersonation of Rhys Carré to go over in the corner.

Davies got the first of his tries when he went on a run from his own half, gave the ball out and was on hand to collect the return to run in from 20 metres.

Denbigh then pulled a try back following a quickly taken penalty from five metres out. Within 3 minutes Davies had his second try when he stretched for the line following close interplay.

With five minutes to go Josh Williams went on another strong run. Though pulled down short of the line, the ball was popped to Dobson who jinked his way through the last of the cover to go over.

The remainder of the game saw Denbigh striving to get a fourth try for a bonus point but it was not to be and with all second-half tries being converted the final score was 59 – 19.

This game, especially the second half, should put the Teirw in good stead for the upcoming game against Newtown on 18 April.
