2nd XV Match Report

Saturday 11th February '06

Colwyn Bay 59- Denbigh 5

Captain Bob Blackwell led his team to a great win over Denbigh on Saturday. Blackwell elected to play up the steep slope in the first half, meaning Bay would have to work hard from the very start. The heavier and fitter Bay pack including Dean Henson and Chris Dentith found it easy to win good possession. Bays 2nd team policy of playing wide running rugby paid off, as classy fly half Duncan Auckland help spread the ball wide. The result of this was a first half hat trick of tries for Bay winger Steve Davidson. This early lead gave Bay the confidence to play even more daring attacking rugby. Bay soon rattled up more points, tries going to Duncan Auckland, Barry Cravetto, Phil Dixon and Ben Ashworth. As more of the same followed in  the second half, the result of the game became academic. Both sets of players turned their attentions to other things, and the referee was forced to abandon this friendly 10 minutes early, as the game descended into a brawl.
Captain Bob Blackwell will be ensuring a more disciplined showing in their game, home to Abergele.
