Caernarfon 24 - Colwyn Bay 0

News of last weeks great win over third placed Pwllheli had obviously arrived at fourth placed Caernarfon. The home side came out all guns blazing. Knowing Bay would use any possession well, the Cofis game plan was to disrupt, and deny Bay all possession. A goal which they succeeded in
doing. Although Caernarfon had the vast amount of possession in the first half, they failed to use the steep slope to their advantage. Scoring only through Bays errors, 3 penalties kicked, and one try for a HT score of 16-0.
The middle part of the game saw a number of persons and one rat leave the field. The later, a dead rodent which had been missed during the referees pre match pitch inspection. The other departures were due to a flurry of yellow cards for both sides, and a red card. A Cofi centre given the red card for punching and breaking the nose of Bay hooker Sion Thomas. Following the media headlines and controversy surrounding the 10 week banning of Welsh centre Gavin Henson for breaking the nose of an opposition forward, all eyes will be on the ban handed out to the Caernarfon centre.
The Cofis added another brace of tries and a penalty to round off their win, and end a very forgetable game for the Bay side.

Colwyn Bay are home this Saturday against fellow strugglers Denbigh. The Bay are hoping for a large home crowd for what promises to be a hard fought game.
