COLWYN BAY UNDER 9 TACKLE

COLWYN BAY 9    RUTHIN 3

Colwyn bay were away to Ruthin, their captain Harry Jones led them out. As soon as the whistle blew the bay got stuck straight in with some fantastic tackling managing to gain possession of the ball which Mattew Glenn took full advantage off and with some excellent side stepping and fast legs scored the opening try. Ruthin came straight back to make the score level. The bay managed to control the game and put Ruthin on the back foot, with Morgan Lumby and Joseff McAlinden both managing to steel the ball off the opposition and run the length of the pitch to score tries. At half time the score was 5-1 to the bay.

The second half Ruthin came out determined to turn the game around managing to score a try in the first opening minutes, the bay settled down and regrouped with Gwilym McCann, Bradley Reid, Ross Daniels and Brayden Harding taking control off the game for the bay with some good rucks and mauls. The bay team structure was faultless and they stuck to the game plan, which paid off. The score does not reflect on the game, Ruthin were a well-disciplined team who kept coming at the bay till the final whistle went. Archie Feathers one of our new forwards managed to power himself through four of Ruthins players and ran half the pitch to score his first try for Colwyn bay, the other try scorers were Mattew Glenn (2), Joseff McAlinden (4), Morgan Lumby (2). Man of the match was Aled Bysouth for his tackling game positioning and all-round performance

COLWYN BAY  4   RUTHIN 1

The second game was a lot closer due to lack of numbers the bay had to lend Ruthin two players who was Ross Daniels and Archie Feathers (a big thanks). The bay started of well and with some wide passes managed to get the ball out to the wing of the field where Harry Jones managed to run a solid try. Clayton White is one off the bays most experienced forward and played a big part of the game driving Ruthin back which give Morgan Lumby the opportunity to score a sneaky cheeky try. Ruthin came back with some big drives themselves led by Archie Feathers which helped Ruthin pull a try back. The second two tries came from Joseff McAlinden who was always support the ball carriers and this paid off being in the right place at the right time. The whole teams performance was outstanding and we couldn’t ask for any more, all the teams hard work in training is beginning to pay off.

U8s Tag vs Nant Conwy

Game 1 - Nant 6 Colwyn Bay 5

Colwyn Bay travelled to Llanwrst to play Nant Conwy. The weather was cold but fine with little wind. Colwyn Bay always get a good, challenging match against Nant who have a strong well trained side. Bay took an early lead but Nant countered quickly to pull the scores level. The game continued this way with the scores swinging in favour of each team throughout the match. Colwyn Bay tagged extremely well – this was a huge improvement over previous performances where Bay have struggled to remove the oppositions tags. The outcome of this impressive step up in technique was that Bay managed to earn some well-deserved turn overs - special note going to Peter Jones and Liam Weatherson. Both teams were extremely strong defensively which made an exciting match to watch. The Bay team was captained by Jordan Simmons. Bay tries coming from Rhodri Davies (x2) Harri Harral (x2), Michael Caldwell and Luke Simmons

Game 2 – Nant 3 Colwyn Bay 3

Tagging continued to be a strong part of the Bay defence. Tries coming from Peter Jones, Luke Simmons and Liam Weatherson.

Man of the match for these games was Harri Harral whose footwork was excellent, spinning and side-stepping out of Nant's grasp on a number of occasions.

COLWYN BAY UNDER 9’S TACKLE

COLWYN BAY 3     NEWTOWN 2

Colwyn bay was at home to Newtown (the conditions were wet under foot). The captain Bradley Reid led out the bay. This was our second match against Newtown and we new we had our hands full, the bays forwards, Archie Feathers, Oliver Roberts, Morgan Lumby, and Clayton White had to take control of the game due to conditions, the backs were finding it hard to get any good runs in due to the mud. The whole team adapted and started to drive the ball up the pitch with lots of peel of play and good passing which made up good ground. Every time Newtown gained possession the bays backs had their work cut out but with some spectacular tackles coming from Aled Bysouth, Harry Jones, Gwilym McCann, Matthew Glenn, Neve Prosser and Brayden Harding stemmed the flow of the game giving the bay opportunities to regroup. The try scorers for the bay were Morgan Lumby(1) and Oliver Roberts(2) who both put in some big runs and some excellent drives. It was a good game to watch for both home and away parents. Man of match was Harry Jones for his amazing tackles and for always being in the right place at the right time. WELL DONE TEAM

COLWYN BAY UNDER 9S TACKLE TEAM

COLWYN BAY  4    PWLLHELI  6

Pwllheli travelled to the bay. Their captain Gwilym McCann led out the bay. Pwllheli won the toss and started the game off, they came straight at the bay with a strong pack of forwards, the bay were caught on the back foot and for the first six minutes of the game were defending their touch line giving the bay no room to move, during this Pwllheli managed to score three tries. The bay regrouped and kept their heads up and with grit and determination managed to score a try. Pwllheli came straight back to score making the score at half time 4-1.

The second half of the game, the bay came out with a different game plan, which seemed to work. Three of our forwards Archie Feathers, Oliver Roberts and Morgan Lumby set about blasting holes in Pwllheli' s defence, with some good pop passes and straight forward runs gathering the oppositions players, making spaces for the bay to run threw, this led to 3 excellent tries for the bay. Bringing the score to 6-4. The try scorers for the bay were Aled Bysouth (1) and Morgan Lumby (3) who also got man of the match for the Rhyl game last week.

Colwyn bays performance was outstanding in the second half coming back from 4-1 down to dominate the game, I feel that if there was more time in the game it would have been a different outcome. Man of the match goes to the whole team for an excellent all-round performance.

Colwyn Bay U8’s   2 tries

Pwllheli U8’s    10 tries

Pwllheli blew Colwyn Bay away in the first half of the first game. Some well organized play by the strong Pwllheli team resulted in some terrific ball handling with the mainly under strength Bay team trailing in their wake. There are some lessons that the Bay youngsters should take from the visitors but in true Colwyn Bay style, they stemmed the flow in the second half. Some strong running from Harry Harral and Liam Weatherson lead to the Bay putting in a stronger effort in the second half. Rhodri Davies made some impressive darting runs along the touchline and the second half ended 4 tries to 2 to the visitors. Try scorers for the Bay Boys came from Bryn Johnson and Harry Harral.  The Bay also had a try disallowed for not grounding the ball properly.

Colwyn Bay U8’s   6

Pwllheli U8’s   7

By the time the second game started the sun had warmed up the hosts which was reflected in the performance in this highly enjoyable second game. Both teams were now fluid with some great tagging coming from each. Colwyn Bay were first to score with a try from Rhodri Davies. This seemed to stimulate his team into action. The second try came from strong running and great support play culminating in a score from Liam Weatherson. Pwllheli retaliated with two scores of their own showing some of the best support play witnessed at Brookfield Drive by such young players. The half time score reflected equal passages of play at 4 tires a piece. The second half was a much tidier affair with Pwllheli pulling away with two tries. However the Bay kept their heads with 2 tries coming from Rhodri Davies, a cracking run from Josef McAlinden ending in a selfless pass to allow Rhodri in for his 3^rd score. Micheal Probert could not smiling, once again after scoring his try yet it was not quite enough for the Bay to overcome the 7 tries that Pwll had put passed them.

11th February 2007

Colwyn Bay U8’s 7 tries Rhyl U8’s 4 tries

Both hosts and visitors were spoilt with a warm day of sunshine as the Bay lay welcomed Rhyl RUFC. The first of two games proved to be an open affair and each team were matched well against each other. However the quick ball from penalties proved once again, to be the deciding factor for the Colwyn Bay team. This along with some excellent passing from the bay and tremendous organisation of the line helped ease them to a 4tries to 2 first half lead. The Bay did not have it all their own way as Rhyl took advantage with some exceptional open play with two particular runs down the line which seemed to stimulate the Bay into action.  Man of the Match Josef McAlinden provided not only a brace of tries but the great support play off the ball was noted by the officials. Indeed the whole team should have been awarded the men of the match with the way they played 

In the second game Rhyl came out of the blocks firing on all cylinders. They scored a scintillating try with a run down the left flank of the pitch, dancing precariously close to the touch line. Colwyn Bay responded after exerted pressure but the tagging from both teams was exceptional. Indeed this was the first time that the referee had counted two turnover plays, one for each team. Bay responded with a typical weaving run from Mike Caldwell, starting from his own line and finishing well in the Rhyl corner. Both teams had tries disallowed for either not staying on the feet or not grounding the ball correctly but this did not decry from open play with the pleasure of seeing the ball being passed so freely by both teams. A fair result of two tries apiece.

U9 COLWYN BAY  3    NANT CONWY  4

Colwyn bay played away at Llangefni in a three way fixture and their first match was against a strong and well disciplined Nant Conwy. The bay was lead out by their captain Aled Bysouth who won the toss giving the bay possession of the ball.

As soon as the whistle went to start the game, both teams got stuck in with some spectacular tackling; this made both sides having to work hard to gain possession of the ball. The forwards were setting up some big drives and gaining possession of the ball, which was passed out to the backs but due to the tackling we were hitting a wall of defenders. The first try came from one of the bays big forwards Oliver Roberts who managed to smash his way through the defence and ran half the pitch to score the first try. Nant came straight back with some excellent passing and some good support play gaining them an equalising try. The dying minutes of the first half Nant Conwy put the bay under pressure by scoring a second try. The bay came out in the second half and was not fazed by this and stepped the game up leading to Oliver’s 2^nd try which was supported by Morgan Lumby and Bradley Reid. Matthew Glenn was true to form and with his fast feet and sidestepping managed to find gaps and score. Both sides put in a great performance, which was exciting for all to watch. At the final play of the game the score was 3-3. The bay were at Nant s touch line and were tring to ground the ball but Nant stood their ground and managed to steel the ball with a great miss pass to one of the backs managed to find some space and ran the length of the pitch to score the final try of the game. This was a great team effort and everyone was involved. WELL DONE TEAM.

U9 COLWYN BAY  8    LLANGEFNI  2

The second game the Bay was up against Llangefni, due to injury and lack of numbers the Bay had to lend them some players. It was a different game altogether, the Bay was well organised and all their plays were paying off with tries coming from Brayden Harding(1) Aled Bysouth (2) Morgan Lumby(4)  Oliver Roberts (1) and Ross Daniels (1).They were not giving Llangefni any room to move as soon as Llangefni gained possession they were tackled, and the bay was turning the ball over. There was some excellent tackling coming from Harri Jones, Gwilym McCann, Neve Prosser and Clayton White, Jacob Rogers. It was a big day for Archie Feathers who for his first time got his boots dirty for the bay (would not of thought it WELL DONE)Man of the match for both games for his all-round performance which was outstanding goes to Oliver Roberts.

Bangor U8’s 6 Colwyn Bay U8’s 14

Colwyn Bay youth team took the scenic route to Bangor on a cold and crisp February morning. With the sun’s warmth aiding in their preparation whilst they waited for their hosts the Under 8’s took advantage to put some training into action.  This bolstered their on field performance and in the first of 2 games they took control with some dynamic play. Of note were Anthony Marshall, for his searching runs which helped him secure a brace of tries, Luke Simmons for his courage in taking tags from the Bangor team and Liam for scoring 6 tries.  All this was a tribute to the team for taking heed of taking quick ball and some superb support play. This is what contributed to the election of Josef ….being confirmed Man of the Match. This was his reward for seizing the opportunities of scoring tries (celebrated by his trademark “fly-by” mimicry) but also for his consistent “tagging and support play.

The second game proved to be a challenge for the next group of Colwyn Bay Under 8’s. Hampered by a string of strong and commendable weaving runs from the Bangor team, the Bay were having to fight from a 4 try to nothing score line within the first quarter of the game.  However fuelled by the determined spirit that is now evolving within the team they fought back.  And what a fight back the spectators were to feast upon. Consistent support play from Bryn ….. who buddied up on a number of occasions with William were a joy for the coaching staff to see. Sterling work from Alex … and a first try for Michael (who couldn’t stop grinning) were acknowledged. However a special mention must go to new boy Peter …..A turn of pace which stunned most of his team mates and one of the best “tags” to have been taken that morning, with a cross field chase culminating in a stupendous dive to grasp the Bangor attacking players’ tag, 10yards from the Bay’s try line was, well, quite awesome. This was not enough to stem the Bangor Boys but the 9 tries to 8 tries was a justifiable score that should encourage this up and coming team.

Llandudno U9 vs Colwyn Bay U9 

Colwyn Bay were not warmed sufficiently by the autumn sun to stop a strong and impressive Llandudno team in the first of 2 games.  Although Llandudno had pressed their advantage on a number of occasions through a gruelling first half with some electrifying breaks, Colwyn Bay improved in the second half to ensure a closer contest. Of particular note were Harry Morgan – Williams for his trademark hard tackling, Daisy Edwards for her darting runs and Oliver Roberts for his forward drives.

The second game was a far more equal contest.  The continuous thumping tackles from Harry Morgan-Williams coupled with some equally forceful hits from Morgan Lumby ensured that the Bay were not going to be a pushover the second time round. Matthew Glenn showed some inventive running with more and more supportive play from the team as a whole. Oliver Roberts showed huge determination, with 3 opposition players clinging to his shirt tails he shoved over for a typical forward try thus cancelling out Llandudno’s first try. His spirit earned him the respect from the opposing team. The second of the Bays tries came from a cross field run from Neve Prosser having demanded the ball with a very loud call from a drive, again supplied by the forwards. The Bays heads were lifted with a third try from Mr Lumby, which brought the teams level once more but with minutes to go Llandudno’s enterprise stole 2 breakaway tries from what looked like strong mauling positions from the Seahorses. Congratulations were given to both teams for their standard of play. Man of the Match for Colwyn Bay was always going to be a tough decision for the coaching staff, but for the sheer determination of Oliver Roberts, who captained the team, the award was given to him.  The team spirit and the manner in which Colwyn Bay took the game to their local rivals, especially in the second game, should give them pride.

Under 8 tag team

COLWYN BAY 4    BANGOR 4

Bangor played the bay at home it was a well balanced game both sides pressing forward but the bay were 3-1 a head going into half time. The three tries were scored by Rhodri Davies.

The man of the match was given to the whole team for their all round performance and big effort. It was a very good game to watch and every one enjoyed it WELL DONE TEAM

Under 9 tackle

Colwyn Bay showed determined effort against a big and powerful Pwllheli under 9’s team.  If the game had been scored on tackles alone the Bay side would have strolled it but unfortunately the tries all came from a well-drilled Pwllheli team.  Excellent tackling from Gwilym McCann along with Matthew Glenn was the markings of Great Spirit and courage and it was this from which the youngsters should take encouragement. Support for the man with the ball gained momentum as the game progressed but this game taught the team some important lessons that will need to be taken on board for the eagerly waited derby with Llandudno in the next couple of weeks.

Under 8 tag team

Meanwhile the Under 8 tag team had equally as tough a time as the Under 9’s. In the first of 2 games some terrific running from “H” – Harry Jones produced great rugby with quick feet and side-steps which helped his team mate Joseff McAlinden to go over the line and then another try from Brayden Harding.  Concerted pressure from Pwllheli caused the away team to leak a couple of tries but a further try from Ryan Foxhall and a second by Joseff McAlinden allowed the Bay back into the game. A fourth try by Liam Weatherson was not quite enough to stop Pwllheli to a 6-5 win but it was a very encouraging game from both teams that will aid them for the next fixtures.  

In their second game, there was some great tagging from Josef, showing the way and of note was superb effort to Adam Jakeman, on his debut.  The game ended 6-5 to the home team.

The second game was against Wrexham and the bay was still fired up from beating Rhyl and scored a try within minutes, but Wrexham was no push over as they had just beaten Rhyl quite convincingly.

Anthony Marshall played a big part in setting up these tries and scoring one himself, that’s how he got man of the match, the other three tries were scored by Harri Harral(1) Liam Weatherson(1), and Michael Caldwel(1).

Colwyn bay managed to break through Newtown’s defence with grit and determination giving Gareth Mansfield the try for Colwyn bay, which had the bay 1-0 up at half time.
