Preseli Men disappointed by late penalty try

Dunvant 19 - Crymych 15


Crymych came within three minutes of claiming the surprise result of the day as they fought their way back from a 12-point interval deficit against section leaders Dunvant to lead 15-12 but in the 77th minute the Preseli Men incurred the ire of the referee, who penalised them for a scrum offence some distance from their try line.

The Preseli Men could also consider themselves a little unlucky to be those points adrift at the interval as outside half James Davies landed four penalties for Dunvant but Crymych back rower Tom Powell had two claims for a try turned down because the match official was unsighted!

But with Guto Davies, Richard Sharp-Williams and Powell all covering well and the front row of Ifan James, Carwyn Rees and Lewis Davies grafting away in the set pieces, it was No 8 Guto Davies who claimed a close-range try for the visitors.

Outside half Rhys Davies was unable to add the extra points but slotted a penalty before converting Crymych’s second try, this time claimed by outstanding scrum half Rhodri Davies.

It seemed a three-point advantage for the Preseli Men would be enough to avenge a 27-9 home defeat by Dunvant but then came that late penalty try, followed by a James Davies conversion, that gave the table-toppers their 12th win in 14 outings, whilst Crymych had to settle for a consolation bonus point
