Wrexham’s mini rugby programme was wiped out on Sunday due to waterlogged pitches at Ruthin, but it was a different story at Bryn Estyn Road where the Wrexham Under 14’s and 13’s achieved creditable victories over Nant Conwy.

The Under 14’s won by 17 – 15 thanks to tries by Rob Evans, Daffyd Joseph, and Meredydd Francis plus an all important conversion from Tom Robinson. The game was as close as the score suggests, and it was the excellent combined play between the home forwards and backs which won the day for the home side. There were also some great individual performances from Man of the Match Shaun Ferrari at prop and Aron Davies at scrum-half.

Wrexham Under 13’s triumphed over Nant Conwy by 17 – 5, their tries coming from Lewis Wynne, Rhys Williams and  Russell Jones with a conversion by Ed Evans. This was an even contest between two very committed teams. Wrexham had the edge in the backs and scored all of their tries by moving the ball wide. Outside-half George Stanyard added an extra dimension to the game with his excellent distribution of the ball to the home threequarters.

Week Ending Fri. 30th Nov.

All MINI Rugby games at Ruthin this Sunday have been cancelled due to waterlogged pitches. Can parents check with coaches to confirm if training will take place instead.

Week Ending Fri. 23rd Nov                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   WREXHAM MINI AND JUNIOR RESULTS – SUN 18^th NOVEMBER 2007                                                                                                                                                                                               In mini and junior rugby, there was plenty of action at Bryn Estyn Road on Sunday as Wrexham took on their local rivals Mold.

The Under 14’s lost to the visitors by 0 – 36, but this was not as one-sided a match as the scoreline suggests. Wrexham put in a great all round team performance with some excellent individual plays by Callum Gwatkin and Tom Robinson against a Mold side that proved to be stronger and better drilled on the day.

Wrexham Under 10’s played two games against Mold, losing the first game by 2-8 on tries but managing a creditable 2-2 draw in the second game. The home side’s slow start in the first game left them 1-5 in arrears at the break, but they played better in the second session, scoring another try but still letting in another three touchdowns.
In the second game a much improved team performance saw Wrexham set up a number of powerful driving mauls that tied in the Mold forwards. Good handling led to the ball being moved across the pitch, opening up gaps for the Wrexham runners to grab two tries. Mold always looked dangerous when they had the ball in hand and deservedly levelled with two scores of their own. Wrexham scorers were Ben Martin (2), Ben Jones and Rhys Jenkins. The Man of the Match award was shared between Ben Martin, who put in a series of tackles as well as scoring, and Tyler Roberts who tackled excellently and was at the heart of most of the rucks and mauls in both games.

Wrexham Under 9’s delivered a scintillating all-round team performance, whitewashing Mold by 10-0 in their first game before easing to a 9-3 victory in the second contest. A series of blistering attacks and fine tackling led to tries by captain Armarni Roberts (6), Cameron Allen (2) and Blake Turner (2) in the first match. The second game saw fine running from both teams with Armarni Roberts grabbing another six tries and Allen, Turner and Josh Hallem notching one apiece.

The Under 8's beat Mold by 7-6 in their first game and by 8-7 in the second contest. Scorers were Will Smith (7), Xan Filler (3), Joe Parry (3), Tom Jenkins and Matthew Jones. Man of the Match was Joe Parry.
