Fixture

Having lost their last two league matches, Teirw returned to winning ways in League 2 North with this good win against Abergele.

Teirw made most of the initial running and could, and perhaps should, have scored in the opening exchanges. Unfortunately, stray or dropped passes meant these early opportunities were spurned. This encouraged Abergele to come more into the match and it was they who then began to dominate though Teirw did have their incursions into the Abergele half. It was following such an incursion that the home side took the lead. A promising move broke down and from the resuling penalty, Gethin Roberts put Nant ahead by three points just before the half hour mark. 

This settled the team and a few minutes later they increased their lead. A turnover ball inside their own half was passed to Roberts who cruised in from 50 metres. His conversion put Teirw 10 points up.

As the half was drawing to a close, a centre break saw Will Richardson go from just outside his own 22 to the opposite 22 before being stopped. Several phase then saw the ball moved out to the right where Richardson took the pass and go in at the corner. This gave Teirw a 15 point half time advantage.

The second half began with Teirw claiming their third try. A break down the right wing saw a kick ahead. Roberts gathered the awkward bounce and went over between the posts. His conversion increased the lead to 22 - 0.

The lead was increased to 29 - 0 when the ball was ripped from an Abergele player and which saw Teirw back on the attack. The ball was eventually moved to Steffan Horan who burst over from close range. Roberts added the conversion.

Abergele got their first try with 20 minutes left. A penalty for offside on Teirw's 5 metre line was tapped and the rucks and mauls saw the try eventually scored between the posts. The conversion was duly added.

Teirw restored the points advantage following a flowing mid-field move. The move was halted short of the line  but the subsequent rucks saw the ball moved to the opposite side of the pitch where Gethin Vaughan went over for the try, converted be Roberts.

Abergele were not done though and came back with two converted tries in the last few minutes to give the final score of 36 - 21.
