Rhyl & District RUFC 1st XV  40 - 18 Flint RFC 1st XV  

The score didn’t justify how good Flint played. They were quite easily the better side in the first 20 minutes, scoring an intercepted unconverted try in the first 2 minutes. Rhyl showed how game rusty they were.  It was all Flint for the 20 minutes until a well worked try from Rhyls number eight Dale Blackmore was converted by Ben Syme. The Rhyl side woke up and minutes later scored another try from a well worked move by the backs with Damon Price going over in the corner. This was unconverted.

      Flint responded straight away with a converted try. The game was played from end to end, both sides looking threatening.  Lack of discipline from Flint gave Rhyl a penalty, converted by Ben Syme. Rhyl went into the break 15-12 ahead.

         Straight from kick off Rhyl scored another try from full back Tom Jones.  Flint carried on the fight and were rewarded by a converted penalty, then on the hour, Damon Price scored his second try followed by a penalty, converted again by Syme. Flint came back yet again with a converted penalty, this made Rhyl fight harder resulting in two quick tries from Reeve Wright and prop Sam Wainwright, the last one converted by Syme.

      Conwy Land Rover, who sponsor the North Wales Cup, gave Man of the Match to lock Ashley Brown, as he made some great runs.
