Match Report Crumlin v Hafodyrynys

Hafodyrynys made the short journey to play Crumlin at the Kay Field in one of the closest derbies in Welsh rugby with the grounds only a mile apart and were pleased to see centre Craig Jones return to the Hafod's colours.  The Rams started the game strongly with No8 Kyle Griffiths smashing his way thru the Crumlin players and setting the tone for a strong Hafod performance.
The Rams 1st try came after a catch and drive and Kyle Griffiths emerged from under from the pile of bodies with the ball to claim the try.  Good lineout work by Daniel Crandon and excellent scrummaging ensured a stream of good ball for the Hafod's backs to use but it was prop Huw Morgan whose superb pass to put his wing away was one of the highlights of the first half.  The Rams 2nd try came after sustained pressure and a Rob Smith underhand pass put centre Jeremy Parsons under the posts and Josh Morgan converted to leave the score 12-0
The Hafod rounded off a great half with the try of the game, as the ball was put across the backline and a flick pass by Craig Jones put his fellow centre Jeremy Parsons into space and the centre showed good pace to to outstrip the Crumlin defence to score and it was converted by Josh Morgan half time score 19-0
The second half was much closer affair with Crumlin coming into the game more and as the game wore on it seemed that the elusive 4th try for the bonus point which the performance deserved would elude The Hafod but maybe the sight of club stalwart Chris Wall coming on as a replacement on the wing inspired The Rams and it was lovely pass from Chris Wall that set up the final try which was scored by Kyle Griffiths for his second of the game.
With what turned out to be the last kick of the game,Josh Morgan kicked a penalty to leave the final score 27-0
