Rugby Union: Denbigh 2nds have a lot to do in cup

Sep 24 2008 by Dave Jones, Denbigh Visitor

WREXHAM 2NDS 37 DINBYCH 2NDS 27

CLWYD RUGBY UNION CUP FIRST LEG

SHOWING seven enforced changes from the previous week Dinbych found themselves out-muscled by a heavier Wrexham pack and ultimately crashed to defeat.

David Perkins kicked an early penalty for the visitors, but Wrexham hit back with two tries, a penalty and conversion. Fly-half Dan Mars-Jones replied for Dinbych with a fine try which Perkins improved to cut the deficit to 15-10 at the break.

First blood in the second half went to Wrexham before full-back George Owen’s pace brought the visitors an unconverted score. From here, however, the hosts built a decisive 32-15 lead.

Mars-Jones broke through three tackles for an excellent individual try, Perkins converting, but the home team then added a crucial touchdown.

To Dinbych’s credit they refused to give up and a quick tap and burst from scrum-half Phil Morris brought an unconverted try to bring the score to 37-27 and which may yet prove vital.

The teams meet in the second leg at Caeau Les Phillips on October 18.
