Wrexham Anglo Welsh Tournament

Runners Up

Ruthin U 12’s marked the end of a fantastic season by coming runners up in the Anglo Welsh Tournament on April 25th. Rising to the occasion the team played cohesive attacking rugby to win every one of their group games against Wrexham, Colwyn Bay, Nant Conway and Harrogate. Top of their group meant a tough semi final fixture against Bethesda which kept supporters on the edge of their seats until Huw Sadler crossed the line making the game safe. Ruthin’s efforts in reaching the final seem to then be their undoing. An extremely impressive York side exposed Ruthins fatigued players and ran in a final score of 28 – 0, Ruthin’s first defeat after a run of 16 wins. After the game Ruthins supporters voted Nathan Jones as man of the Tournament for his superb attacking play from fly half and ‘laser guided’ accuracy with the boot.

The final event of the season will be the end of season awards and BBQ at Cae Ddol on May 16th. Boys will also have a chance to avenge their Dublin loss to the Dads team in a game of tag…..


Denbigh U12's

Score Ruthin 17 Denbigh 10

On a hot day, and a hard pitch, at Cae Ddol Ruthin ground out a superb win against local rivals Denbigh. Going behind to an uncoverted try in the first half, good forward pressure led to a classic opportunist try from George Keefe before the break. The second half saw Ruthin dig deep in a physical battle upfront. However they went behind to another well worked try by Denbighs backs after a pause to the game through an eye watering injury to Ruthin Number 8, Harry Buntrock. Ruthin struck back through a drive for the line by the forwards with pack leader Owain Jones crossing the whitewash. Not to be outdone, Ruthins backs started hitting the ball at pace with Nathan Jones going close but Geraint Lawrence crossing the line for the winning try, converted by Nathan Jones. A great result and perfect warm up for the upcoming Wrexham Anglo Welsh Tournament on the 25th April.

Llandudno U12's

Score Ruthin 38 Llandudno 12

Ruthin extended their unbeaten run to 10 games with a hard fought win over Llandudno at Cae Ddol. Llandudno proved tough competitors, scoring early with Ruthin battling back to 12 - 12 at half time. Some classic flanker darting runs by Rees Darvil producing 2 tries and a lung busting run from the halfway line by Second Row Harry Buntrock marked a gritty second half performance from the Ruthin forwards. The forwards dominance also meant more possession for the backs with tries from Nathan Jones, Geraint Lawrence and 'prop turned winger' George Keefe. 4 conversions from Nathan Jones rounded off a superb team performance.

TEAM TOUR 2010 - Dublin

Score Ruthin 59 Barnhall 5

Ruthin extended their unbeaten run to 9 games with a free-flowing brand of support rugby that the Irish side couldn’t cope with. Tries from Geraint Lawrence (2), twins Ifan & Iestyn Davies (2 each), George Keefe, Kieran Smith &
Nathan Jones (who also kicked 7 conversions) capped off a fantastic weekend for the boys who all performed fantastically well & had been great ambassadors for Wales & Ruthin with their conduct over the weekend.

Having narrowly lost a tense warm-up game of touch rugby against their Dads on Saturday night (before being chased
from St Stephen’s Green by the Park-keeper), the boys produced their best performance of the season & were
too physical for their hosts – who are due to come to Ruthin for a return fixture on April 10th.

Overall a fantastic experience for the boys & a result that it would be great for Wales to repeat next weekend 

 

Llanidloes Tournament - Sept 2009

The Boys at the Llanidloes U12s tournament in Sept - a good start to the season with 2 out of 3 wins. Unfortunately not enough to progress to the semi finals...

Ruthin School hosted the U12 and U13s mixed team vs Llangefni on Sunday 6th Dec.  The boys notched up a very impressive 55 - 0 win.  The team sends best wishes and a big get well soon to Coire Griffin who broke his leg playing for the U14s.
