Ynysddu v Bettws
Atrocious weather, wind, rain and hailstones just before kick off turned a very good playing surface into one that was going to test the players skills to the limit. In the end the Dee's just failed to grab the points and start the New Year with a win, eventually going down 3 - 0. It was never going to be pretty and it was always going to be close. So on reflection a quickly taken penalty close to the Bettws posts may not have been the right decision to take, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. On the other hand the Dee's could have scored from it and then it would have been a gutsy and courageous piece of play that won the day.
Had Ynysddu been able to secure some good ball and got their hard working back-row going forward they may have snatched it, but all too often they were denied time and space by a very well organised and experienced Bettws side. Scrum half Byron Williams had a frustrating afternoon, he not only had to take scrum ball going backwards but also had to deal with poorly tapped line out ball as well. It is lucky for the Dee's he possess an abundance of strength and determination and never gives up.
There is a very good side in the making at Ynysddu and it is not far away from fruition, good results in the next three games are vital if they are to make an impression on their league position.
