Fixture

On a glorious November morning, both teams made the most of near perfect conditions to produce a thoroughly entertaining match.

Bangor were first on the score sheet as they worked a neat overlap to put Calvin Williams over for a converted try. Bridge replied with a Dion McGrath penalty soon followed by a great poachers try for Dave Williams, who intercepted a loose pass in the 22 and raced over, McGrath adding the conversion to take the score to 10 - 7. Bangor then enjoyed their best period of the match and lively number 8 Tom Yardley breached the home defence in midfield to score. This was followed by another Yardley try and the conversion from Tom Belt gave Bangor a 11 point lead at 10- 21 at half-time.

It was then Bridge's turn to rally. With the home forwards winning their battles, player coach James Wynne claimed a close range try, converted by McGrath. A high tackle gave Bangor a penalty, which Belt slotted for Bangor's final score of the match. Bridge centre Jones quickly got on the end of a pass while Bangor were napping and scored wide out. With a couple of minutes left on the clock the conversion would have tied the scores, however McGrath's fine attempt just grazed the bottom of the crossbar as it fell agonisingly short. Bangor were able to negotiate the remaining minutes safely for a fine win.

The Rybrook Land Rover Conwy Man of the Match award went to Bridge number 8 Chris Roberts for his outstanding contribution to the home cause.
