WRU National Youth Plate
Beddau 13 Barry RFC Youth 20

Barry are through to the last eight after a hard-fought victory at Beddau, a stubborn defensive display in the first half proving the basis for a well-deserved win.
Beddau proved a tougher test than expected. “We had to defend for the first 20 minutes,” said head coach John Dimond, “but managed to keep them out, and I was pleased we turned round just a couple of points adrift. Our defence was unbelievable. If they had been able to defend like us it would have been a much harder battle.”
Barry, playing down the slope but into the wind in the first half, squandered the few opportunities they created. “When we got our hands on the ball we kicked away opportunities, gave them the ball back and put ourselves under pressure,” said Dimond.
“The first half was nip and tuck all the way, and we nicked a try to keep us in it, but I felt we had another ten points in us, which would have made the margin of victory bigger.”
But it was different story in the second half. “Once we started spreading the ball we looked the better side, running through and creating opportunities,” he said. “Unfortunately we didn’t have our kicking boots on and left another seven points on the pitch. But we’ve come away with what we wanted, a win. We’re in the last eight.”
Possible local opponents in the quarter-finals include Cowbridge and St Peters. Haverfordwest look likely favourites for the competition. Unbeaten in the Pembrokeshire League, they have put more than 50 points on each of their opponents in the first two rounds of the Plate.
Barry: tries – Caelan Hurley, Tyler Reinholdt, penalty try; pen – Hurley.
Barry are organising a friendly against St Albans, a chance for the 16s and 17s players to get some game time before the Christmas break. The match is scheduled for the Reservoir Field on Saturday (1pm).

Admiral National League Division 1 East Central
Penarth 33 Barry RFC 47
Barry dashed Penarth’s hopes of going into Christmas at the top of the division, scoring seven tries in Saturday’s local derby at the Athletic Field as they took revenge for a heavy defeat by The Bears on the opening day of the season.
It was, said head coach Mike Morgan, “a complete performance, really strong. All we have been doing in defence, in attack, worked really well. We changed a few things in our game plan from an attacking perspective, and it really paid dividends.”
Penarth, second in the table behind St Joseph’s, and the division’s leading try scorers, were hot favourites to complete the double over the Bombers. “But they also bleed tries,” said Morgan, “so as long as we could stop them scoring, we would be in control.
“We contained them defensively and were able to play some great rugby and score some fantastic tries. And the scoreline would have looked more impressive if we hadn’t made a couple of mistakes that gifted them tries.”
In a lengthy, injury-interrupted first half, Barry reached the vital four-try bonus point target after 30 minutes of play. Morgan has been stressing the importance of picking up at least a try-scoring bonus from every game, crucial for the league position. On Saturday they took five points.
The bulk of the 12 tries in the game came in the first half. “In the second half we got on top and were in control, and in the last ten minutes, at 47-33, Penarth pressed, but our defence was as good as it had been at the start,” said Morgan.
“Penarth weren’t complacent, they came out to beat us. A win would have taken them top and given them bragging rights in a local derby. But we played exactly as I would want us to play. We minimised the errors, but emphasised the positive aspects of what we can do. It was everything we have been working towards, a performance filled with pride and passion.”
Barry have now scored 29 tries in ten games, an improvement on last season’s 31 tries in 20 games, and the team – 11 of the starting line-up, including five of the pack, were under 22 – are a young side maturing quickly. “We are not the finished article yet,” said Morgan, “and our feet are firmly on the ground.”
Barry: tries – Aled Rees 2, Dafydd Jones 2, Rhys Forse 2, Flynn Baker; conv – Jack Davies 6.
Barry’s next league fixture is at Rhydyfelin on January 4.
