CAERNARFON 68 Llanidloes 5

TOP against bottom ended predictably as Llanidloes were swallowed under an avalanche of tries against unbeaten leaders Caernarfon.
No8 Rhys Evans crossed for a hat-trick of tries as Caernarfon ran riot against Dave Higgs' youthful side.

Higgs said: “We always knew it would be a difficult match because Caernarfon have a strong front line and dynamic back row.

“Despite the defeat we will find some positives and recharge the batteries during the forthcoming break.”

Scrum-half Tristan Gwilym also crossed for two tries, while second row Mark Vaughn and wing Llion Williams shared four tries for Caernarfon.

Further tries from flanker Dewi Williams and outside-half Kelvin Roberts were supplemented with a penalty try.

Roberts completed the rout with four conversions, while fly-half Huw Owen scored a late consolation try for the outclassed visitors.
