Da iawn i’r rhai Dan 10 am berfformiad arwrol yn erbyn tîm Rhymni oedd yn eithaf ‘corfforol’. Fe wnaeth y tîm dan 10 Clwb ennill oherwydd eu bod wedi chwarae fel tîm ac nid fel grwp o unigolion.

Wrth ddechrau nodi taclau da, sylwais fy mod yn nodi nifer fawr o enwau. Tydi’r tîm yma ddim yn ddibynnol ar lond llaw o daclwyr caled: fe wnaeth pawb chwarae eu rhan.

Sylwodd yr hyfforddwyr faint o daclo gwych un ar un oedd yn cymryd lle, y rhan fwyaf yn rai da (yn isel gyda gafael da foch wrth foch). Felly mae’r rhestr o’r ‘da iawn’ am daclau yr wythnos yma yn faith: Lenny, Harri D, Brychan (a da iawn ti am ddal arno wrth i un o’r chawaraewyr mawr gario ‘mlaen i redeg), Tomos W, Cian, Seth S, Twm, Tomos D, Seth J, Osian Meese (oedd ar dân gyda’i daclo), Arthur, Efan (gyda taclo gwarchodol arbennig) a Steff J. Mae’r rhestr yn un hir, ond fe wnaeth pob aelod o’r tîmn wneud ambell dacl: mae’r rhai uchod wedi eu nodi am dechneg neu amseru arbennig.

Ymlaen i rycio da, fe wnaeth Arthur, Twm, Seth S a Brychan serenu yn ardal y gwrthdaro a mynd dros y bêl.

Pasio, rhedeg a rhyngchwarae oedd yn rhoi ni arwahân i Rhymni. Roedd yna rhyngchwarae rhwng Cian a Seth J a phasio hyfryd gan Harri D, rhediadau gwych gan Arthur, Harri D, rom Harri D, Dylan (tipi toian fyny’r asgell) a Brychan. Llongyfarchiadau i Samuel am basio ynghanol y cae hefyd ac Osian C am gymryd y bêl a sicrhau fod y bêl wedi ei thirio a’i gyflwyno yn dda.

Er ein bod wedi dweud na fyddwn yn cicio, fe wnaeth Rhymni roi cic amddiffynol mewn ac fe wnaeth Seth J sioe dda o ddilyn y bêl, glanio arno a’i bigo fo fyny. Heb hynny, fe fyddai wedi bod yn gais.

Mae hefyd yn dda i weld fod rhywfaint o’r ymarferion yn ystod y sesiynnau hyfforddiant yn cae dylanwad bositif. Cafodd Seth J a Lenny eu nodi am bigo’r bêl fyny o’r llawr yn ystod symudiad cyflym.

Daeth ein ceisiadau gan Harri D (x 2), Seth J, Efan, Brychan a Lenny ac fe wnaethon ni hyd yn oed gael trosiadau gan Harri D and Steff T.

Roedd digon i ddewis ohono i fod yn “Seren y Gêm” gan gynnwys Osian Meese a Harri D ond Sêr y Gêm oedd: Seth J am ei rediadau gwych lawr yr asgell, rhediadau cynotrhwyol a darllen y gêm ac i Seth S am ei daclo diflino yn ynganol y cae a’r rycio.

Well done to the Dan10s for a gutsy performance against a somewhat confrontational Rumney side. CRCC dan 10s won essentially because they played as a team rather than a collective of individuals.

When jotting down good tackles, I was struck my how many names were being written down. There is no reliance on just a handful of hard tacklers; so many of the children put their hands up. The coaches commented on the great one-on-one tackles, most of which were well made (nice and low with a ring of steel and cheek to cheek). So, the list of well dones for tackles is long this week: Lenny, Harri D, Brychan (and well done for hanging on to one of the larger children even as he continued running), Tomos W, Cian, Seth S, Twm, Tomos D, Seth J, Osian Meese (who was on fire with this tackling), Arthur, Efan (whose cover tackles were second to none) and Steff J. You can see that that list is long and to be honest, I think every player put in a tackle or two; the ones above were just noted for excellent technique or timing.

As for good rucking, Arthur, Twm, Seth S and Brychan stood out for making sure they got to the breakdown and getting over that ball.

One of the areas which differentiated us from Rumney was our passing, running and interplay. There was some lovely interplay between Cian and Seth J and lovely passing from Harri D as well as great runs from Arthur, Harri D, Dylan (tiptoeing up the wing) and Brychan. Well done to Samuel for his passing in mid-field too and to Osian C for taking the ball on and ensuring the ball went to ground well-presented.

Despite having said that we were not going to kick, Rumney did put in one defensive kick and a big hand to Seth J for showing the initiative to chase it, fall on it and pick it up. Without him, that would have been a try.

It is also good to see that some of the training exercises we do are having an effect. Seth J and Lenny were noticed for their excellent pick ups of the ball from the floor in fast moving play.

Our tries came from Harri D (x 2), Seth J, Efan, Brychan and Lenny and we even had conversions from Harri D and Steff T.

There were many who put their hands up in the game against Rumney and could have been “Seren y Gêm” including Osian Meese and Harri D but the Ser y Gêm are: Seth J for his great wing runs, good support running and being awake and playing the game in front of him and for Seth S for his relentless tackling in the centre and for his rucking.

Ymlaen Clwb
