Gan ystyried nad oedd dyfarnwr na gorchuddion ar gyfer y pyst gyda ni ar un adeg, roedd hwn yn fore arbennig o llwyddiannus.

Neil Cole atebodd yr SOS gydag allwedd ar gyfer yr ystafelloedd newid lle roedd y gorchuddion wedi cael eu cuddio; tra i gyn-gefnwr y tîm cyntaf (amser maith maith yn ôl) Huw Davies ddiosg ei ‘Dryrobe’ a gafael mewn chwiban i ddyfarnu gêm fywiog. Diolch bois.

Goroesodd y Dan 13 ddechrau cystadleuol i agor bwlch sylweddol o 35-6 ar yr egwyl. Sgoriwyd y ceisiau o ganlyniad i drafod slic yn lledu’r bêl, a rhedeg cryf at galon amddiffyn y Tyrchs.

Fe wnaeth yr ymwelwyr ymateb ar ôl troi, tra i CRCC wneud newidiadau cyson er mwyn sicrhau bod pob chwaraewr yn mwynhau amser gwerthfawr ar y cae i ddangos eu doniau.

56-29 oedd y sgôr terfynol, a cheisiau Clwb yn cael eu sgorio gan Rhydian (6) a Harry (2). Gydag anel berffaith, llwyddodd Dan a Gruff Daf gyda phob cynnig am drosiad.

Roedd hi’n arbennig o foddhaol i weld perfformiad amddiffynol styfnig gan bawb, ac ymdrech amlwg i gadw’r bêl yn fyw gyda dwylo melfedaidd greodd argraff ar hyfforddwyr y gwrthwynebwyr. Cafodd symudiad ‘Wcráin’ o’r lein ei gwblhau’n llwyddiannus hyd yn oed.

Diolch yn olaf i bob un chwaraeodd am gyfnod dros Bentyrch heddiw - mae cynrychioli'r gwrthwynebwyr wastad yn brofiad da sy'n magu cymeriad.

Byddwn ni wrthi eto ddydd Sul nesa’ yn St Peters cyn croesawi Nant Conwy wythnos yn ddiweddarach.

…

Considering that we were missing a referee and post protectors first thing, this morning turned out very well indeed.

Neil Cole answered the SOS with the most Holy Grail of Clwb artefacts - a key for the changing rooms where aforementioned protectors had been stashed; while former first-team flyer (a long time ago) Huw Davies ditched his Dryrobe for a whistle, and took charge of a lively contest. Thanks gents.

The Dan 13 weathered a competitive start to open a substantial 35-6 half time lead. Tries came through a combination of slick handling pushing the ball wide, and some strong direct running at the heart of the Tyrchs defence.

The visitors responded with a bright spell after the break, while CRCC rang the changes ensuring that every player enjoyed valuable time on the park to show their talents.

It ended 56-29, with Clwb’s tries scored by Rhydian (6) and Harry (2). Dead-eye pair Dan and Gruff Daf slotted every single conversion attempt.

It was particularly pleasing to see a stubborn defensive performance across the board, and a concerted effort to keep the ball alive with velvet hands which weren’t lost on the visitors’ coaches. We even witnessed the ‘Ukraine’ crack-move from a lineout being executed successfully.

Thanks finally to all those who spent a period playing for Pentyrch today - it's always a good character-building experience to turn out for the opposition.

We go again against St Peters on Sunday before welcoming Nant Conwy a week later.

Ymlaen!
