DIVISION ONE – MARCH 16, 2022

Penygroes Primos 35-31 Dolgellau
(10-4; 21-14; 26-20; 35-31)

Although leaders Primos led all the way through this one they had to withstand a strong comeback from Dolgellau in the second half.

Penygroes took the first 10-4, but only just edged quarter two 11-10 to lead 21-14 at the midway stage.

Dolgellau actually won the last two sessions, 6-5 and 11-9, but Primos had built up too big an advantage to be caught. Nonetheless, a great contest.

(6-6; 11-10; 18-17; 28-21)

Porthmadog needed a big last quarter win to see off the battling Cymric.

Entering the final session, Port were just one up at 18-17, but then dominated the curtain-closer 10-4 to run out more convincing winners than perhaps expected after those first three tight ones.
