ON THE PLUS SIDE WE SAW GWYN SHOWING WHAT HE CAN DO AS HE WAS A HANDFULL FOR THE LLANRUG DEFENCE HE WAS ALSO NAMED MAN OF THE MATCH ALSO THE BREAK MUST HAVE HELPED BRIAN MATHEWS AS HE WAS SO SHARP AND RAN THROUGH OUT THE MATCH THE MIDFIELD PLAYED MUCH BETTER WITH CARON BACK TO FORM AFTER HIS BLIP LAST WEEK AND CAPTAIN JASON JONES ALSO SEEMED TO BE BACK TO FORM IT COULD WELL BE THAT BRIAN COMING BACK TO THE SIDE BROUGHT A BETTER BALANCE TO THE TEAM TO BE EDITED LATER
