Canton RFC 33 – 12 Gilfach Goch RFC

Gilfach left frustrated after difficult afternoon in Canton

Gilfach Goch RFC endured a frustrating afternoon on the road as they went down 33–12 to Canton RFC, in a match that saw the visitors finish with plenty of questions surrounding both their own performance and the standard of officiating.

The afternoon got off to the worst possible start for Gilfach, with Canton taking advantage of a slow opening to cross for two tries inside the opening ten minutes, adding a conversion to establish a 12–0 advantage. The second try was awarded after centre Riley Cope looked to have done a tremendous try saving tackle and dislodging the ball from the canton player , before it got grounded!

Gilfach needed a response and began to find their feet, with captain Isaac Pritchard providing a much-needed breakthrough on 35 minutes, crossing for a try to bring the visitors back into the contest.

At half-time, Canton held a 12–5 lead, leaving Gilfach with everything to play for.

However, the second half proved a difficult one for the visitors. Canton extended their advantage with a penalty before adding another converted try to move further ahead.

Gilfach refused to throw in the towel and showed some attacking intent when replacement ho**er Keon Evans crossed for a try with Riley Cope adding the conversion from near the touchline to reduce the deficit.

Unfortunately, any hopes of a late comeback were short-lived. Canton responded with another try before the closing stages saw further penalties and disciplinary action.

Ryan Churches and Ryan Enticott both received yellow cards within six minutes of each other, with Canton converting both opportunities into penalty goals to put the result beyond doubt.

Final score: Canton RFC 33–12 Gilfach Goch RFC.

Officiating leaves questions to be answered

While Gilfach will accept that their own performance fell below the standards they expect, the afternoon was also overshadowed by considerable frustration surrounding the match official.

A day to regroup

There is no escaping the fact that Gilfach will need to look at their own performance and address the areas that let them down.

It was a disappointing afternoon for the travelling supporters, but attention must now turn to the next fixture as Gilfach look to respond and get their campaign back on track. 💙💛
