Dolgellau 71 Wrexham 5

Wrexham slumped to a 5-71 defeat at Division Two leaders Dolgellau, but at least they managed to register their first score of the year and also showed some improvement in the early stages of the match. The visitors competed well against a strong Dolgellau side on their home ground and, although the league leaders hot top form quickly to establish a 15-0 lead, Wrexham came roaring back with an unconverted try to get themselves back in the game.That try came from prop Nick Perrin who was appearing in his 123rd senior game and crashed over from a rolling maul that had started at a line-out. The conversion failed and, although the visitors tried to secure another score, Dolgellau possessed too much class overall and pulled away with a hatful of tries in the final quarter. New second-row Mike Mawyer had an outstanding debut when he came on as a replacement in the first-half and looks set to make his mark in forthcoming matches.
