Llanharan youth entertained Dowlais in league3 of the Cardiff blues youth leagues, llanharan started well, with their forwards getting the upper hand enabling outside half Alfie cogbill to set up his backline , both centres aj Lewis and Jesse barnes ran good angles at pace causing the opposition all kinds of problems, aj crossed the whitewash once as did free running full back jack Roderick who scored the games best try after being put into space by his centres, hard running captain ieaun Thomas used his power to cross for 2x tries, Alfie cogbill converting all 4 first half tries ., making it a well deserved 28-0 ht score,
The second half was a different story, as Dowlais came back into the game aided by poor discipline from llanharan, Dowlais scored 2 tries from a series of penalties given away by the black and blues, llanharan stopped the comeback with a try of their own with Jesse barnes crossing the line after good interlinking play by forwards and backs with evan Benjamin gliding through the gap to set up Jesse, Alfie cogbill again converting the try to make it 5 successful kicks, Dowlais fought to the end and picked up a third try right on the final whistle
