5 minutes later, Bethesda’s lively prop, Paul Thomas scored a try and Long’s conversion gave the visitors a 19 points to 18 lead.

Llangefni were awarded another penalty around the half way line but the kick was moved 10 meters closer to the posts following Bethesda’s poor discipline. The kick was successful and the score moved to 21 points to 19.

Following a good period of pressure from the Bethesda forwards, the ball was moved to wing Rhys Jones who scored a fine try converted by Long.
