SEASON 2006 - 07
The Team that played the last game of the season
SATURDAY MAY 5th
Asda League Division 5 North
BRO FFESTINIOG 55 - BANGOR 7
Played on a pitch resembling a golf bunker with uncontested scrums Bangor were well beaten by 9 tries to 1. Bangor were just about on top for the first ten minutes thanks to several penalties in their favour and then Bro discovered Bangor were reluctant to tackle or even make body contact in the back division and they ran in two tries in quick succession followed by a steady stream of scores throughout the rest of the game. Bangor did have a good share of the ball from the pack who did well in the line outs and rucks. Their only try came from centre Iwan Jones with a good chip overhead and chase to the line. Captain Mathew Baston converted. Bangor often resulted to kicking but too often the ball went straight to the opposition who ran it back at them and broke the defence all too easily. Bangor stemmed the flow of tries to 4 in the second half mainly due to some great work by forwards Kevin Roberts, Mark Pritchard and Ruben Owen who put themselves around the field chasing down their opponents. The team ended the season in good spirit despite the heavy loss and must be congratulated in seeing the club through another difficult season.

SATURDAY APRIL 28th
Asda League Division 5 North
WELSHPOOL 45 - BANGOR 8
On a scorching April afternoon Bangor travelled to Mid Wales and were outscored seven tries to one by the men from Powys. Trailing by 26 - 8 at the interval it did not look a forlorn conclusion as there were several positives in their game. Matthew Baston did touch down only for the try to be disallowed for a previous offence. Their much deserved try, from close range, coming from Mark Pritchard back in the side after a long absence through injury. Baston, the captain, added 3 points from a well struck penalty just before half time. The far more experienced Powys outfit were however dominant in the second period and added a further 3 good tries, a couple from long range to end their season on a high. Welshpool's scorers were Mark Williams (2) Tim Sherratt (2) Alan Williams , Rees Roberts & Tom Worthy.
SATURDAY APRIL 21st
Asda League Division 5 North
BANGOR 21 - RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG 19

Bangor last won a league match in March 2005 so this win has been a long time coming. In the end the difference was only one two point conversion but what an important two points it was. Rhos had a heavy pack of forwards and with the wind at their backs they kept Bangor under the cosh for the first 25 minutes trying to steam roll their way over the try line but Bangor held out and then turned the tide. With some ball coming their way they pushed play into the visitor half and were awarded a penalty. Captain Mathew Baston took a quick tap and went in for a try that he converted to give to home side a 7 - 0 lead. Not to be outdone Rhos turned a tap penalty into a rolling maul and powered their way over for an unconverted try awarded to Dafydd Rowland. The game was held up for a while when Bangor's veteran full back Bleddyn Butt sustained a severe knee injury and had to go to hospital. This put a dampener on proceedings for the remainder of the first half.
Bangor started the second half in a winning mood and although their scrums were being decimated by the visitors they put up a strong defence with outside half Dafydd Roberts upending opponents twice his size and the flankers stopped any sniping around the scrum from Rhos' back row. Bangor increased their lead with a great try from inside centre Tom Bradfield who chipped over the defence and was first to drop on the ball. Baston's conversion gave Bangor a comfortable lead but when Bangor let Kelvin Brian waltz through the centre without laying a finger on him followed by a successful conversion from Simon Hughes, Rhos were right back in the game. Although still receiving a battering in the scrums, Bangor's forwards Gruff Tudor and Kevin Roberts were actively disrupting their play and so Bangor were able to get some ball to the back division and centre Gethin Jones showed some pace powering through for Bangor's third try. Baston's conversion proved to be vital as the last period saw Rhos get a second wind and end the game as they started with some enormous rolling mauls and this time No.8 Carl Zolman got down the blind side for a try and with the conversion from Hughes the deficit was only two points. With seconds left and despite a bit of panic in the ranks, Bangor finally got the ball off the opponents and into touch and the final whistle signalled a historic victory.
