Ruthless Keys crush Bedwas

Ruthless Keys crush Bedwas

A dominant performance by the Cross Keys laid the foundations for an emphatic win for the visitors as Bedwas crashed to a 18-50 defeat at a sunny Bridgefield.

Keys took the lead after two minutes and didn’t look back. A clearing penalty kick to the corner saw the line out secured and Scott Matthews driven over for an unconverted try.

Bedwas hit back via a Richard Powell penalty followed by a try from Mathew John following a good passing through both forwards and backs; Powell adding the extras.

However, four minutes later after Andrews’ drive was stopped just short of the line by some good defensive play, Powell powered over for the visitors’ second try – converted by Davies.

Keys extended their lead in the 32nd minute and this time Andrews wasn’t going to be denied, picking the ball up and dancing his way past a couple of attempted challengers to the line with Davies converting.

And the bonus point was secure less than a minute later after some good work by outside half Josh Prosser and he offloaded to Davies for an easy dart home, before once again adding the extras.

Just before half time another quick Keys breakaway put the game effectively beyond Bedwas as Ethan Davies added his sides’ fifth try, his conversion putting his side 36-10 ahead.

Bedwas made a mass of substitutions at the start of the second half but had given themselves far too much to do. The cause was not aided by a sin binning for Brynley Toms for a line out offence but Bedwas pulled a try back on 64 minutes through replacement wing Andy Evans, Powell converting.

Keys were in no mood to surrender and late scores by Garrett and Lampard secured an emphatic win for the visitors.

Bedwas will hope to put this disappointment behind them as they visit Rodney Parade, Newport next Saturday (kick off 2-30pm).
