WRU Age Grade

WRU Age Grade under 18 Championship

Gemma James | 02/12/2008

Tomorrow night’s round of games in the WRU Age Grade under 18 Championship will go a significant way to deciding who will battle it out in the final of this season’s competition.

And though the Scarlets currently top the table, defeat for them at the Dragons this evening will once again throw wide open the race for qualification.

Newbridge is the venue for the first against second game, kick off 7.15, whilst the Blues have switched their game against the Ospreys from Pontypridd’s Sardis Road ground to the Ely Memorial Ground, home of Glamorgan Wanderers (7.15).

Both games have been brought forward from next Wednesday due to a clash with a colleges’ competition in England at which many of the regional players will be appearing.

Blues manager Gafyn Cooper said; “You only have to look at the table to see how close competition has been this season.

“It promise to go right to the wire and we are just glad to be still in there with a chance.”

The Dragons, who were celebrating the under 20 crown two weeks ago, are hoping that home advantage will enable them to move closer to the Scarlets and to avenge their 38-18 defeat earlier in the season.

However, the Scarlets will be in no mood to relinquish their advantage at the top and could secure a place in the final if they bag a bonus point win and other results go in their favour.

Dragons: N Williams; M Jolly, J Dabiels, L Robling, A Norton; J Merriman, D Newlands, R Jones, T Rusga, A Yule, R Wilson, T Crandon (capt), G Rogers, G Jones, G Evans
