The coaching clinics have been of great help to the coaches at Cardiff University and we have learnt a lot from attending the evenings.
The boys have been training hard in preparation for the match. We are the current holders so with be looking to hold on to the trophy.

We have held coaching evening throughout the region at Pontypridd RFC, Glamorgan Wanderers, Cardiff RFC, Taffs Well and Beddau and have received a great response wherever we have visited.
The coaches who attend have the opportunity to ask professional coaches questions on tactics or techniques or whatever areas they fell they need to improve on. They take a lot of knowledge back to their clubs which can only benefit the players that they coach week in week out.
