Come and support Bridgend Athletic RFC U16 in their final Mini & Junior fixture the Ospreys U16 Cup Final against Gowerton U16’s at Llandarcy this Sunday April 28th k.o. 12pm.

 

The team captained by Ryan Neagle reached the final by defeating Bryncoch 19-12 on their home ground on March 10th in the semi-final. In the initial group stage of the tournament they topped their group with wins over Loughor, Tonmawr and Mumbles and a narrow defeat by Morriston. They avenged the Morriston defeat by beating them 20-0 at the quarter final stage.

 

Most of the team have been together since U7’s under the guidance of head coach Chris Thomas, Jonathon Davies and Huw Lewis. In January this season these coaches also took over as BARFC Youth Team coaches. Many of the U16’s have already experienced BARFC Youth team rugby in readiness to follow their coaches path to BARFC Youth Team rugby next season.

 

In tradition with most BARFC previous U16 and other age group sides the Ospreys have recognised the Athletic tradition of developing youngsters. Nine of the squad represented the district Ospreys and five the full combined Ospreys Regional team this season

 

Last Sunday April 21st the team competed on tour in Holland at the Annual Hilversum Tournament defeating the hosts 7-0 and a strong English Luctonian team 5-0 before unfortunately having to withdraw from the competition with 5 players injured in these two games.
