YR ADRIANAU MINIS & JUNIORS
We currently have over 175 children registered from age 6 to 16, who are regularly playing
Rugby for the club. This season saw 16 new starters in the under 7's, along with large number
of new players throughout the age groups, increasing our annual registration numbers.
Six players from the under 10's and 11’s team
represented South Powys Schools, and all
players involved did themselves proud, against
some strong district sides. This year’s under 11’s
squad lost out in the semi-final of Welsh School’s
shield competition, but were triumphant in the
National Vase 7’s final. Our U15's along with one
under 14, fielded 15 players between the South
Powys and Swansea Valley school squads, which
saw them going head-to-head in the last game
of the group stages. Swansea Valley came out
on top, eventually winning the Morgan Griffiths
plate final in the Principality Stadium. Well done
to all those players involved and good luck to
those lucky enough to be selected for both age
groups next season.
Our end of season presentations, took a slightly
different format this year, with over 250 players,
coaches and their families enjoying a fun family
day at Parc De pugh. We were lucky enough to
secure Wales and British Lion George North to
present the awards, which was the icing on the
cake of an enjoyable day.
Well done to all the players for a great season
and to all the individual award winners.
I would like express my thanks to all our
coaches, who give up their time to develop and
nurture our young players. Thanks must also go
to the all the referees, first aiders and parents
who help out in the kitchen at home games.
It’s impossible to continue to run a successful
section, without the help of all these volunteers
and we are very grateful for their commitment
and dedication.
As a section, we always welcome both new and
returning players throughout the age groups.
We are always on the lookout for new coaches,
referees and first aiders, and the club is commit-
ted to providing any training needed, to fulfil
these roles. Please do not hesitate to get in
touch if you are interested in being part of our
thriving team. I wish all our players and coaches
the very best for the 2023/24 season!
Another year of growth for
Brecon Mini and Juniors.
Alan Taylor
Chairman, Mini and Junior Section.
