Awesome to see Iron maidens u12s and u16s playing today. Some great rugby being played in poor conditions 🏉

Also fantastic to see Will Mackie (current Merthyr schools) and Caleb Bow (ex Merthyr schools) both officiating brilliantly 👏 future of rugby in Merthyr is looking good!

[Lewys Nicholas @Lewysnich]

Great moment today at the age of 21 to play with players that I have coached through junior and youth rugby 💚🖤

Didn’t look out of place one bit, must have been the coaching they have had 👀

Looking forward to this upcoming season and seeing these players progress.

Da iawn

Great to be able to referee Cefn Coed u15s against Nelson in a tough game, with 5 Afon Tâf pupils playing 💪

Then to Blaenavon RFC for another fiercely competitive game with some great rugby being played by both the Iron Maidens u12s and the Arrows u12s 👏
