Huge congratulations to winners @SthPembsSharks in a nail biting final! 14-12 final score, speedy recovery to all injured players🙌 A great day of finals🏉 thank you to @AmmanfordRugby for hosting a fantastic day and well done to all teams involved👏
It was wonderful to spend the evening with the coaches and volunteers of the @SthPembsSharks Girls Rugby hub during a quick trip to my home town of #Tenby this week. Great to watch the U14s girls train, ahead of their big final in the West Wales Cup this weekend.
Through @NewYorkWelsh, our #diaspora organisation based in New York City, we’ve been sponsors of the U16, U14 and U12 teams since 2019, and I’m so excited to be sponsoring a BRAND NEW U18’s girls team for next season, under the guidance of club chair Jamie Barrellie. With over 70 girls now playing regular rugby, our hope is to try and get the @WelshRugbyUnion, @WRU_Community, @WelshGovernment and my old school, @YsgolGreenhill School to engage more, to empower and elevate this girls rugby hub even more. We aren’t asking form money…we’re bringing that. We are asking for collaboration. Simple as that.
Grassroots sport investment is critical for the future of Welsh rugby, and a bigger more focused strategy in the female game should be a priority for every region.
But, for me, I can’t wait to see the next step in the Sharks journey unfold!
Great photos of our @NewYorkWelsh sponsored South Pembrokeshire Sharks U16’s Girls Rugby win over Cardiff Storm Girls Rugby, and a fab write up on Pembrokeshire Sport about Pembroke Ladies Rugby teams recent win, which places them at the top of the league.
We are so proud to support these amazing women and girls. It’s why we created New York Welsh, to create tangible and measurable change in female sport in Wales.

If you read anything today please read this. This is a tragic story of an amazing man. If you can donate and help Craig hit the £million mark for Sunday. It would be incredible. Thank you❤️🙏
