Gogledd Cymru Under 18s play their first home-game of the Regional Age-Grade Championship this Sunday when they face the Neath/Swansea Ospreys at Colwyn Bay Rugby Club.

The North Wales youngsters will be looking to use the game to kick-start their campaign,having suffered a heavy 41-0 defeat away to the Scarlets in their opening match of the championship. A game in which they did not play well and from which hopefully they will have learnt much.

Unfortunately it does not promise to get any easier against an Ospreys squad which contains within it a large number of internationals,including Tom Prydie,who the Ospreys management have already said they envisage playing for their senior side before the end of the season.

However last seasons home match against the Ospreys was probably the Gogledd Cymru Under 18 Teams most competitive performance of the season,and there is no doubt that Head Coach Les Byrne will be looking for a similar effort on Sunday.

The Gogledd Cymru squad will be announced after Wednesday nights training session in Ruthin.

Kick off is 2pm and hopefully there will be a large crowd to urge the Gogledd Cymru side on.

Hope the above ok. I will forward to you the match-day squad on Wednesday night.

Best wishes Will
