Without much rugby in recent months, today represented an opportunity for the U10's, U11's, U12's and U13's to get their second round Blues Cup games played. The U10's and U11's registered good wins against Treorchy and Taffs Well respectively and the U13's once again knocked out Penarth for the second year running. Special mention goes to the U12's who registered a fantastic 44-5 win over last season's semi-finalist Brecon.

Another weekend of games being called off but the U7's and U8's managed to play their TAG games on astroturf where both age groups registered good wins.

The U13's eventually managed to get their Blues Cup game played at Whitchurch Hospital where they registered a 5-0 win to progress into Round 2

For the second week on the trot numerous fixtures fell foul of the weather but a few games went ahead.

The U7's played Cowbridge on the astroturf at Talybont and won all three games.

Two Blues Cup games were played. The U11's had a great win over St Peters (a team they've never beaten) and now progress to Round 2. The U14's were less fortunate and went down to neighbours Llanishen.

The U12's played their second game of the season against English opposition as touring side Ravens Wood School turned up at Rhiwbina. The early exchanges showed the inexperience of the boys from Bromley in Kent and so the teams were mixed and a more evenly balanced contest then took place.
