TWELVE Aberystwyth RFC Under-16s juniors secured a place in the Ceredigion schools county rugby squad.

Steffan Jac, Gerwyn Jones, Daniel Davies, Max Byrne, Lloyd Ellis-Jones, Dafydd Llyr, Deian Gwynne, Wil Hockenhull, Llion Williams, Harri Gwynn, and Leo DeSouza-Davies made the cut with Rhys Willets-Jones having to pull out due to a serious knee injury.

Eight of the 11 were in the starting line-up for the game last Monday evening winning 26-12 against a very well-drilled Pembrokeshire schools team, with the other three making appearances during the game.

Their next appearance is at the Tom King 12-a-side Cup which will be held on Tuesday, 26 October in Maes y Gwendaeth.

Nerys Hywel, junior secretary and incoming chair reported that both her and the Under-16s coach, Llyr ap Hywel, were immensely proud of the boys, and that all their hard work and commitment over the years is finally paying off.
