Any Late Developers On Show?

Tomorrow (Wednesday) evening at Ystradgynlais RFC the Young Osprey under 16 team will take on a combined districts team from within the Ospreys Region. This fixture will help Head Coach Alex Evans identify any late developers within the Region.

Already this season a round robin of fixtures have been played in order to identify the players and Rhys Ruddock's (picture) team will be severly tested by an ambitious group of players. Bridgend won both of their fixtures with the other districts and it is their team who go on to represent the Osprey Region in an the All Wales semi finals. Therefore it is not surprising that the district squad is dominated by Bridgend based players.

 Under Evans and his assistants Dave Jones and Paul Yardley the Young Osprey team has developed as the season has gone on and, in their last fixture they were comfortable winners over the Blues South. Nevertheless all players will realise the need to perform to the highest standards if they are to retain their place in the squad.
