In the first of the day’s matches Glyncoch beat New Tredegar in a tense SWALEC Bowl final, before Penallta claimed the SWALEC Plate over a determined Nant Conwy. Cross Keys were worthy winners of their first silverware in 127 years, as they beat Pontypridd 32-19 to secure the coveted SWALEC Cup.

"Every year we give tickets to our customers and this year we extended the giveaway into local communities. We’re thrilled with the success of the event and are already planning how to make next year’s SWALEC Finals Day even bigger and better." Jonny Petrie, SWALEC Head of Sponsorship.

The competition is now closed, but you can still tag yourself in our FanCam photo.

Some memories are worth capturing!

The SWALEC Junior Stars competition was launched in November 2011 and invited nominations from Welsh junior rugby teams who have excelled both on and off the pitch.

Bangor RFC, Denbigh RFC, Bryngwyn School and Whitland RFC were announced as competition finalists in the U13 club, U14 club, U13-14 school and U13-14 girls categories and clinched their prizes by drumming up the most online votes from their peers and supporters.

The finalists were selected from over 35 applications by WRU Head of Rugby Performance and Development, Joe Lydon, SWALEC Head of Sponsorship, Jonny Petrie, and Ryan Jones, Wales international player and SWALEC’s brand ambassador.

Bangor RFC U13s scored 75% of the votes, Denbigh RFC U14s won with 46% and Bryngwyn School U14s by 80%, whereas Whitland RFC U13s girls team automatically qualified for a place in the prize day.

The British & Irish Lions, Wales and Ospreys star covered tackling, the line-out, basic passing and catching techniques, along with offloading in the tackle, and essential warm up drills.
