Academy graduates play in Welsh Cup Final
James Murphy and Bailey Jackson both play in the JD Welsh Cup final defeat against TNS on monday.
Well done to both players, who graduated as part of last seasons quadruple winning U18 side.
Murphy started the game on the right handside of the Airbus midfield and Jackson came of the subs bench with half an hour still to play.
A fantastic achievement for both the players and the academy to have players come through and play in Wales' showpiece final. Also, it is fantastic to have seen SEVEN academy players make their competitive senior debuts this season.
