HOLYHEAD RUGBY CLUB

It's been confirmed that the first ever game to be played at the new performance facility in Eirias will be RGC 1404 U18S V CARDIFF BLUES U18S on Sunday, December 18th, with a 2.30pm kick off.

The venue has been confirmed as the home ground for all the Welsh Rugby Unions U20's international fixtures this season and this will be a great opportunity for everyone in the North Wales Rugby community to experience this truly impressive facility.


The afternoon of Sunday 18th December sees the first competitive Rugby match to be played at the new state of the art facility at Parc Eirias, Colwyn Bay - the home ground for all of the WRU Under 20s fixtures in 2012.

As well as an opportunity for spectators to see for themselves this fantastic new development, surely one of the top five facilities in Wales, there will also be the chance to watch international players of the future as the RGC 1404 Under 18 side take on their counterparts from the Cardiff Blues in their final match of this years regional age-grade competition.

For many players the regional age-grade competition is one of the first steps to-wards senior international honours and the likes of Sam Warburton, Scott Williams and North Wales' own George North have all played in it in recent years. This year's competition has been the RGC 1404 Under 18 team's most succesful yet and they will be looking to end their season on a high with a win against a Blues side which is bound to be strong and which has won the competition for the last 2 years. The game kicks off at 2.30pm and with admission being free it is hoped that as many people as possible will take a break from their Christmas shopping to cheer on the RGC 1404 team.

Marc Roberts the Regional WRU Performance Development manager said "Our U18's game against the Blues is a great opportunity for the North Wales public to come and see first hand how good a facility we now have. For the WRU RGC Academy to create performance rugby players we must have performance facilities and in Eirias we know have that, a stadium and facility that all in North Wales can be proud of."
