A cracking day for the club as the Warriors play with themselves.

Despite the mud and the rain and the cold and of course various Christmas commitments the Warriors raised two very good teams to celebrate the club's 20th season.

Not quite the past v present match billed, instead it was more of an exhibition match but there were 6 players following their parents into the team and three generation game battles with Gary James, Ian Williams and Gwilym Lewis facing their respective sons; Craig, Rhydian and Dion.

With club legends like Hywel Watkins and Mike Seignot looking on the teams battled out a close match which was only decided in the closing minutes with a second Blue try to see them through 13-8, Matthew Symes getting both their scores along with a Rhydian Williams penalty. The Reds had come back through a Nathan Lawson try and Kirean Morgan penalty. Man of the match awards went to Rhydian and Jamie Evans. Full match report in 'match centre"

After such a positive experience its hoped the game will become an annual event.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
