Match Report

The first final of the day was an all Caerphilly affair, played between the two U10 sides at Wales' largest club, Aber Valley Wolves.

U10s rugby league in Wales is 7-a-side and competitive with squads of 14, played on a smaller pitch, with no kicking at all in the games. The matches are started with a pass back, played in three 10-minute periods, only tries are scored, and there are unlimited substitutions.

It all adds up to an impressive spectacle, and this was a hard-fought final played in front of a large crowd in Pontypridd. It didn't matter that both sides were from the same club, the atmosphere was still as tense as any final.

Iestyn Jones gave the Blues the lead in the third minute and that's the way it remained until the end of the first period.

Yellows hit back in the 13th minute when their captain Samuel Morgan barged his way over for a try, only for Blues' Harry Jones to give his side the lead back again a minute later.

However an excellent individual try from Yellows' Regan Davies levelled things up again at 8-8 before the end of the second period.

However in the final period, it was all Yellow as they showed why they topped the table in the regular season.

Four minutes in the third period, Tommy Godwin used his strength to give Yellow the lead for the first time in the game.

Then Theo Grahame intercepted a pass to extend their advantage to 16-8, and with two minutes to go, Owen Lloyd dived over to seal the win.
