Summer Smash schedule confirmed

There’s just over a week to go to Summer Smash at Cardiff Arms Park and the line-up has been confirmed for the big day in the Welsh capital on Saturday 14th June.
 
There will be two JES Rugby League Conference matches for fans to enjoy, plus two of Wales’ international sides will also be in action.
 
Plus at half-time in the four games, there will exhibitions of junior rugby league from 16 of our junior sides at U8 and U9 levels.
 
The first match at 11am sees Cynon Valley Cavaliers take on Bridgend Blue Bulls in the first JES Rugby League Conference match of the day.
 
Then at 1pm, Rhondda Outlaws, who are the odd team out in the five-team league, face Wales Students. This is an important match for the Clive Griffiths coached Students who are warming up for their upcoming Four Nations tournament against England, Ireland and Scotland.
 
At 3pm, it’s a repeat of last year’s Grand Final with South Wales Jets facing Aberavon Fighting Irish. Despite this being only round three, the two sides have always faced off, with Aberavon winning 38-28, and with just the top two sides going into the Grand Final, every win counts so it’ll be no holds barred.
 
Finally, at 5pm, it’s a Masters international match between Wales and Ireland. Masters is open to all aged 35 and over and these two nations meeting annually in recent years. Rules are specially adapted for different players depending on their age, where some can only be tagged or touched instead of being tackled.
