The weather was indeed kind to the Pembrokeshire & District Junior Rugby Association for their Finals Day at Haverfordwest, which featured the best of young local talent watched by very large and enthusiastic crowds as play started promptly at 11.30am and went on until 5.30pm.
The day was superbly organised by Kenny Davies in conjunction with Haverfordwest RFC’s Gareth Griffiths, Delyth Summons, Graham Dalton, Jeff Clout and Brian Stephens, with District H representative JR Jones and Junior Rugby Union chairman Mike Fry also in attendance. Also present to help make the presentations were Llanelli Scarlet’s Dominic Day and current Welsh youth internationals Luke Hamilton, Sam Perry and Rob Evans. The referees also played a significant part with their sympathetic understanding of the game and the end product was some fast, furious and flowing rugby for spectators to savour!

Crymych scored tries through centre Josh McLeod (2) and winger Carwyn Vaughan, who also slotted one conversion.

Just two points separated Haverfordwest and Pembroke Dock Quins in the under 16 final, which provided a fitting end to a good day’s rugby as the young Blues eased home by two points against a Quins’ side which had George Kenniford as man of the match.
Winger Jevon Barnes landed three penalties for the Blues and full back Greg Walters scored their vital try.
