For the Exiles, it was a valuable exercise and we are grateful to Ledbury for hosting the game and for providing the opposition on the day after the Scots Exiles U16s had pulled out of the game.
We had nine new players on view and Wayne Pugh, the Gwent Dragons U16 Manager, was impressed and pleased with the quality of the players on view.
We are grateful for the sponsorship provided by the Griffithe family in Lancashire, as without their assistance the game would not have taken place.
