FORD STEAMS IN FOR FIRST PRINCIPALITY PREMIERSHIP PLAYER OF THE MONTH OF 2010

Llanelli full back and wing Dale Ford has won the Principality Premiership Player of the Month award for January.

Eighteen year old Ford has turned heads this season with nine tries in all competitions, including six in the last four games, and thirteen points with the boot.

Principality Premiership head coaches, WRU and Regional academy staff, and selected journalists select the winner who receives £100 from the Principality Building Society, title sponsors of the competition.

He said, “We have started to pull things together as a team at Llanelli. Where we were losing games by a few points before Christmas, we have recently been winning them by the same short margin and that has given me confidence to go out and express myself a bit more. We’ve been able to get the ball into the right areas of the park and luckily for me, I’ve been getting on the end of some tries.

King names strong Wales U18 squad to face Aussies

Posted on Nov 26, 2009 in Rugby News

Wales Under 18 head coach Simon King has named an experienced 26 man squad ahead of his side’s international against Australia Schools XV at Colwyn Bay on December 5 (Parc Eirias, 6pm).

The majority of the selected players were involved in the side last season with only four players, Cory Hill, Joseff Griffin, Callum Thomas and Harry Robinson (all Blues academy) hoping to get their first cap at this level.

Rhodri Jones and George North hail from Gwynedd and Anglesea respectively and will be desperate to run out in front of some local support if they get the nod next week.

King said, “It’s a great opportunity for all of us to be able to play against a national southern hemisphere side.

“As with the senior side, the more regular contact we have with these teams, the better. When these players come up against the same players at a later stage, they will be more confident having already met them.
