[url=http://www.rleague.com/db/article.php?id=38063Local Welsh community radio station GTFM will be providing live coverage of the Rugby League under 18 international between Wales and Australia next Tuesday (kick-off 7:30pm).[/url

For those who can get there, its £3 entry Adults £1 U16 and £1 a programme, £2 if you want to park your car in the club , spaces are limited so you may want to try the school on the opposite side of the road.

KO 7.30 pm at Virginia Park, Caerphilly RUFC

who won and what was the score?

Wales went four nil up then the Aussies scored 56 or 58, the Aussies were a very classy side with all the skills to be fair but on the down side I think they cared more for the rough stuff than the game.

Thanks Traffy

Did many go along to watch?

A couple of hundred at most I would guess, not a bad turnout for a freezing cold Tuesday night in Caerphilly but I feel there were more there for the England game on the Weds before.

If I lived closer to Wales I would have gone

£3 a ticket to watch the next generation of up and coming stars.. cant fault it.

Hope you kept your programme... it will be interesting to look at the team sheet in 5 or so years to see who made the big time

Programme is safe and sound. Just one question..... given the size of the schoolboys on Tuesday are you not allowed to leave school until 23 in Aus?

That'll be all the islanders that play at junior level!


Although I'm sure they were all born in Australia


Maybe

I had dinner with them as I was manning the gate , they are supposedly 5 years younger than me but were easily twice the size BOTH WAYS! Our U18 and England Community Lions are around the same standard, 26 all draw and both got beat by the schoolboys to almost exactly the same scoreline. I think we've made some progress, plus the U18 coach Stuart Williams has just been named BBC Wales Coach of the Year 2010!, the first time a Wales RL coach has won an award!!!

Brilliant news! Congratulations to Mr Williams.
