The Pontypridd under 17s are looking to expand their squad for next season and are appealing for players within the age group to join them. Any players who qualify for the under 17 age group, and who would be interested in representing Pontypridd RFC, are asked to contact coach Andrew Watkins on 07886709888, or manager Islwyn Johns on 07810480875.

The Pontypridd under 17s, who will next season progress to be the club's Youth squad, are appealing for players within the age group to join them. A spate of injuries, some of them long term, and a trend for other local clubs to entice individuals away with offers of rewards, have depleted the Pontypridd under 17s player base.

The squad have been together, playing for Pontypridd throughout the mini and junior age groups, and are set for a higher profile within the club next year as the Youth set-up is restored. This has been a mixed season for the under 17s, with some fine wins, but incurring defeats on the way as well. A high profile victory was gained by the team back in the autumn over English giants Bath, but with other results typical of an inconsistent season being a nil - nil draw ground out against Dowlais, and a defeat away to a Talywain Youth team who were older and more physically mature.

Last Sunday, 15^th January, the under 17s got back to winning ways, earning a creditable 22 pts to 14 result away to Newport side St Joseph's. The points scorers for Ponty on the day were Scott Pritchard and Ian Fisher with a try apiece, Anthony John with two touchdowns, and a conversion added by Craig Davies.

The under 17s squad have already this winter been involved in a training session with the Pontypridd senior squad - an experience which they relished, and hopefully can do so again before the season ends. Coach Andrew Watkins is very much aware of the need to offer his boys such encouragement as a means of keeping players within the squad. "We are fighting hard to keep our squad together this season" said Andrew, "in the face of some very tough competition from other clubs. We always push the angle that we represent Pontypridd RFC, and how the boys can take pride in being involved with a great club, but we need help from other sections of the club to achieve this. It will take a huge effort, but we are totally committed to seeing it through to the end of the season. Hopefully next year as the boys move up to Youth level, our profile will be greater, and we can build a strong and competitive squad".

Any players who qualify for the under 17 age group, and who would be interested in representing Pontypridd RFC, are asked to contact coach Andrew Watkins on 07886709888, or manager Islwyn Johns on 07810480875.
