Undy Rugby Academy has been started this season for young players in Undy and Magor to experience competitive rugby. As usual, the organisers are enthusiastic volunteers who give their time freely. Players from the academy were at Rodney Parade to collect funds and to form the traditional Guard of Honour for the players of Glamorgan Wanderers and Newport as they took to the field.

The crowd was not as big as we would have liked but the boys still managed to collect �178.72 of much needed revenue.

They were also entertained with an exciting end to end encounter resulting with a much needed bonus point win for Newport.

Thanks go out to all those who dropped money into the collecting buckets. Your support is much appreciated.
