History of our Internationals....
Every year our intrepid members compete at the highest level in our International Wales v England weekend.
The first 3 years (2016/17/18) of our ‘best of 3’ International matches, Captains Robert and Jaimie battled hard with England eventually winning the series 2 - 1
Our next run of 3 year ‘best of 3’ International matches (2019/20/21) involved Captains Wiggy and Bally. There were some great battles including our first ‘halved’ set of matches in 2020. Wales eventually won this hard fought best of 3 series.
