The Dragons Under 18 team will hope to build on their win over Cross Keys United tonight when they travel to Filton College in their last pre-season match before the Regional Championships kick-off on 26th August.
Head Coach Matthew Back has named a strong team in an attempt to continue their great pre-season form against the Bristol based College. Hooker, Tom Rusga will captain the team again after leading them to a 16-5 away victory in which they more than equalled the physicality of their elder Cross Keys counterparts.
Rusga will look for another sublime performance from the talented Josh Prosser, who scored all his teams points at Pandy Park, as they build confidence ahead of the Championship opener against Ospreys Under 18.
