Wales Rugby League is preparing itself for its biggest ever weekend on August 9th/10th with two Celtic Crusaders’ matches and four Grand Finals on two different grounds.

First, on Saturday at Blackwood RLFC, the Welsh under 15 and under 17 Grand Finals (kick-offs 11.30am and 12.45pm respectively) will take place with Crusaders Colts v East Lancashire Lions following at 2.30pm).

The decision to choose Blackwood follows the staging of many successful representative games at the ground including Wales A v England Lionhearts last year and Crusaders Colts v Liverpool Buccaneers last Saturday.

Then on Sunday the weekend comes to a massive conclusion at the Brewery Field in Bridgend.

The Welsh under 13 Grand Final is at 11.30am followed by the biggest domestic

club match of the year in Welsh Rugby League, the Welsh Conference Premier Grand Final at 1pm.

Finally, at 4.10pm, in a game to be shown live on S4C, Celtic Crusaders take on Leigh Centurions in Co-operative National League One.

The Cup Finalists for all the Grand Finals will be known after this weekend’s semi-final matches.

One programme will be produced for the entire weekend which costs just £2.50.

Crusaders’ assistant coach / team manager Anthony Seibold said: “We’re delighted to be joining forces with the Welsh Rugby League to host these matches and produce a joint programme. We know that the grass roots of rugby league in Wales are the future Celtic Crusaders players and we’re all looking forward to an enjoyable weekend.”
