Cardiff Rugby’s under-18 squad for the upcoming Regional Age Grade Championship fixtures has been confirmed.

The campaign gets underway on the back of a hugely successful schools and colleges league for the region’s representatives, where Cardiff and Vale College were crowned champions. Whitchurch High School and Ysgol Glantaf also lifted the bowl and plate respectively, with Coleg y Cymoedd achieving a top four finish.

A number of CAVC’s title winning squad are eligible for the under-18 side, including their captain, lock Tom Caple.

The campaign gets underway later this month with a trip to Ospreys, while Cardiff Arms Park will play host to the club’s home games.
