Blues u20 & u18 will both kick off their new season against Dragons when the Championship begins in September.
Cardiff Blues will once again field two teams at u16 (North & South) as well as competing at under-18 and under-20 through the established regional Academy structure.
The full fixtures, venues, and kick off times for all U16, 18, & 20s WRU Regional Championships Matches 2005-2006 are below.
Last season Blues under-18s and under-16s North both had difficult inaugural campaigns in a championship which proved highly competitive.
The Under-20s faired better winning four out of six games, but the Blues South Under-16s made it all the way to the showpiece final at the Millennium Stadium. Unfortuantely it was Llanelli Scarlets who triumphed 19-5 and received the trophy from competition ambassador Rob Howley.
