BRIDGEND RAVENS start pre season
PRE-SEASON training has started at the
Brewery Field and new coach Gareth Nicholas has been impressed
by the attitude of his new team.
Ravens coach Nicholas said: “It’s
been going really well. There have been well over 20 there
and they are all quality players."
Among
the players who have stood out at training are centre Gareth
Howells and flanker Matthew Davies, while the Ravens have
had another Osprey assigned to them.
Winger Liam Powell will join up with
the two other Ospreys Academy players Lloyd Peers and Tom Pridey.
Also
signed up for next season are Bill Carey, flanker Matthew
Davies, centre Matthew Davies, Mark David, Iwan Mainwaring,
Mike Davies, Grant Epton, Chris Weightman, Owen Williams, Lee
Manning, hooker Rhys Blumberg and Jon Campbell. Nicholas is
also talking to scrum half Anthony Buscelli and several other
Premiership players.
The Ravens have arranged pre-season friendlies at Carmarthen
Quins (August 15) and Aberavon (August 22) and are looking
for a home game on August 29, hopefully against English opposition.
