A new under-11s rugby team is being launched.
The North Powys Schools District Rugby team is aiming to enter an Under-11s team into the historic D.C. Thomas Cup for the first time.
North Powys is currently the only district in Wales without a team in the competition.
The team’s new identity draws inspiration from the old Kingdom of Powys, with a logo, kit, and branding that reflect the region’s history and communities.
A launch meeting will take place at Welshpool RFC on Thursday, September 17, at 7pm.
