🏉 What a night for Amman United Youth! In a thrilling match at the Principality Stadium, they clinched the WRU U-18s Cup, overpowering Pontypool United 30-13. 🎉
Rugby legend Shane Williams, who kick-started his stellar career at Amman, was at the heart of the action as a coach. It was a special moment for Shane, especially with his son Carter playing on the wing. Amman’s youth team, only re-established two years ago, showcased incredible resilience, skill, and passion on the grand stage.
Their win wasn’t just a fluke; it was well-deserved with a dominant three tries to Pontypool’s one. The game started tight, with both teams trading early penalties. Then, Wales U18 star Cole Lacey crossed the line just before the break, giving Amman a 10-6 lead at halftime.
The second half saw an electric start from Amman. James Bentley intercepted a pass on his own 22, sprinting 70 metres to score a sensational try. And who nailed the conversion? None other than Carter Williams! 🌟
Pontypool fought back fiercely with Reuben Malsom charging over the line, but Amman’s Aled Davies responded with his own superb try. Further penalties sealed the victory, with Williams’ side charging ahead.
The scenes post-match were pure joy, as families and friends celebrated this unforgettable victory with the young warriors of Amman United. For Shane, it was another proud chapter at a ground that holds a special place in his heart.
🏆 A massive well done to every player, coach, and supporter for a night that will live long in the memory. Here’s to more moments of triumph in Welsh rugby! 🍾
