Exciting times ahead as rugby legend Shane Williams leads his son, Carter, and the Amman United U18s to glory! 🏉 This Friday, Carter will be taking the wing at the Principality Stadium for the WRU U18s Cup final against Pontypool United. Shane is not just a proud dad, but also the coach of this talented squad that’s knocking on the door of being the best in Wales! 🔥
Shane’s been splitting his time between coaching Amman United and his role as head of rugby at Ysgol Dyffryn Amman. It’s a family affair, and Carter is showing skills that have his famous dad beaming with pride: “He’s got the pace and footwork, and can kick off both feet. Honestly, his skillset is better than mine!” Shane confessed. Carter’s versatility lets him play full-back, wing, and even the 10 position.
Amman United has had an incredible journey this season, with wins over Glynneath, St Albans, and Bargoed lining their path to the final. For many players, playing at the Principality Stadium is a dream come true. Shane shared, “It’s a special experience. Playing on one of the best stadiums in the world is huge, and I just want them to enjoy every moment.”
The squad is bolstered by standout players like Jac Cloke and Cole Lacey, who recently represented Wales U18s. With plenty of talent to watch out for, Shane is confident that they’ll play their hearts out.
Supporters from the Amman Valley will be out in full force, just like back in 2017. Shane hopes they’ll do the valley proud, no matter the outcome. 🚌🙌 The club’s doors will be open for celebrations, win, lose or draw. Let’s cheer them on and hope this team wraps up their incredible season in style! 🎉
Stay tuned for an epic showdown under the lights of the Principality Stadium. Go Amman United! 🌟 #RugbyFamily #PrideOfTheValley
