The Welsh Rugby Union and Llanelli Wanderers “Senior” Committee have been informed of this decision. The disbanding of the team means we lose an excellent and dedicated coach. The Mini and Junior Committee would like to extend its gratitude and appreciation to Mike Jones (Older) for his dedication and commitment in trying to maintain the Under 15’s side this season and also thank him for his commitment to teams within the Mini and Junior section over a number of years. We wish him every success in the future. We would also like to thank the players and parents of the Under 15’s for their support over the years. We hope that ex-players will continue playing rugby and wish them every success with their new clubs. Llanelli Wanderers are hoping to set up a youth team from next season and it is hoped that ex-players from the Under 15’s will return to the Wanderers to play youth rugby.
