Dawnus has made a generous donation of £10,000 in support of the Llanelli Scarlet’s ‘Next Generation’ programme, which aims to develop promising young rugby players in the South West Wales Region.
The Genhedlaeth Nesaf (Next Generation) is a programme that is delivered by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU). The programme will be run in 5 Centres of Development in the Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Carmarthen, Llanelli and Dinefwr areas. The WRU’s ‘Mini to Millennium’ skills curriculum will be delivered to young rugby players aged between 13 and 16 years old.
Under 14s will be identified through a series of festivals and follow a annual plan. Youths will play three games per centre, which will prepare these young players to play in the National Dewer Shield U’15’s Competition in the following season.
The Genhedlaeth Nesaf also includes a Regional Junior Cup for clubs within the Scarlets Region, which culminates in Finals Day at Parc y Scarlets.
Dawnus is delighted to be part of the advancement of young talent in a region famous for its rugby prowess. WRU Regional Development Manager in the Scarlets area, Jeff Roach, commented “thank you on behalf of the WRU and the Scarlets for your support at Dawnus, which will provide such a positive contribution to the progression of young rugby players in the Scarlets’ Region.”
