Head coach Lee Jarvis’ side have already been confirmed champions of the league campaign and will move up to the SWALEC Championship next season. 

They are now looking to complete the league and cup double when they face Rhiwbina in the final of the plate competition on Sunday.

The clash is the second of three finals at the Millennium Stadium this bank holiday weekend and Jarvis and his team are looking forward to the experience.

“Everyone is looking forward to the game, to run out at the stadium is just a brilliant opportunity for the boys,” he said.

 “Rhiwbina will be tough opposition but we’ve had a brilliant season so far and we want to go out there and win the trophy.

“It’s something which is definitely achievable and we’ll be striving to do it for the supporters who have backed us in both the good and bad times.”

“It’s hugely satisfying to have won the league and achieved promotion. It means we’ve got a lot to look forward to in the future but for now, we’re just focusing on the Plate final.”
