Burry Port have proved unstoppable in the league this season where they have so far had a 100% success rate, with bonus point wins in all league fixtures to date.
Having finished top of their plate pool, they faced Seven Sisters away in the semi-final. In what was a hard-fought contest, the Lady Blacks managed to edge it.
Burry Port anticipate a highly competitive game, which is the norm when the two sides play each other.
Player development is at the core of their squad, with Lady Blacks players representing Wales U18s, U23s and the senior Ladies Six Nations squad.
Whitland now stand in the way of Burry Port’s unblemished record.
They were founded in 2005 and have gone from strength to strength and currently run girls under 8’s,10’s,12’s,14’s,16,s and 18’s alongside the senior team.
They are no strangers to Finals day, having played in one cup final, coming second best to a very strong Skewen side and two Plate finals winning both against Gwernyfed and Seven Sisters.
Over the years many of the players have represented the Scarlets at both 18’s and senior level, with six going on to represent Wales at U18’s, six at U20’s and seven gaining senior caps.
Today’s Team Manager Sue Davies has been the driving force behind the Ladies and Girls set up since the journey began in 2005 and her daughter and former player Sara has followed in her footsteps and is currently Team Manager of The Scarlets .
Today is a fitting end for Whitland skipper Natalie Walsh who is hanging up her boots in the 15-a-side game after 17 years’ service to the club.
