We're bursting with pride to celebrate the incredible achievement of Nat and Ioan, who both received call-ups to the Welsh School Under 19 Team during their very first year of eligibility! This prestigious opportunity propelled them onto the international stage, where they gained invaluable experience and showcased their exceptional talent. 

Unforgettable Encounters: Facing Top Teams Across the Globe

Their journey began with a thrilling friendly match against Australia, allowing them to test their skills against top international competition.  This was just the beginning, as they then traveled to Rome for the prestigious Roma Caput Mundi Tournament. Here, they faced a series of challenging opponents, including Canada and Denmark, demonstrating their resilience and composure.

The tournament culminated in a nail-biting final against England U19 Colleges. The tension was palpable as the match went to penalties.  This is where Nat truly stepped into the spotlight, saving a staggering 2 penalties!  His heroics, coupled with the team's unwavering determination, secured a well-deserved victory for the Welsh School Under 19 Team, earning them the coveted championship title.

Beyond the Tournament: Representing Wales in the Centenary Shield

Nat and Ioan's international experience continued beyond the Roma Caput Mundi Tournament. They were selected to represent Wales in the Centenary Shield, where they faced fierce competition from Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland.

Nat and Ioan's success is a testament to their dedication, talent, and unwavering spirit. Their international journey has undoubtedly shaped them into exceptional young players, and we have no doubt they will continue to achieve great things in the years to come.

Congratulations, Nat and Ioan! We are incredibly proud of your achievements!
