IN front of more than 1,000 fans at The Gnoll in Neath, Wales U16 pulled off an outstanding win against England to clinch the U16 Four Nations unbeaten for a second year in a row.

Wales were only 12-0 up at half-time thanks to two converted tries but they had three more disallowed before ending up 32-10 winners.

With the majority of the Welsh players coming from the successful junior set-up in South Wales, where well over 2,000 children have been playing rugby league this summer, the win is a credit to both club and international coaches.

Wales took the lead in the 27th minute, Matthew Clatworthy converting Elis Thomas’ try.

Sam Dickinson sprinted over 50 metres to score the second try that Clatworthy again converted.

England got a try back on 50 minutes through Travis Jack-Morse but Wrexham’s Ralf Roberts scored at the other end with Clatworthy adding a conversion and a penalty.

A dropped ball from Wales’ next set gave England another chance and this time they didn’t waste it as Jack-Morse scored his second of the game.

Wales wrapped the game up with further tries from Bobby Dickinson and Evan Williams.
