TRIALS SELECTION CRITERIA;-

Players are selected realistically based on their playing ability as a team player, individual skills and rugby knowledge and awareness during matches. This includes when on and off the ball, and in attacking and defensive situations, and finally their Speed, Agility and Quickness (SAQ).

All Bridgend District Players will play one third of a County Play-Off Match against Maesteg District Under 11s.
A Combined (Bridgend & Maesteg) County Squad of up to a maximum of 22 players will be selected to attend the First West Wales Trials.
The First Trials are held at Ystradgynlais RFC, Swansea Valley, commencing at 4.30 pm

Here Bridgend & Maesteg County will play matches against Swansea County (Swansea, Swansea Valley & Llwchwr), Afan Nedd County (Neath & Aberavon), and Dyfed County (Llanelli, Dinefwr, Carmarthen, Pembroke, Mynydd Mawr and Ceredigion). Each County will trial up to a maximum of 22 players for selection. (up to a maximum of 88 players in total)

As shown above, selection for WEST WALES isn't easy with a base of approximately 570 District players across West Wales. (Based on squad numbers of each District). As shown also, the players representing Dyfed County have been selected from 6 Districts, which hasn't been an easy task.

At the First Trial, 60 from the 88 players will be selected to attend a Second Trial to be held during the Easter Holidays (date will be confirmed at the first trial). at this trial, players will be randomly mixed into teams with players from other Districts.

At the Second Trial, a final 44 players will be selected to represent West Wales Under 11s, and will be grouped to represent West Wales 'A' and West Wales 'B' teams.

If successfully selected, the 44 players will be required to attend three training sessions (dates to be confirmed) before playing East Wales Under 11s in April 2011, at Ebbw Vale RFC.
