The South Cardiff Panthers were victorious for the second year running in the Cymru Clwb Challenge which was hosted by the Bridgend Eagles at Heol-y-Cyw RFC. The Panthers manged a perfect record on the day with four wins from four games. The winners were decided in the last round where the unbeaten Cardiff club faced off against an unbeaten Swansea Magpies team.
Unfortunately for the Magpies the Panthers were in great shape going in to the game, coming off a bye going in to the decider. Ruckman Chris James proved unbeatable in the contest, ably assisted by no less than four of his GB Bulldogs team mates. The inexperienced Magpies managed to put in a brave effort but the fitness and skill of the Panthers proved too much for them.
The Bristol Dockers made their WARFL debut in the tournament securing third place. They, along with the rest of the teams who took part, proved they are not to be underestimated in the league this year which is certain to be highly competetive.
Congratulations to Billy Hall from the Dockers who was voted as Best on Ground.

- Panthers - P 4, W 4, L 0, Pts 16.
