Cardiff Blues seek more happy campers

More than 100 children from across the region took part in the latest sold out three-day camp.

Players such as front row legend Taufa'ao Filise - the most capped player in Blues history - Lucas Amorosino, Simon Humberstone, Dan Fish and Rory Watts-Jones all attended the camp during the week to pass on hints and tips.

And on the final day all the youngsters paid a special visit to the training base of the Blues to watch a training session and meet the players, get autographs and chat to Director of Rugby Mark Hammett.

Nadine Griffiths, Community Rugby Manager at Blues, said: "Our October half-term camp was a fantastic success and the visit to The Vale was a special finish for all the youngsters. All the players took time out to sign autographs and meet the children.

"We now look forward to our next Blues Rugby Camp in February and we are already taking bookings so we are urging people to book earlier to avoid any disappointment."

At Cardiff Blues we offer a fun and interactive environment to learn the latest skills and techniques, all coached by our expert Rugby Development Officers and Cardiff Blues Community Coaches.

The February half-term camp will take place at the BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park and each day will be different with a variety of skills, drills and fun games being played. Camps start on Tuesday, February 17 until Thursday, February 19, from 9am and until 4pm each day, and children can come for one, two or all three days!
