Plate Final Squad Announced..... and how the squad compares to previous finals!

Penallta have named their squad for the National Plate final. 

The final kicks off on Sunday 16th April at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff (kick off 3.15pm).

This will be the Pitmen's third Plate final in Cardiff, to go with the Welsh Brewers final, also played at what was then the Millennium Stadium, back in 2001.

So this will be a fourth senior trip to the home of Welsh rugby for a little pit club like ours - what an achievement. And the club has been there six times in total, of course. Penallta Youth played in finals at the stadium in 2014 and 2015, meaning that the club has had the honour of gracing the hallowed turf in each of the last four seasons.

The squad for Sunday is below. Just for kicks, we've listed the previous senior squads privileged enough to be picked to play at the stadium (underneath). Enjoy seeing how they compare, and have a pleasant Pitman ponder over which one you think is best!
