Quins enter Elite Men’s 7’s tournament

 

Welsh 7’s Series – Abergwili, Saturday 3rd June 2023 

With the Carmarthen leg of the Welsh 7’s Series fast approaching, we are extremely pleased to announce the Quins 1st XV have entered the Elite tournament, and the Youth will be seeking to extend their highly successful season by competing in the U18 male tournament. 

There are currently 10 Elite Teams, 10 Youth Teams and 6 Girls Teams competing from 9am until 7pm, providing a whole day of exciting 7’s rugby on 3 separate pitches. More information on the teams competing will be published as we get nearer the 3rd of June. 

There will be food outlets in the form of Pizza’s and a Hog Roast, and the pavilion kitchen will be open to provide alternatives such as burgers and chips etc.  

There will be plenty of refreshments from the bar, with music and tournament information provided throughout the day. 

All proceeds will be reinvested in the maintenance and development of the facilities at Abergwili to support existing and future generations of young rugby players in our communities. The tournament is a great day out and it’s important our members, families, and friends come along and support not just the teams on the field but the future of the Quins Club as a whole. 

Anyone willing to volunteer for a few hours on the day is asked to contact the club to leave your details, and a member of the Abergwili Committee will get back to you.

LAST DANCE

 

Tomorrow, the boys will run for the final time, concluding the 2022/23 Indigo Premiership season.

There have been many ups and downs throughout this season. With new head coach Marc Jones coming in at the start of the season, it was always going to take time.

Since Marc’s arrival, the group has been tighter than ever. We win together and lose together. Everything that we do is together.

Staying patient, we went into the Christmas break disappointed with our performances. We then started to see some rewards with wins over Llanelli, Swansea, RGC, Aberavon and Pontypridd.

Some players will move on at the end of the season and we wish them all the very best for their futures. Diolch bois.

As for the group that will stay together, we look forward to what next year brings!

Come on the Quins.

What an achievement.

Da Iawn bois. We can’t wait to see you run out at the Principality Stadium.

The future is bright!

Call for Volunteers

Abergwili 7’s Appeal for Volunteers – Saturday 3rd June 2023

 

In June 2022 Carmarthen Quins hosted the inaugural West Wales leg of the Welsh 7’s series.

The event consisted of two tournaments, namely Elite and Youth teams. The Elite teams included high-quality sides such as Carmarthen Warriors, British Army, British Navy, Prostate Cymru and other elite teams from across Wales. The Quins Youth participated in the Youth Tournament which again was represented from teams across South Wales in particular.

The feedback received after last year’s tournaments was extremely positive, and it was an event the club can be rightly proud of. We have again been asked by the competition organisers to host this year’s tournament on Saturday 3rd June.

The Quins Youth, who are enjoying a successful 22/23 season, intend to enter the 7’s again this year. We are also planning to add a third event this year, namely a female tournament, in addition to the Elite and Youth categories.

It is perhaps opportune to explain that there were several reasons for agreeing to hold the tournament, not least of which was the opportunity for each section of the club (Senior / Youth and Junior sections) to come together and host a tournament for the benefit of everyone involved with Carmarthen Quins RFC. One of the main objectives was to ensure that all proceeds raised from 2022 and this year’s events will be reinvested into the maintenance and development of facilities at Abergwili.

We also need to be honest and say, if there was one negative about last year’s event, it was without doubt the fact that we needed more people to come forward to assist with the gates, car parks and other stewarding duties.

Our aim is to make this year’s tournament a bigger success than 2022 but we cannot achieve this without the support of more volunteers.

There will be more information posted about the 7’s during the coming weeks, however, in the meantime, please contact your representatives at Senior, Youth and Junior levels and put your name forward to help for a few hours on 3rd June. It will make a huge difference not just to the event but to the longer-term development of the club.
