New comers Bryn Primary school were exceptional on the day being their first competition for a couple of years. They were a pleasure to watch and it is hopeful that they will join the Wizards League next academic year. Groes, Eastern and Baglan were also terrific on the day.

A BIG thanks must go to Dyffryn Comprehensive School for facilitating the event, also the Dyffryn pupils who helped out on the day. All of the referees and umpires were fantastic. Warburtons came down and fed all of the referees and some teachers which was great. Ridgways coaches, who provided the logistics for the event were superb and patient. Lastly, ESS who sponsored the event should be thanked as the event would not be possible without them.

Wizards League: Round 12
The Wizards League has come to an end for its fourth year. Cwmafan Junior school have managed to take the Wizards League title off Tywyn Primary School who have held the title for three years. Cwmafan have been a consistent threat to Tywyn for four years and their 20-0 win against Tywyn just after Christmas proved to be crucial. Cwmafan have been deserved winners as they also hold the best defensive record in the Wizards League also.
This season the Wizards League sure has been competitive with Traethmelyn enjoying a fine season racking up the best points scored in the Wizards League. Between 4th and 8th place has been very interesting, Coed Hirwaun enjoyed a great season also finishing 4th. New entrants Cymer Federations and Groes have shown great improvement throughout the season and showing great developments by picking up some well earned wins.
In netball, it was a great season all round with Tywyn and St Therese battling it out at the end of the season for the title of the netball league. It ended 10-1 to Tywyn, with St Therese suffering a injury blow to their centre 5 minutes into the game. Nevertheless, Tywyn were victorious and retained the Wizards League for the fourth year running. Blaenbaglan have had had an excellent season finishing third and only losing three games. An excellent season. Cwmafan finished fourth due to points scored as they had only lost three games also. Awel Y Mor, Sandfields and Central remained very competitive with each other in the middle of the table, creating a very interesting season. Cymer and Groes finished at the bottom of the table but showed enormous signs of improvement throughout and with it being their first year in the league, next year they will be ready.
An excellent season all round for both rugby and netball. The Wizards League is becoming a very competitive league with standards improving each year. It is a credit to the children, teachers and parents involved that have created a safe and happy environment for the children to compete in. Competitive sport is very important to children as winning and losing can teach everybody so many values.
Creating an environment for the children for competitive sports is essential, however, the control of competitive attitude must be nurtured and controlled, this is done through teachers and parents. A positive attitude towards sport, winning and losing should be adhered to at all time.
Our sponsors are the key drivers that make this program available. A big thanks must go to Education Staffing Solutions, Baglan Bay Powerstation, Costain and Pump Supplies for sponsoring the program.
Lastly, Aberavon RFC thank you for making the Wizards League special. Till next year.

Tywyn have two games left to play and Cwmafan have three. Traethmelyn have done very season currently sitting third in the league. Mixed result from games have left positions 3 to 8 very tight which shows that the league has been very competitive this season. Netball is still all to play for and looks down to one game, Tywyn V St Therese. This game is yet to be organised, but will be announced soon. Other than playing each other, both schools still have one more game each to play. Blaenbaglan have been outstanding this season remaining competitive throughout, only losing to the top two teams.
