Last Day of week 3 tomorrow...

Cardiff is the Place atm

With players contacting the TTAW from all over the UK at present it seems Cardiff is the place to practice at the moment

With Chinese, Polish, Irish, English and of course home players relocating to the capital the place is buzzing with 'new' players ready to interject with Welsh internationals to create an elite squad

Mike Marsden, Rich Andrews, Ryan Flood, Yongbo Zhang, Lloyd Gregory, Angharad Phillips and Megan Phillips have made their way to Sport Wales National Centre in recent times to better their TT programmes and with Polish players arriving also it looks a promising environment

Welsh players have certainly improved recently and their dedication to hard training is paying off

New season, new focus...
