🥈 EUROPEAN SILVER MEDALLISTS! 🥈

A huge congratulations to Wales Men’s 35’s, who have finished as European Championship silver medallists at the 2026 European Touch Championships in Vichy! 🇫🇷🏉

The final against England was a true spectacle and had everyone on the edge of their seats. With just a minute remaining, Team Cymru trailed by the narrowest of margins at 7–6, setting up a nail-biting finish. Despite a valiant final push, England scored late to secure an 8–6 victory.

The result doesn’t tell the full story. This was a fiercely contested final between two outstanding teams, with our Men’s 35’s showing incredible skill, resilience and determination from the opening whistle to the last.

To reach a European final and return home with silver medals is a fantastic achievement and one that every player, coach and member of the support team should be immensely proud of.

Congratulations, Men’s 35’s you’ve represented Team Cymru with pride and passion. Enjoy your well earned silver medals! 🥈

"Thanks to all the supporters who were cheering us on and also the amazing Sponsors who made all this possible."

A special mention needs to be said for The Sheild Maidens head Coach Mr Mark David. He often goes under the radar but his selfless attitude needs to be acknowledged.

An excellent player that was chosen for the Welsh Touch Squad that played in France this week. Unfortunately due to an ACL injury only 6 weeks before he was set to travel, his dreams were dashed this year. But in his true selfless style he’s utilised his extra time and dedicated all his time and efforts into the development of the Sheild Maidens. He’s taken on the role of not only head coach but pretty much Team managed, arranging all fixtures for the ladies and arrangements for hosting in the absence of our usual club house.

He’s even put on extra sessions for the girl’s recently. Coaching women is a hard feat in itself as they are an unruly bunch but he often doesn’t realise that his efforts are very much appreciated by all.

Raise a glass to the one and only Mig and let’s wish him a speedy recovery to get him back to full fitness ready for the nationals next year and the World Cup 2028 🍻 🏉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
