The Pembrokeshire and District Junior rugby Association held their sixth finals day at the Observatory, Milford Haven, with quality rugby the order of the day.
Under 8s, 11s, 12s, 13s, 14s, 15s and 16s from around the county showed off their skills in the event which was again sponsored by Texaco.
Also in attendance was Johnnie Jones, the District H representative on the Welsh Rugby Union, who had acquired for the day the Six Nations Trophy won by the Welsh senior team, so that youngsters could have their photographs taken with the coveted silverware.
The whole day was well supported by families and friends, with Kim Norkett eager to praise Milford Haven RFC for its support in making it a day to remember.
