The highly anticipated U19 Reebok Regional Championship Final kicks off at the Cardiff Arms Park tomorrow night (Friday 9th March 2007, 7.15pm).

Having installed themselves as the Reebok Regional Championship team of the season, Blues North U16 will be hoping to round off an unbeaten year when they kick off against the Ospreys for the third and final time this year.

After two seasons during which time the side won only one game, the North, under the expert guidance of Dale McIntosh amongst others, have swept all before them.

Their 100% record is without parallel this season; their home and away wins against the Ospreys (a closely fought 8-7 victory at the Arms Park and a 17-8 success at Llandarcy) made sure that they finished the season with a sizeable margin between themselves and their closest rivals.

Tomorrow night promises to be a tight affair with expectation having risen due to previous postponement of the match last week.
