The Llanelli Warriors played their 100th game against Betws

The Llanelli Warriors were formed at the town's Heol Goffa day centre and are celebrating their 10th season.

The club plays full contact rugby against other club, pub and works' teams and has gone from a handful of games each year to a full fixture list.

The Warriors will mark the end of this season with a tour to New Zealand.

A couple of the players have gone on from the Warriors to play other local clubs. It's great for everybody Coach Gwilym Lewis

The Warriors marked their 100th game against Betws RFC at the weekend with a 27-10 victory.

Coach Gwilym Lewis said: "About half the team are people with learning disabilities and the others are then friends and relatives.

"Because they enjoyed watching rugby but did not really have the chance to play the team was set up to give them a chance to have a go.

"It's full contact - the only difference is there are passive scrums but its quite important its full contact as the boys enjoy that as much as any other part of the game.

"A couple of the players have gone on from the Warriors to play other local clubs. It's great for everybody."

Some of the players did not have the chance to play before

Mr Lewis said the standard had improved and the fixture list had become more crowded, with up to 25 games being played this season - twice as many as normal.

"When the first game was organised everybody was a bit nervous as it was just a one off. Now we are a club in our own right, separate from Heol Goffa."

The club is currently fundraising for a trip to New Zealand which will coincide with the final weeks of the British Lions tour in the summer.

"We are going to follow the last two weeks of the Lions tour and play three games of our own," added Mr Lewis.
