Fans queued up to get their autographs and selfies with the players

Hundreds of rugby fans, young and old, turned up to watch the Dragons train at a special event held at Ystrad Mynach’s Centre of Sporting Excellence.

The regional rugby team held the free session on Friday August 25, and followed a similar event two weeks prior.

Visitors got a tour of the ground before watching the players train. The event included fun and games for children followed by a meet and greet session with the team and staff.

The special community event proved popular
