Boxer Lauren Price gets world championship campaign underway with win

Price is competing at the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Ulan Ude, Eastern Siberia – more than 4,200 miles from Bargoed’s Hanbury Square.

The win at Bargoed Park extends the Bulls’ unbeaten start to life in Wales’ second tier to four games – three wins and one draw.

Jordan Rees’ try in the dying moments of the game drew Bedwas level before James Hallett’s conversion sealed the win.

Caerphilly County Borough is currently one of six local authorities in Wales without an athletics track.

The Bulls remain unbeaten in the WRU Championship.

Bedwas won 52-13 at the Bridgefield to make it three wins out of three in the WRU Championship.

Welsh rugby legend Sam Warburton OBE will be at Newbridge Memo on Thursday, October 17.

Dylan and Geraint were two of the 18 competitors chosen to represent Wales in the competition.

Warburton told players: “You’re my adopted team now and I’ll be keeping a close eye on you for the rest of the season.”

The Bulls scored eight tries to send a warning to the rest of the league.
