WELSH CASTLES RELAY: I have submitted Eryri squad names to the event organisers, while it is very disappointing that I have been really struggling to name a full squad for such a prestigious and historical event of which Eryri were pioneers in being involved with the inaugural event under “Arfon Sports” Those who will be involved will certainly enjoy the opportunity which may not come our way again in the near future.
