Year two course leader Stephen Williams said: “All three learners have had the grade profile they deserve; their success reflects continued high standards of attendance, punctuality and effort. Each of them was conscientious and committed to aim for distinctions in every assignment.”

Year one tutor Matthew Williams added: “These young men have taken advantage of the opportunity to gain qualifications for higher study, and access our unique rugby environment.”

Director of Coleg Sir Gâr’s Sports Academy, Euros Evans, stated: “We have the ability to group certain rugby players into the same class; they are together during their two-year course and all training and games.
