At one of the biggest grass roots competition for secondary schools in the summer term, the NASUWT Cymru Wales Cup & Plate Finals will take place at the Penlan Arena, Brecon on Wednesday 9th July.
The cup competition has been organised each year since 1988 while the plate final was added in 2007.
Schools from across the eight districts in Wales - Afan Nedd Tawe, Cardiff & Vale, Dyfed, Eryri, Glamorgan Valleys, North East Wales, Powys and South East Wales - will see teams who have qualified from their district competitions in May & June head to Powys. Each district has one team in the cup competition and one team in the plate competition.
