IMART LLANELLI WARRIORS Player sponsorship 2025

I have been one of the lucky 32 players selected to play for the Llanelli Warriors team that will be travelling to Pamplona, Spain to play in the International Mixed Ability Rugby Tournament.

Mixed ability rugby is a game of rugby with one adaption to accommodate players of all abilities. The adaption is there is no pushing in scrums. This means that essentially it is a normal game of rugby.

The Llanelli Warriors are a rugby side who include neurodivergent and neurotypical players. The team was formed in 1995 to represent the Heol Goffa SAC, a day centre for people with learning difficulties. Some of the centre staff played rugby for a simialr team in Swansea, the Swansea Gladiators, and challenged the centre to raise a team. So in the best traditions of Llanelli - Swansea rivalry the West Wales Warriors met the Swansea Harlequins (name changes came soon after). The 1st match at Gorseinon RFC resulted in a draw and the Warriors managed to triumph in the re match at Stradey Park (on the Llanelli Wanderers pitch). The winners took possession of the Challenge Shield and this tradition was continued every time the sides met.
