Two youngsters Evan Davies and Seren Francis enjoyed the experience of a lifetime last month when they ran out on to the hallowed turf of the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, in front of 60,000 people.

They were mascots for the Guinness Pro 14 Regional side Newport Dragons in the match against the Scarlets.

Evan was escorted out on to the pitch by the man who scored the try by the way of an interception, Josh Lewis, while Seren was escorted by Wales international Ross Moriarty

Their chance to run on to the field with the stars came about via an initiative founded by former Greenhill School pupil Ty Francis MBE in 2018 called SponsorOurClub.org.

The organisation hopes to connect Welsh ex-pats and individuals from around the world with Welsh youth sports teams in need of financial support.

The programme is initially focusing on girls football and rugby teams accredited by the FAW and WRU, and mixed ability teams across Wales, with Ty and Alayna already supporting Tenby United’s South Pembs Sharks and Kilgetty AFC girls teams.
