of the ruck. His running game also came to the fore with a number of snipes and breaks catching the eye of all the spectators who were at Taffs Well Rugby Club to watch the game under lights. As a collective unit Wales put in an impressive performance and came away worthy winners defeating Japan High Schools by 33-12. Massive congratulations to Huw on what is an outstanding achievement.

KINGSTON YOUTH COUNCIL The Kingston and Richmond Youth Council is a group of young people that ensure the voice of young people is heard and acted upon in both boroughs. Praneeth Lakshman in Year 7 has been elected to the Kingston Youth Council. He has undertaken training to equip him with the skills and knowledge to be a confident candidate, who will represent the area where they live or go to school.

Having suffered a serious injury in Year 11, Huw had to sit out school rugby for the best part of 18 months. However being named as Vice-Captain for this year was testament to his professionalism in rehab and determination to get back on the pitch. This hard work was rewarded even further when after a number of camps and opportunities with the Welsh Exiles, Huw was named in the Wales U19 squad for an international fixture vs Japan on 19 th March. Huw started the game at scrum half and impressed on debut, showing great control and distribution at the back

Very well done, Praneeth!
