Junior Scorpions set for triple header action
SOUTH Wales Scorpions' junior sides play a triple header against Warrington Wolves at Caerphilly tomorrow.
The under-16s are up first, at 11pm, before the under-15s kick-off at 12.45pm, with the under-18 academy side starting at 2.30pm.
With the Scorpions first team not in action this weekend, youth is taking centre stage.

"Numerous players have come through our systems to make appearances in Super League and Championship One which shows the long-term strategy is starting to pay off."
Scholarship coach Lee Cullen added: "It's our job to prepare players for the next stage in their Rugby League development and we have had a really good season.
"We've had some really good performances at under-15 and 16 levels and this has been underpinned by some fine individual efforts.
"All the players are going in the right direction. Their core skills have improved dramatically and a lot of the players are showing that they are ready to progress onto the next level for them as a rugby league player."
Scorpions head coach Dave Clark has been equally impressed with the youngsters produced by the academy and scholarship set-ups.
"It's fantastic to see the youngsters progressing in Wales," Clark said. "Take Courtney Davies who made his debut last Sunday on his 18th birthday and scored a try and two goals. He played for about 20 minutes and he did well. He'll come with us to Workington next week."
