Zak Jones has appointed defender Rick Gay and mid fielder Huw Jones as vice captains for the Welsh National side as a very strong supporting double act for team captain Matt Ruxton. Matt is delighted as 'both players have impressed on and off the field and their experience will be invaluable'. The team and its leadership will be tested in their build up to the EuroNations Trophy campaign, starting on 1 August in Wrexham, with up coming fixtures against two of the top 4 Nations in Europe; against England at Bisham Abbey (4pm, Sunday 21st June) and against Spain in Spain next month. In between, the Welsh side travel to Edinburgh to contest the Celtic Cup.
