South Wales Scorpions on BBC2 Wales this Friday : Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:45 am
BBC Wales have confirmed that their feature on South Wales Scorpions will be broadcast this Friday evening on BBC2 Wales starting at 9pm.The very popular “Sport Wales” programme will be screened after the rugby union match between Leinster and Ospreys so will pick a strong rugby audience.
It can be seen on Sky Channel 102 in Wales and Sky Channel 991 outside of Wales.
A BBC press release says: “When Celtic Crusaders pulled the plug on professional rugby league in the south of the country and decamped to Wrexham, a new team stepped into the breach.
“Enter the South Wales Scorpions...the rugby league newcomers who play their National League games (sic) at one of the hotbeds of rugby union - The Gnoll in Neath.
“Sport Wales sends Lisa Rogers into the Scorpions' lair to discover how they're shaping up so far in their debut season, how big the appetite is among supporters and what the club's hopes are for the future.”
Interviews took place last Sunday at The Gnoll during the Scorpions' match against Oldham. The best action from that game will also be shown.
The Scorpions have no game this weekend as they have not entered this year’s Carnegie Challenge Cup. Their next home game is on Monday 3rd May when they take on high flying Blackpool Panthers at The Gnoll in Neath (kick-off 3pm).
Great news and great PR
