“With the new format, and the matches all being played at the Arms Park, there is a different buzz about this year’s competition.”
Sue Butler, S4C sports commissioner said: “S4C will be showing nine matches from this year’s Championship.
“We missed the Under-20s on our screens back in February and March and are delighted to see the Championship with us for the summer. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the young players to showcase their talents to a wider audience, and we’re looking forward to seeing all six teams in action.”
Sian Gwynedd, head of content production for BBC Cymru Wales said: “It’s incredibly exciting that every game of this Championship is going to be available for viewers to watch free to air on BBC Two Wales and S4C.
“It forms part of a brilliant summer of sport which will keep fans on the edge of their seats as the tension unfolds.”
