The Warriors 2nd annual presentation evening was held in the Calsberg - Tetley Suite at Stradey Park. Guests included various dignitaries along with rugby players Garan Evans and Phil Bennett and international referee Robert G. Davies. All players (who had made 3 or more apperances) were given a medal. Opponent teams were given a pendant to mark the fixture and Leslie Dawe got a bunch of flowers for making the buffet.

Garan Evans (who had watched the match in 96/97) praised the improvments in playing standard whilst Phil Bennett narrowly lost a kicking contest with Dai Sprigs on miniture Stradey Posts - although, aptly, this could have been because it was officiated by Lewis Jones.

Lots of people played this year as the Warriors moved up from 7 to 12 fixtures. A very successful season ending with a big win against a Chris Karate lead White Lion XV. Asda were met for the 1st time with an eventful game at Peoples Park. The difference between the sides was the kicking of Dai Spriggs. Taking over from Roger Bowen he slotted 2 beauties whilst Roger broke his nose in a tackle.
