A teenage girl has died after emergency services were called to reports of a medical emergency at a Welsh rugby club. Dyfed Powys Police said they were called to the Ammanford area on Friday evening, November 15.

A spokesperson for the force said that a female teenager became unwell and was taken to hospital where, sadly, she passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning.

She added: "Our thoughts remain with the family at this difficult time."

It has been confirmed that the girl's death is currently being treated as unexplained and a report will be prepared for H.M Coroner.

The Welsh Ambulance Service said that crews were called to Amman United Rugby Football Club in Ammanford at around 9.55pm.

A spokesperson said: "We sent an emergency ambulance and crews were supported by a Community First Responder and Cymru High Acuity Response Unit paramedics. Advanced critical care support was delivered by the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service in a Wales Air Ambulance charity helicopter."

As a mark of respect the club postponed all games at the weekend. A statement posted on X said: "Due to unforeseen circumstances the club will be closed - and all games are postponed - out of respect."
