Hide AdPage said: "It's [the campaign] given a lot of the younger lads in the group experience of playing at this level.
"Half the team are eligible to play in the next campaign so there's a lot of positives there.
"Robbie Burton tonight... it was his first start and I was really impressed with him - he controlled the tempo of the game, getting on the ball and being brave on the ball and it bodes well for Welsh youth football."
