umney RFC is a terrific example of a well-run club that is achieving success on the field whilst retaining its amateur
status. Their Chairman, Derrick Morgan, took the time to tell us more about how they have been getting along lately.
He told us, “I have been involved with
Rumney Rugby Football Club for over
25 years and served as Treasurer for 18
years. I have always been a Member
of a Rugby Club wherever I lived and
Rumney is conveniently only 500 yards
from my home. The most challenging
aspect of my role is the control of the
clubs finances and the most rewarding
is the realisation that we have managed
to pay all of our bills.
“The mood at the club at the moment
is one of elation due to the fact that
our First XV is at present sitting in 2nd
position in our League. We are also
fielding a 2nd XV, a Youth Team and

teams at all age groups from Under 7’s
to Under 16’s.
“As always the success of all teams
within the Club would not be possible
without the Team Coaches, Team
Managers and many volunteers giving
freely of their time to promote the game
of Rugby.
Paul Fowler is an ex player and sponsor of Rumney RFC and he
recently told Rugby Club Magazine, “I have a big family connection
with Rumney, I played as blind side for the youth when I was 17 and
then stopped playing and returned a few years later when I was 30.
My son Daniel played junior rugby and my nephew Lewis Mills ,
who was also a product of the clubs mini junior set-up, played rugby
for Welsh youth and went on to play rugby league for Welsh Rugby
League.
My cousin John Leadbeater, who is out with injury with a badly
broken arm, is 1st team captain. I can’t speak highly enough
about the work the club have performed in the community and the
structure, which has been built through hard work.
My business Paul Fowler Tipper Hire has sponsored the club for a
few seasons and will continue to help as long as we can. I would
like to wish everyone associated with the club continue success and
good luck for the future.”
