nant
conwy
this season and have been declared
champions of the Youth Section in North
Wales after their latest win last Saturday.
They are also through to the semi-final
of the North Wales Youth Cup as well.
The lowest ‘win’ percentage of our Junior
Teams is 81% whilst the highest is 98%.
e.g. our Under 14 side were really proud
last Sunday when they entertained the
touring side [Reeds Weybridge] who
had an unbeaten record for 4 years. Nant
Conwy won the match 31 - 15!”
Progression
“Three players from the Club are playing
on a regular basis for RGC 1404 - the local
Welsh Championship side whilst two explayers have represented Wales recently.
One was the Wales Under 20 Full back last
season whilst the present Welsh Ladies
Senior Full back also spent all her Junior
and Youth years at Nant Conwy.”
Community
“We are most certainly a community
club. It is heart-warming to see around
250 youngsters training every Friday
evening, around 40 Youths training every
Thursday evening, around 50 ladies every
Wednesday evening and around 50 Senior
members every Tuesday and Thursday
evenings. On top of this, the Clubhouse
is in constant use by Community
organisations and thus far this season,
Nant Conwy has raised over £3,000 for
cancer Charities.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“Our biggest challenge is keeping the
interest of 2nd Team players due to a lack
of matches being played.
Our ambitions are;
1) Develop a third playing pitch
2) Tarmacking a larger parking area for
the site
3) Developing a ‘Youth/Junior Forum
4) Developing the site to be one of, if not
the best, in North Wales
5) Ensuring a high standard of rugby on
the pitch
6) Continuing to be as popular as a
‘Community Hub’.”
Wyn Davies of Davies Environmental Services
recently spoke to Rugby Club Magazine about his
positive association with Nant Conwy Rugby club,
“My son Gareth plays flanker for the senior squad and
although he is only 19 years old he stepped up from
the youth at the beginning of the season and is doing
very well.
I use to be a tight head prop for Abergele who were a
very successful club back in the day. The Nant Conwy
seniors have performed exceptionally well this year
especially if you take into account the younger players
coming on board and not really having a lot of time to
gel. Best wishes to everyone at Nant Conwy Rugby
Club for the rest of the season!”
