Dai Lewis is a long term fan of Newcastle Emlyn RFC and
he recently told Rugby Club Magazine, “I have been supporting
the club for many years but more so over the past 5 years
when I stopped playing golf due to a shoulder injury. I have also
sponsored the club for around 5 years now and it is great to see
the boys doing so well. I feel that they are great ambassadors
for West Wales rugby and are flying the flag for all the clubs in
the region who are quite close-knit. I would like to wish everyone
associated with the club continued success.”
Our ambitions are to purchase more land and create a
fourth pitch, extend our car park and look to build some
form of indoor training facility.”
Director of Rugby Marc Lloyd also took the time to speak to
us, saying, “By now I have been involved with the club off
and on for around 25 years, from the days of playing for the
junior sides, through to the Youth and then for the 1st team.
“The most challenging aspect at the moment has to be in
keeping all squad players happy in regards of the amount
of time each player plays. At present we luckily have the
strongest and largest squad most probably the club has
ever had. Watching us win games by playing an attractive
brand of rugby that we as a club have worked hard upon
installing in our game plan is the most rewarding thing.
“At the moment the club is buzzing - this is clearly shown
not only in the support we get during home games, but also
at away grounds. The vibe during training, prior to match
days and during match days shows that. In a way nobody
associated with the club wants to see this season finishing!
Dai Bryant is Newcastle Emlyn’s 1st team tight head prop
who started playing for the club in 1988. He told Rugby Club
Magazine recently when he was asked his age, “Yes I am 27
now,” he laughed. “I am just so proud to be part of this team and
of the young men in the squad who are an excellent bunch of
players who are both talented and very professional.
I have played in each division for the club since Division 6 and
our training regime was very different back then. I know our
current young lads are very meticulous about their preparation
and go beyond the call through conditioning themselves
physically with their training regime out with the usual
expectations.
We have a very together club at Newcastle Emlyn and this is
from top to toe including the chairman and committee to our
coaches, players, fans and members and I would urge the teams
to continue giving their all for the rest of the season.”
