He told us, “I’ve been Secretary for 8/9 years now and have
been with the club for around 20 years. Taking on the role has
been very challenging but very rewarding at the same time and
I thoroughly enjoy it.”
Atmosphere
“The mood at the club at the moment is very good at present. We
haven’t been successful in gaining promotion but we’ve played
some good rugby and both our 1sts and 2nds are going well.
That should give us a good platform to build on and hopefully
we can use this season as a bit of a springboard. We’ve finished

Nick Heggarty is a Director of HD Ltd, who are involved in the National Wales Tennis Academy project. He recently
told Rugby Club Magazine about his positive association with Bridgend Sports Rugby Club, saying “I was born and
bred in Bridgend and played on and off for the rugby club from the age of 26 for around four seasons.
My main position was 2nd row. I remember vividly the day I stopped, November 30th, as it was not only my birthday
but the day I scored my only try for the club, it was a good try, I ran 30 yards and delivered a handoff before scoring.
I am also a tennis player and the tennis club and rugby club are at the same facility. The rugby club is a great
community contributor that provides the best service to our local people.
The club coaches are of a very high standard, many of them having come through the club themselves. It’s wonderful
to hear the club are doing so well this season and I would like to wish everyone associated with Bridgend Sports
Rugby Club continued success well into the future.”
