RC: Would you consider yours to be a community
club?
SM: Absolutely, This is an area we are focusing
on. We have advertised that any local charities
can use our facilities for free as well the families of
our players. I want the club to be seen as a family
friendly hub for our community.
RC: Regarding your facility, does it receive
favourable comments from visiting teams? Are
you keen to expand/improve on what you have?
SM: Llanidloes RFC is so well thought of
throughout the rugby community in Wales for our
facilities. It is a symbol of what can be achieved
with the right people with abundant enthusiasm.
We will always maintain our player focus but also
strive to keep improving our facilities for the next
generation to be as proud as we are.
RC: Are there any guys showing particular
promise at the club?
SM: The whole of the 1st team; it is incredible
what they are achieving this season and nice to see
some of our more experienced players back. Two
of our U16 team are now in the RGC U16 Team Celt Lewis & Ifan Jones.
I also have to mention my son Tom Morgan.
He’s playing his rugby in the Championship for
Cardiff Met this season, but has Captained Wales
Academicals, and been selected for both Wales
Students Union & League Squads.
RC: What do you believe could be some of the
biggest challenges the club may face in the next
5 years?
SM: Like many clubs, financial security will
always be a challenge. But to continue to attract
people to be involved in all aspects of our club will
remain the biggest challenge. We are very lucky to
have such committed members and coaches that
give massive amounts of their own time to ensure
the Boyos play rugby, and the club facilities are
there to support this and the community. We
always need new people.
RC: Where would you like to see
the club 5 years from now?
SM: To be a known as a
family friendly, community
club for everyone to
enjoy, with a full Junior
section from U8 to
U16, a junior Girls
section (this is
being launched
this
Month),
continuing
to
grow
our
Junior
festival held
on the 2nd
and
3rd
week
of
September
each
year
and achieve
one of the
largest
7’s
festivals
in
Wales
(We
launch the 1st
one on 18th July
this year). Also of
course we want the
1st team playing at
the highest standard
that we can achieve. Last
but not least we want a few
more Llanidloes Lads and
Ladies on the wall of the club
house with Wales caps.
