another player returning to the fold
has also been hugely beneficial and his
goal kicking for the season has probably
been in Halfpenny mode.
“Allied to this, some of our more
experienced players have been able to
play on a regular basis thus resulting
in us having a more settled team. I
must also mention that there have
been a few significant new recruits to
the senior team who have put in some
delightful performances this season and
contributed greatly to the team effort
“Youth and Junior teams have always
been of great importance to this club
and we are indeed fortunate to members
who are prepared to give up their time.
We have a dedicated coaching staff of
ex-players who take care of our Youth
side and Sunday mornings is the time,
come rain or shine that the junior section
have their playing time.

Rob Davies is the current club President of Pontyberem Rugby Club
as well as being a long term sponsor with his business Just Wales Ltd. He
recently told Rugby Club Magazine, “I played in the position of full back for
the club from the age of 19 to 36 when I then felt I was too old to continue.
After my playing days ended I coached for a while before becoming Chairman for ten years and subsequently club president 3 seasons ago. This season many of our past players have returned to the club and as a very family
orientated club we hope this continues and view our position as a village club
and one that will continue to attract past players.
Towards the end of the season we were seeing around 300 fans per game
which for a club of our size is quite remarkable. Our youth and junior players
have always attracted interest from bigger clubs and in a recent higher level
match 8 or 9 of our previous youth players were on show. Our club structure
is second to none and has an atmosphere which is difficult to beat so I envisage many happy days ahead for Pontyberem Rugby Club.”
