Resolven Resolven RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB R esolven RFC is based at Vaughan Field in Neath and their first team competed in Division 3 West Central A of the SWALEC National League last season. It is believed that rugby was first brought to Resolven by engineers Charlie Thomas and Alf Morgan with their first matches being played at Tan-y-Rhiw. Over the years the club has been able to put together a history of which they have every right to be proud and were able to celebrate their 125th anniversary in the 2010/11 season. They marked the occasion in style as they won the Division 5 South Central League only losing one match in the process. They also reached the final of the West Wales Rugby Union Plate and made it to the quarter finals of the Glamorgan County Silver Ball competition. www.sportip.biz 33
