“Resolven’s success is a just reward for all of the hard work
that has gone into the club. Hopefully they will be able to
continue in the same manner for many years to come.”
Their first team enjoyed a season to
remember in 2015/16 as they marched
towards the league title, putting together
a record of eighteen wins, a draw and one
defeat from their twenty matches. This
saw them finish clear of the chasing pack
with a total of 88 points and everyone
associated with the club has every right to
be proud of the achievement.
One of the highlights of the team’s
performances was the attacking brand of
rugby that they were able to produce. This
was reflected by the fact that they racked
up 723 points at a rate of more than thirtyfive per game including 107 tries.
This will certainly have meant that any
supporters attending their matches will
have been well entertained and should

encourage more of the local community
to get behind the side in the future. This
in turn has the potential to provide them
with a valuable source of additional
revenue which may prove particularly
important in the current financial climate.
As a forward thinking club, Resolven
will now have turned their attentions
towards making sure that they are
successful once again in the new season.
As long as they are able to retain their
current group of players and perhaps
make one or two quality additions they
should be in with a good chance of
challenging for honours once again.
This is not a club to focus solely upon
their senior section however and this is
reflected by the fact that they also have
a number of youth sides in place. These
teams look to provide young players
from the local area with an opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable
environment whilst helping them to reach
their full potential.
It is important for any club looking to
be successful over a sustained period to be
able to produce their own talent and this
is an area they appear to have covered. It
will certainly be exciting to see how their
youngsters are able to progress.
Resolven’s success is a just reward for
all of the hard work that has gone into
the club. Hopefully they will be able to
continue in the same manner for many
years to come.
