Abercwmboi
Rhydian Collins has been the clubs mini and junior chairman for the past two years and he recently told Rugby Club Magazine about his positive association with the club . He told us , “ I played tight head for the club both as a youth player between the ages of 17 to 19 and as a senior player in the 2nd and 1st teams .”
“ Unfortunately , a neck injury has stifled my playing career at the moment . I have chaired our mini and junior section for the past two years as well as coaching the U11s . My sister Bethan Davies has four of my nephews and nieces involved with the club , Owen in the U11s , Grif in the U13s and Fletcher in the rugby tots , my niece Mackenzie who is 19 is a great help around the club and kitchen .
“ My business The Village Caterers which I formed in 2009 is also a club sponsor . We have a great setup at Abercwmboi Rugby Club and I would like to wish all of my friends continued success for the future .”

Julian Parker of club sponsor Parker & Son construction Ltd recently told Rugby Club Magazine , “ Myself and Phil Lewis both lived in the village and we both knew many people but had never crossed paths oddly enough . When I met my wife Pat over 16 years ago I also met her brother in law Phil . Phil introduced me to the rugby club and I have been a social member and sponsor ever since .
My main sport was motocross doing circuits all over England and Wales but I do enjoy the rugby and of course the social side too . It ’ s wonderful that the club are doing so well this season and I would like to wish everyone associated with Abercwmboi Rugby Club the very best of continued success !” www . rugbyclub . biz 57
