Glynneath
RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Glynneath RFC suffered the disappointment of relegation not long ago but
have wasted no time in picking themselves up. Club Chairman Morgan Francis
recently took the time to speak with Rugby Club Magazine to provide an insight
into how they are getting on.
He told us, “The mood at the club is good; getting
relegated from the WRU Championship I wasn’t
quite sure how we’d go in the Division 1 West
Central but it’s been nothing but positive, socially
it was a great Christmas with a lot going on in the
club which kept the Treasurer happy!”
“The season has gone really well, only losing one
player and adding five to the squad has made us
stronger. We are second in the league, reaching the
quarter finals of the WRU plate, semi-finalists in the
West Wales Cup and still in the Silver ball.
“Now we are looking to continue to grow as a club
both on the field and socially, to get all sections of
the club, juniors, seniors and supporters working
together to make sure that Glynneath RFC has a
secure future.
Graham Hirst of club sponsor Ministry of
Furniture recently spoke to Rugby Club
Magazine about his long and positive
association with Glynneath Rugby Club,
“Although not originally from the area I met
my wife Leanne, a local girl, back in 1999 and
consider myself part of the local community
now. Leanne’s family have always had a
strong association with the club so it was
very natural for me to become involved and
the club members always made me feel very
welcome.
My father in law, Malcolm Thomas, played
for the club from 1966 through 1972 and
was (allegedly!) a good centre and winger
and now my son Danny has followed in his
grandad’s footsteps playing for the club’s
junior section, predominantly at scrum half
or fly half.
Like the club, our business ethics are very
much about inclusion and local people.
Ministry is a business with Social Aims with
more than fifty percent of our workforce
at Ministry of Furniture being people with
a barrier of entry to work. We are keen
supporters of local sport, also sponsoring
Aberavon Wizards. We’ll be at the
Principality - looking forward to the up and
coming fixtures in the Six Nations.
I can’t speak highly enough about the Rugby
Club and the work they continue to perform
in the local community; Max Boyce MBE
is a great club president, always willing to
support local initiatives and businesses whilst
taking care of the grounds. Myself and all our
staff at Ministry of Furniture wish everyone
associated with Glynneath Rugby Club
the very best of continued enjoyment and
success for the remainder of the 2018/2019
campaign!”
