Llandudno
“I must also thank our 1st XV manager Mathew Tyson Cole who is ten years in remission from
bowl cancer and is a great club member and always influential in all club activities. Mathew
raises lots of money for the club by getting sponsors in and as a player he also played against
Jonah Lomu. He was a successful team manager and works his heart out for the club.”

Ian Williams is a 1st XV prop for Llandudno
who was part of last season’s Champion
winning team. At the age of 44 he is determined
to hang in playing till he can compete in a
match alongside son Aaron.
Ian told us, “After a time away from the
sport I ended up back involved when I took
Aaron down to the club as a nine year old, the
taster sessions he had taken gave him a great
appetite and love for the sport.
It wasn’t long before I was involved in
coaching his team and subsequently putting
on my own boots to play for the seniors in my
favoured prop position. These days Aaron is a
prop for RGC’s U18s and plays for Llandudno
when available.
Last season was great for the club and
having Kelvin there and his experience
made all the difference, there was a knew
confidence about the team as we progressed
through the season with many old attitudes
and fears being dispelled, we really enjoyed
ourselves and looked forward to many away
fixtures which at one time held trepidation for
us.
The club are fortunate to have great
people involved at all levels with Faye our
physio and Tyson our team manger springing
to mind amongst the many others who have
contributed beyond what was asked.
My business Cerrig Granit have always
enjoyed supporting Llandudno RFC in any
way we can and I would like to wish everyone
associated with this great club the very best
of continued success for the 2019/2020
campaign – let’s see if we can win this league
again!”
