They have undergone a busy
summer as they look to improve
and have added to their coaching
staff with the addition of Llyr Lane.
Llyr has played for sides including
Newport, Ebbw Vale and Cardiff
as well as having experience of
coaching roles at Ebbw Vale and
Neath. Llyr is set to work alongside
Head Coach Steve Law, Forwards
Coach Ian Gardner, assistant
forwards coach Pat Mcgee and
Strength, Conditioning and Assistant
backs coach Stefan Sankala.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Llyr said, “Its
great to be here at Bedwas and hopefully I can pass on
some of my experience to the excellent squad Bedwas
have assembled this year.”
The club has a history of having high quality players
representing them and one of these is Richard Powell
who holds the record for the most points scored in a
season with 186 in 2011/12. He has also recorded their
highest number of points in a game with 26 against
Cross Keys.
Their leading try scorer is Stuart Thomas who has
crossed the line an impressive 27 times whilst fellow
player Devi Mattravers has 20 to his name. They have
also had 5 players to have scored hat-tricks.
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 to be able to produce their
own talent, particularly in the current financial climate
and this is an area that they appear to have covered.
Coaching staff overseeing their development are
confident that they have a number of players with the
potential to enjoy a bright future.
There is much to admire about the set-up that Bedwas
currently has in place and this is allowing them to play
a vital role in their local community. Hopefully they will
be able to continue the good work that they have been
doing for many years to come and Sport in Profile
Magazine would like to wish them the best of luck.
The club is clearly committed to finding and producing
more quality players and this is reflected by the superb
youth section that they have in place. This part of the
club looks to provide young people from the local area
