Using the old cliche, a great advert for community rugby y’day. 2 young sides

going at it full on, superbly controlled by the referee. More of this wouldn’t go amiss. Great the result went in our favour but huge credit to the players of both sides.
Proud day for our club. Congratulations to all players and coaches, and all those who have helped and contributed throughout the season. Hugely deserved success.
Hey
@St_JosephsRFC
what do you want us to do with the food we prepared for you yesterday ? No-one, nobody, not one soul from your Club managed to make the seemingly impossible 500m trek from the ground to the clubhouse. Poor.
Class, this. Youth team boys playing senior rugby for

today, each acquitting themselves very well. Proud moments each time this happens; well done boys.
Cardiff Blues v all current Aviva Premiership clubs
Travel distance - there and back - 2934 miles
Cardiff Blues v Stormers
Single journey 8300 miles.
Nonsensical, and it can’t be commercially sound.
I hope these fixtures provide the stimulus Welsh club rugby needs; I hope it’s what players wanted most. Same format pan-Wales, so let’s hope the public’s eye is caught, and players respond by providing quality, entertaining rugby. Really looking forward to it

Brilliant for the town, really quite proud of how this event has grown over the years. A lot of hard work and preparation goes into this, and a great experience to participate 👏👏👏
Another serious accident resulting in two hospitalisations last night on the A4059 ‘Newtown Speedway’. Worst designed piece of road in living memory. Put a roundabout there or get rid of the second lane
@RCTCouncil
Just popped in the club to just check everything ok. It would appear that the period of mourning has ended (if, indeed, it ever started).
Lots of people having a good time. Good news.
MA RFC left town at 5.55am this morning to travel 170 miles, with a full squad plus travelling reserves, stopped for breakfast, trained at local leisure centre, and still got to the venue 90 mins before ko. Community rugby club, mind.
@PhoenixRugbyRFC
Yep - The Valleys is a core rugby region.
Covers Rhondda, Merthyr, Ponty, Rhymney, Gwent Valleys and Neath etc - Former coalfields of Wales.
Disgrace it does not have a pro team.
Why talk about Hallowe’en and Bonfire Night? Why the fuss? Can’t people go without a pumpkin and a fucking sparkler for just the once? It won’t be the end of the world if little Billy misses out. Bastard entitled lot.
The Club’s 10-day challenge has ended and what an effort it has been from everyone!! Over £6k raised for

Even better news is that he is officially a Mountain Ash player in readiness for 18/19 and so pleased that the WRU have agreed an NDC 👍😀

going to SA has betrayed the integrity of the sport. Not blaming players (but each could have said no), but administrators who pull the purse strings should be ashamed.

Our boys gave a great account of themselves and are absolutely looking forward to the return fixture at The Gnoll.
This sort of thing is so pleasing. It makes the Sunday morning slogs all worth it. More so, it means

New Zealand abolishing social distancing next week. Let me think. What geographical feature do we share with New Zealand?

Would you mind removing the background photograph please? I don’t think it’s particularly helpful to use a photograph of an actual club premises. I’ll let you guess why.
Hey

.....no chance of dropping the forecourt prices, is there ? Brent gone down $12 a barrel in the last month, yet you’ve put your price up in the same period. Tell me straight...you don’t give a fuck, do you ?
The pool is open from 12 noon on Saturday 24th for the 6 week school holidays
Please only access the pool between 12noon - 6pm while life guards are present
Max of 33 in the pool will be allowed and 33 pool side
Please treat the staff respectfully who are there for your safety
Dilemmas for RFC’s. Ballots for tickets, first come/first served, highly unlikely any away supporters, unsupervised ‘parks’ pitches, alienated fan base, discontented sponsors, it goes on. Who’s running the show? Isn’t it fairer for all to suspend fttb?
@Rreesrugby
There are sanctions in place for this kind of episode. Clubs have already been sanctioned; Pontypool RFC cannot be treated any differently.
It can’t be right that every time that dishevelled twat appears on the telly, he’s either ‘apologising’ for something or other, or defending himself over some allegation
#JohnsonTheLiar
Dear Disruptive Element, do your level best to keep the name of our town out of the media spotlight this weekend, won't you ? Ta ever so.
Advice: Stay in, and do some revision .👍.
Attn all broadcasting companies…Thanks, but there really is no need to keep on apologising for swear words picked up on microphones. I’m not in the least bit offended. Is anyone?
Good luck to all the boys representing
