Rhiwbina Squirrels make history

While several rugby clubs face problems even fielding one side on some Saturdays, Rhiwbina RFC created their own piece of history on Saturday 17^th February when they fielded four senior sides and a Youth team.

One of the club’s aims is to make rugby accessible to all players at all levels, and this includes the club’s highly successful Mini & Junior section which fields teams from Under 6s to Under 16s. Club Chairman Ian Hall said:

“Our team of exceptionally dedicated volunteer helpers and coaches ensure that organised rugby is available to hundreds of players every weekend. I’m fairly confident in saying that Rhiwbina was the only club in Wales to field four senior teams this weekend – a remarkable achievement.”

For the record, the results of the five teams were:

Rhiwbina 1^st XV 31 St Joseph’s 1^st XV 19                  Division One East Central

Rhiwbina 2^nd XV 42 Pill Harriers 2^nd XV 29               WRU Conference

Llanishen 2^nd XV 14 Rhiwbina 3^rd XV 15                    Cardiff & District Premier Div

Rhiwbina 4^th XV 21 Pontyclun 2^nd XV 25                   Cardiff & District Div 1

Llanishen Youth 42 Rhiwbina Youth 53                    Youth League
