Little is known about the early years of the Club, but it is believed to have been founded around 1890. The 1st World War then interrupted its development, and it wasn’t until 1919 /20 when the club took part in the Pembrokeshire Knock Out Cup for the first time, that rugby in the town began to develop. Unfortunately, the club suffered a slight set back during the 1920’s and early 30’s due to soccer being played in the town, and it was difficult to get players to play rugby. This resulted in the committee resigning and the club disbanding in January 1930

Situated on the coast of the Vale of Glamorgan, Llantwit Major RFC is a rugby club with a rich history dating back to the early 1880’s. Whilst there is speculation that the club were playing fixtures in the early part of the 1880’s the first recorded match took place on the 20th of November 1889 between local rivals Cowbridge. Despite the defeat this match created an appetite for rugby in the town and it wasn’t long before they started to boast some well-known rugby names.  In 1895 a local masonry worker Ernie George played for the club with George later going on to get capped for Wales. By the turn of the 20th century Hugh Hughes and David William Evans had also represented the blood and blacks whilst going on to establish international reputations.

The Athletic Club is a state-of-the-art building situated in the small village of Cefn Cribwr, near Bridgend. The Club is warm, friendly & ideal for the whole of the community.Cefn has celebrated over 125 years of rugby in the village. Its new clubhouse was completed in December 2013 and the members are very proud of this modern, environmentally efficient building. Prior to this new building, the old clubhouse had been located in the old Miners’ Welfare Hall at the centre of the village. The old clubhouse opened in 1964, but the need for a clubhouse at the playing fields was actually first recognised by the Committee Minutes of 1961!

Llanrumney RFC are a local Community Sports club formed in 1976, situated in the heart of the Llanrumney area of Cardiff and operating from the historic Llanrumney Hall. The club has strong ties with the community varying from holding charity events, senior citizens events or simply holding a car boot sale.

This year has seen the club come on in the last few months, which is mainly due to the passion and commitment of Ashley “Giffy” Gifford and John “Sid” Ball, who give up their free time to coach, train and teach the boys. Through, team work, hard work and discipline Llantwit Major Lions under 9’s have created a winning football team. We look forward to following their football skills progressing.

Known as the “blood & blacks” the team are showing signs of some great rugby at their age. The team benefits from a fantastic team manager – Melanie Griffiths, and team coaches – the 2 Dai’s, all who give up their free time to teach the boys a great game of Rugby!

Piers Consulting have been proud to support the team with new hoodies for the boys coming up to winter, keeping them all a bit warmer on the side lines.

Asked by the by club if we could assist in supporting the older age group with training tops and T-Shirts for the club P.I.E.R were more than happy to assist. How good do they look in the new kit!

P.I.E.R were approached by team coach – Leighton “Snipes” Rosser, on behalf of the team who were in need of a new team kit for the season ahead. P.I.E.R were only too happy to support this worthy cause by providing sponsorship.
