Representatives from New Tredegar RFC, Penallta RFC and Cross Keys RFC attended a special event recently at Penallta House council offices where they were presented with certificates of achievement from the Mayor, Cllr Gaynor Oliver.

The three teams got the chance to play at the Millennium Stadium in May during the finals of the prestigious annual Swalec tournament.

New Tredegar came close to victory in the Swalec Bowl final losing to Glyncoch in a very close game.

Penallta beat Nant Conwy in the final to claim the Swalec Plate.

Cross Keys won the Swalec Cup title after beating four times winners Pontypridd.

Cllr Harry Andrews, leader of Caerphilly County Borough Council, told the teams: “You can all be proud of these fantastic achievements – that’s why we thought it important to formally recognise your efforts in this way.

“It was also great to see the whole community rally together during the competition with hundreds of people of all ages travelling down to the Millennium Stadium to cheer on the players.”
