Machen Youth win league and cup double in unbeaten season

Machen RFC’s youth side have finished the season unbeaten and secured both league and cup silverware.

The side, which is Bedwas RFC’s second team, had already won the Dragons Athletic League winners cup this season.

Bedwas RFC head coach Stefan Sankala has stepped down from his position, the club has announced.

Bedwas finished their season on a high with a nine-try romp over winless Tata Steel in the WRU National Championship.

Former Scarlets back-rower Jack Condy, who was born in Aberbargoed, will take over as Bargoed RFC head coach next season.

Three tries in the last ten minutes saw injury-hit Bedwas sink to defeat at home to fourth-placed Ystrad Rhondda.

Seven-try Bedwas breezed past Tata Steel for a well-deserved win on a warm afternoon in Port Talbot.

Bedwas head coach Stefan Sankala came onto the pitch for a two-minute cameo as his injury-ravaged side beat Trebanos.

Bargoed earned Caerphilly County Borough bragging rights after a convincing derby win over Bedwas.
