Bedwas end season on cloud nine with Tata Steel rout

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.

Idris Davies School’s Under-16s girls rugby team has won the National Schools Final at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

Bargoed bounced back from defeat to league leaders Pontypool with a bonus-point win at second-from-bottom Trebanos.

Bedwas RFC scored two late tries to see off Cross Keys in a high-scoring but ill-disciplined Caerphilly County Borough derby at the Bridgefield.

A minute silence was held before kick-off in memory of former Bedwas player and sponsor Peter Thomas, following his death aged 79.
