Welsh rugby icon on Wales’ controversial defeat to All Blacks in 1978

Caerphilly-born Welsh rugby icon Steve Fenwick discusses Wales’ controversial 1978 defeat to New Zealand in his autobiography.

Bargoed remain unbeaten this season after beating Maesteg Harlequins, while Bedwas fell away to Trebanos.

Bargoed scored eight tries in a dominant win over Ystrad Rhondda, while Bedwas crushed Tata Steel and Cross Keys scored a late winner.

Bedwas grinded out a win over Cross Keys at a rainy Pandy Park in the WRU Challenge Plate.

Three-time Super League winner Ben Flower, from Abertridwr, has announced he is joining Pontypool RFC following his rugby league retirement.

Thirty-six-year-old Lampard, who has played for Cross Keys since 2005, has the second highest number of appearances for the club.

The WRU has teamed up with the Calon Hearts charity to install the equipment, free of charge, at more than 300 clubs this season.

Bargoed clinched a 24-22 win at the Bridgefield in Bedwas, with the hosts coming away with a losing bonus-point for their efforts.

Tributes have been paid to former Caerphilly and Wales B second row Paul Jones, who has died aged 49.

The win marked Bargoed’s third win in three games, having already beaten both Bedwas and Cross Keys this season.
