Welcome to the official website of

Clwb Rygbi Aberystwyth Rugby Football Club

The Club has come a long way since its formation in 1947 when it lost its first fixture against a College 2nd XV by 24-3. It achieved full membership of the WRU very early in its history in May 1954. After several temporary homes the first Clubhouse was erected on the Plascrug site in 1960. The current Clubhouse was constructed in the mid seventies after a fire burnt down the original prefabricated building. A major extension saw the formation of a lounge bar and extra changing rooms some years later.

Neges oddiwrth y Cadeirydd

Estynnir croeso cynnes i chwaraewyr, cefnogwyr ac ymwelwyr i Glwb Rygbi Aberystwyth yn ystod y tymor 2007/08.   Bu’r clwb o fewn trwch blewyn i gael dyrchafiad y tymor diwethaf unwaith eto.

Ond rydym yn dal i fod yn Adran 3 y Gorllewin. Mae disgwyliadau o gemau cyffroes yn erbyn pedwar tîm o Geredigion sef Aberteifi, Llanbed, Llanybydder a Chastell Newydd Emlyn. Edrychwyn ymlaen hefyd i wahodd clwbiau eraill o’r gyngrhair, pump o Sir Gaerfyrddin a dau o Sir Benfro. Disgwylir i’r gyngrhair fod yn gystadleuol. Gobethiwn yr un peth am gyngrhair y Canolbarth lle bydd yr Athletic yn brwydro.

Mae cyfundrefn hyfforddi newydd yn ei le ar gyfer y tymor newydd gyda Brian (Stack) Isaac wrth yr helm. Fe fydd yn gyfrifol am pob t î m yn y clwb o’r plant ieuengaf trwyddo i’r tîm cyntaf. Dil Jones fydd hyfforddwr y tîm dan bedair ar bymtheg. Mae Dil wedi gwneud gwaith rhagorol i’r clwb ac rydym yn ffodus i’w gael.

Mae’r clwb yn dibynni’n drwm ar yr hyfforddwyr a phawb arall sy’n ysgwyddo cyfrifoldebau o bob math. Mae’r ymrwymiad yn arbennig a gyda Brian wrth yr helm, gobethiwn am dymor llwyddianus.

I orffen, diolch o galon i’r hysbysebwyr a noddwyr sydd mor bwysig i’n cyllid. Ni fyddem yn galli fforddio rhedeg ein tîmoedd hebddynt. Diolch yn arbennig i’n prif noddwyr, Brian Evans o Cambrian Tyres a Robert Read o Cambrian Printers.

Mwynhewch eich Rygbi!

Chairman’s Message

A warm welcome is extended to players, supporters and visitors to Aberystwyth RFC during the 2007/2008 season. It has been a case of so near and yet so far for us regarding promotion for the last couple of seasons. We continue to be in Division 3 West but have the exciting prospect of 4 local derbies, these being against Cardiganshire clubs namely Cardigan, Lampeter, Llanybydder and Newcastle Emlyn. We also look forward to greeting the other clubs in the league, five from Carmarthenshire and two from Pembrokeshire.

We look forward to a highly competitive league. Hopefully we will get the same for the Mid Wales league which looks stronger than for some years. This can only be of benefit to our Athletic XV.

We have a new coaching regime in place this year headed by our Director of Rugby, Brian (Stack) Isaac. He will have much on his plate as he will also oversee the junior section. Dil Jones continues as youth coach and we are indeed fortunate to have his services. The club relies heavily on its hard working coaches and helpers. The commitment is excellent and with Brian at the helm we are hoping for a good measure of success.

Lastly, many thanks to all our advertisers and sponsors who contribute so much to our finances. Our particular thanks go to our main sponsors, Brian Evans of Cambrian Tyres and Robert Read of Cambrian Printers.

Enjoy your Rugby!

Mike Thomas
