The club is set for another full and varied weekend, with teams representing Briton Ferry RFC across multiple fixtures from Friday 10th April through to Sunday 12th April. It’s a great reflection of the club’s increasing strength across all sections and the continued commitment to providing rugby for all.
Friday Night – Touch Rugby Returns Under the Lights
Friday night sees the return of touch rugby under the lights at the Ferry, with another exciting double header on offer.
Our Renegades welcome Tonmawr, while our Renettes take on Abercrave Giants, with both matches kicking off at 7pm.
These evenings continue to showcase the fun, fast-paced side of the game, with plenty of quality on display and a great social atmosphere around the club.
It’s the perfect way to start the weekend, competitive, entertaining, and open for all to enjoy both on and off the field.
Saturday – Seniors Aim to Get the Job Done
Our Seniors make the trip to Bridgend Sports on Saturday in a crucial fixture as the season nears its conclusion.
After the disappointment of a last-minute penalty defeat against Crynant, the focus this week has been clear, bounce back with a performance that secures the result needed. A win on the road would guarantee safety and remove any reliance on other results, something the squad will be fully determined to achieve.
Expect a committed performance as the boys look to put things right and finish the job.
Saturday at the Club – WRU Youth Semi-Final Action Continues
Back at the club, we are proud once again to host a WRU U18s National Youth Semi-Final, this time in the Plate competition.
We look forward to welcoming Furnace United and Rhiwbina for what promises to be another high-quality contest between two strong sides. It’s always a privilege to host these fixtures and to see some of the best young talent in Welsh rugby on display.
It will also be a special occasion as we welcome back former player Simon Rees, who will be returning to the Ferry with the Furnace United supporters as he watches his son Oliver take to the field.
We’re expecting another great afternoon at the club!
KO is 2:30pm – £5 Entry for adults and £3 for U18’s
Sunday – Minis & Juniors On The Road
Sunday sees our minis and juniors, the future of the club, in action across the region.
Our Under 8s and Under 10s both make the trip to Bryncoch, kicking off at 9:30am and 10:30am respectively, while our Under 13s travel further up the valley to take on Ystradgynlais, with a 10:45am kick-off.
These fixtures are a vital part of player development and continue to highlight the strength and depth of rugby at the club, with players, coaches, and parents all playing their part week in, week out.
Another busy and important weekend lies ahead for everyone involved at the club, and we look forward to seeing players, supporters and families getting behind all of our teams.
As always, a huge thank you goes to our volunteers, whose efforts behind the scenes make weekends like this possible.
