Improvements set to go Ahead - 28/07/2010

Good news for supporters is that the upgrading work designed to enable the club to meet premiership requirements is in the final stages of planning.
By the end of September the Dairyfield lights will be of the necessary standard and the Welfare Ground lights will also be upgraded to provide good improved illumination for training.
Also in place by then should be a disabled viewing area which will be on the Dolau end of the grandstand.
The improvements are being financed by a combination of Millennium Trust grant, club funds, and sponsorship.
Sponsorship Secretary Len Price is delighted that our two main sponsors in recent years, Excel Power Construction and Service Control, have renewed their support.
“These two companies have been of immense value to Llanharan RFC over the years and we are indebted to them for their continued input,” he said.

JUSTIN IS ENCOURAGED - 19/07/2010

Senior training is now underway, although understandably at this time of the summer many players are unavailable.
However, new skipper Justin Jones was still upbeat about things in general:
“I was encouraged by the new faces that were on the paddock and also the skill and effort that was put in throughout, it was refreshing.” he said.
“Hopefully over the coming few weeks the numbers will increase and slowly the squad for the coming season will take shape.
“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Scott Malone on the captaincy of the Youth, knowing Scott he will lead from the front and hopefully we'll see him involved with the first team at sometime during the season.
“Looking at the fixtures for the beginning of the season, I don’t think we could get a tougher draw. Ebbw Vale have fallen from grace and the word on the grapevine is that they have made some significant signings this year which shows their intentions of being promoted straight back into the premiership.
“Saying that I believe that we have a strong squad and will be able to compete with whatever they throw at us. (and I’d much rather be going Eugene Cross Park at this time of year rather than in the depth of winter).
“I always like to take one game at a time but on viewing our second fixture, Newbridge, it’ll be another big game. Over the last two or three years Newbridge have been the most competitive and consistent side in the league, they always have a strong squad and no doubt will be competitive again this year. Again this will be a tough encounter but I feel that we prepare and play better when the opposition is of a high standard so I do look forward to both these games.”

Seconds in New Competition - 13/07/2010

Our Seconds enter new territory next season when they take part in the newly formed East Wales Second XV league.
They will still retain involvement with traditional fixtures by participating in the East District and Mid Glam cups.
The team which won the Mid Glam league last year, kicks off with a tough one as Cross Keys visit Llanharan on September 4th.
The change of league is favoured by our coaches who believe it will provide a good quality competition necessary to keep our senior squad in good shape.
Full list will be uploaded shortly.
