players fitness has been a big target and we’ll continue
to work on it as we move towards next season. With
the brand of rugby we’re playing that is important and
should pose club’s in the league above some problems.
“Next season we’ll be looking to consolidate our
position in the league as we have a good squad of players
now. We’re also hoping to be able to produce a second
team and aren’t too far away; it may be that most of the
games will be midweek so that there can be a bit of an
overlap. We’re hoping to bring some more players in to
allow us to continue to develop.
“We’ve also started a rugby league mini section for
the summer and have had good numbers so that is really
positive. Some of our first team are helping out with
the coaching and that is hopefully a first step towards
establishing ourselves at mini and junior level. We
need to have a youth section in place so that they can
eventually go on to represent the team at first team level.

“One of our biggest challenges is raising funding
to support the club. Our President Phil Thomas backs
us and has done for many years and is a vital part of
the club; a real stalwart and cult hero. We have a really
good committee but would like to add some more young
blood on that side. We’ve people here that work very
hard and they make Hirwaun the club that it is and keep
us moving forward. We recently held our club dinner
and were able to recognise all of that which is very
important.
“In the next five years I’d like to see us climb up to
Division Two. I think that that would be a level that we
could sustain if we continue to do things right. It is also
crucial that we get a youth section up and running if the
club is going to continue to be successful. There is a lot
of competition for players in the area so we will continue
to work hard to make sure that they are well looked after
so that they stay with us.”
