RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Llandudno RFC is a club that has enjoyed plenty of success in
recent times. Rugby Club Magazine recently caught up with
Club Chairman Robbie Shields to find out more about how they
have been getting along lately.
He told us, “I first played for this club at seventeen,
my first youth team coach was Howie
Roberts who is now our president. My
school sports teacher Dewi Miles
played and coached our 1st XV,
he encouraged all players to
play for Llandudno Rugby
Club and is now chair of
our development sub-
committee.
“The whole club and
certain individuals are
all challenging, to see my
old next door neighbour
Dave Davies whom I
grew up with become the
main sponsor of our club
last season, and his brother
John one of the 1st XV coaching
team, along with referee colleague
whom we reffed for north wales refs
society Ritchy Reece it was a very proud feeling

especially with Daves son Kelvin taking on player
coach responsibility and his nephew Day
Day being club captain. This was very
rewarding with all of us bought up
in challenging circumstances.
“The mood at the club is
great, like one big happy
family, with all members
getting
involved
and
certainly some fun times
being had at the club bar.
To have the 3rd battalion
Royal
Welsh
bring
shenkin the goat to our
annual dinner with Robin
Mcbryde as guest speaker
was great, the goat is our
emblem on our shirts. Goat
major Mark Jackson nicked him
from the Great Orme where I live,
so it was rewarding seeing him in such
good hands, the Goat is looking after him well!
