Shaun Lee, Coach Rumney RFC 1st XV : "This game proved to be a worthy exercise, giving us the chance to look at players in a match condition. The game was played with great intensity and I am sure both teams benefitted from it. I was pleased with our performance, some good passages of play were put together, there are areas that we need to look at and they will be addressed.

The first half was dominated by the Rumney side and four good tries were scored. We made wholesale changes at half time to enable players to have an equal opportunity to express themselves. The second period was a much tighter affair but the Rumney players worked very hard for each other and showed great character and scored a very good try.

I would like to thank Stourbridge for paying us this visit and would hope that we can return the fixture next season and I wish them well for the coming season."

Jim O'Brien, Rumney RFC : "This was a good workout for both sides. We dominated Stourbridge in the first half but they came back and had the better of the second half. There were more positives than negatives for Rumney and the game will have given the coaches a good indication of which players have the strongest claims for a first team position."

If you would like to play in the WRU League Division One or in the Cardiff and District League, please come along to training on Tuesday or Thursday evening from 6.30 at the Clubhouse in Hartland Road and have a chat with coach Shaun Lee about your rugby future in the Rumney 1st XV or the Athletic or 3rd XV. There's a place for everybody at this top club in the heart of Cardiff and you wll be made most welcome.

My name is Ian Smith, an ex-rugby player from the 60's and early 70's in the UK. I played for Scotland a few times at full back.  In trying to get in touch with old rugby playing friends, I realised there was no platform to help me to do this. I have opened a website www.exrugbyplayersreunited.com to help other ex players to contact each other.  Early responses are very good, and there is obviously a demand for such a service. I have contacted you because I believe you might be able to help 'spread the word'.

Registration is free, searching is free, and email addresses are kept confidential. There are spaces to enter every team played for, and also a database to list old rugby playing friends who you have lost touch with through the mists of time.

I know this site will work and supply an invaluable service, to many former players. It obviously needs lots of entries, the more it gets, the better it becomes.

I hope you will feel able to help.

Yours sincerely

Ian SG Smith
