Swansea Uplands 0 Aberaeron 60

Amassing another record score, Aberaeron keep the pressure on the front runners with this emphatic win over hapless Swansea Uplands. Following another week of inactivity, it was a case of brushing away the cobwebs once again before putting the hosts to the sword with a real scintillating second half performance. One must feel more than a little sorry for the home ...

Aberaeron 63 Llangwm 7

Not unexpectedly, Aberaeron duly got their season back on track with a comfortable win against lowly Llangwm. The visitors record shows a mere two successes this term and this encounter never really threatened to enhance that statistic. An ideal opportunity therefore for Aberaeron to dust off the cobwebs after the enforced break for the internationals, and this they did ...

St Davids 3 Aberaeron 25

Never an easy hunting ground, and with the Saints showing much improved form this year, this could potentially have been the proverbial banana skin for Aberaeron. The final scoreline on the other hand shows a comfortable success but this was only achieved in the final quarter when the visitors found another gear with a quickfire brace of converted tries for a somewhat ...

Aberaeron 38 Pontyates 0

Despite the emphatic scoreline, there was sense of disappointment at the final whistle as Aberaeron failed to reproduce the flair and form which had brought a record success at Pontyates earlier in the season. Over eagerness by the home side coupled with dogged defence from the visitors resulted in a fractured affair which left the considerable support very much frustra ...

Neyland 20 Aberaeron 9

Despite a brave if somewhat rearguard performance it was a case of one game too far for Aberaeron as they succumbed to fellow high flyers Neyland and in the process relinquishing the last unbeaten record in the division. A depleted squad were always on the backfoot against an abrasive home unit whose bulk and determination were the deciding factors under difficult condi ...

Aberaeron 46 Bynea 0

With their last league encounter a distant memory way back in October, Aberaeron finally got their season back on track with this comfortable success against lowly Bynea. Not unexpected following the long layoff, a considerable following witnessed a stuttering first half from the hosts, as they stove for the bonus point success to close the gap at the top of the league. ...

Aberaeron 6 Cardigan 3
Despite the scoreline which could reflect a drab encounter, this second round Pembrokeshire cup match was never dull, with tries the only missing ingredients to provide real Xmas cheer. It also gave the homesters the opportunity to pitch their talents against higher level opposition, and the eventual victory proved the perfect tonic to next week’s league resume’ after an ...

St Clears 8 Aberaeron 17
A superb defensive second half display ensured the Seagulls maintain their unbeaten run at the expense of fellow high flyers St Clears. After three landslide victories against the lesser teams, scoring points very much at will, this one proved to be a real heavyweight clash, with Aberaeron showing true resilience in the face of considerable pressure in the second period, ...

Aberaeron 77 Swansea Uplands 7

Over 200 points scored in the last three league games would suggest that Aberaeron can already look forward to playing at a higher level next term. However the statistics will confirm that the points have been amassed against the bottom three sides in the league and such is the gulf in class in Division 5 West that most of the other front runners will also fancy t ...

Aberaeron 18 Bethesda 23

A storming second half comeback by the North Walians was enough to deprive Aberaeron a place in the next round of the Swalec Cup competition. With both teams undefeated in the league this term, a close result was always on the cards, and after eighty minutes of high entertainment, it was Bethesda who did just enough to take the spoils. It had looked o so different at th ...

Aberaeron 53 St Davids 10

It was indeed more of the same at Parc Drefach on Saturday as Aberaeron followed up their previous week’s landslide victory with another crushing success, this time the victims being St Davids. With confidence understandably oozing from the unbeaten run , the hosts were never under threat, although it did take a little time to move into top gear. A strong wind across ...

Pontyates 8 Aberaeron 83

Despite a record breaking performance, Aberaeron will be left to reflect on a somewhat fractured performance and despite running in 13 tries, several other opportunities fell by the wayside. Pontyates are having a really torrid time this time round, with confidence at a low ebb, relying on an ageing squad who have obviously seen better days . It was one way traff ...

Aberaeron 10 Neyland 10

It was heartbreak at the death at Parc Drefach in this encounter with Neyland sharing the spoils with a last gasp try in the ninth minute of injury time. Both sides had gone into the game undefeated and it is little consolation for the hosts to relinquish the lead at the final whistle. The visitors posed a powerful threat from the outset and Aberaeron were forced on to ...

Aberaeron 18 Furnace 17

Despite not being at their best, Aberaeron remain unbeaten after this difficult encounter against one of the promotion favourites. Furnace finished last term in style and nearly gained promotion, so this always promised to be an interesting affair and in fairness the spoils could gave gone either way. As it was, the hosts recovered from being two scores behind to snat ...

Bynea 3 Aberaeron 39

Expectation and ambition remain at the top of the agenda for any worthwhile coach at the start of the rugby season, and for Aberaeron RFC Alwyn Davies is no different. After several seasons of under achievement that is Aberaeron Rugby Club, there is a belief that this season could finally bear fruit and elevation to a higher lever. This success arguably against lower op ...

Aberaeron's Festival of Sevens will be held at the Rugby Club, Parc Drefach, Aberaeron.

The festival will start on Thursday the 27th of August, with the Under 9's & Under 11's. Friday evening will see the Under 13's and Under 15's, whilst the Youth and Ladies tournaments will take place on Saturday 29th. The main event, the Men's event, is held on Sunday 30th.
Entries for the senior event cons ...

St Davids 10 Aberaeron 38
The curtain finally fell on the Seagulls’ season with this comprehensive success against St Davids. Originally scheduled for early January, this rearranged encounter proved to be a frustrating affair as the visitors struggled to overcome a dour home defence, very often treading a fine offside line. A considerable gale meant a game of two halves, with Aberaeron facing t ...

St Clears 8 Aberaeron 15
In conditions reminiscent of mid winter, Aberaeron took the honours in this hard fought encounter. A strong gale and periods of driving rain served to spoil the game as a spectacle but a dour defensive display coupled with two opportunistic scores in the first half was enough to take the spoils for the visitors. St Clears with the wind at their backs in the first half we ...

Aberaeron 34 Fishguard 14
Meeting for the third time this season, Aberaeron duly completed a cleansweep with this emphatic win over Fishguard. The previous two games had been very close affairs, but the result of this encounter was never in doubt as the hosts controlled matters from the first kick, with Fishguard rarely threatening to build on their midweek success at Milford. Returning personnel ...

Aberaeron 37 Llangwm 3

With half the team at the tender age of 21 or under, it was the relatively older generation that stole the show in this comprehensive success over the visitors from South Pembrokeshire. Forced to blood the youngsters as a result of injuries to senior personnel, coach Alwyn Davies will be confident of the future as the squad continues to develop, but will also be grateful ...

Swansea Uplands 0 Aberaeron 34

A rearranged encounter on a Friday night deep in the Swansea valley has definite banana skin potential, but a competent and assured display from Aberaeron at the Uplands ensured a pleasant journey home. The hosts are not enjoying the best of seasons and despite an energetic and sometimes abrasive approach, the skill and technique displayed by the visitors overca ...

Milford Haven 19 Aberaeron 15

Despite the defeat, coach Alwyn Davies will be left with a selection dilemma following this courageous display against championship contenders Milford Haven. His backline savaged with injuries from the previous week, he was forced into wholesale changes but the incoming personnel displayed a mature performance which bodes well for the future of the club. Never an ...

Wales Women Under 20s raced over for 12 tries to record an emphatic 73-0 victory over England Colleges at Llandovery on Sunday.

The young Welsh side were in total command throughout and led 34-0 at the break. The English Students just couldn’t break out of the Welsh stranglehold despite the best efforts of the visiting props Abbey Constable and Charlotee Micallef who always made the hard yards ...

Aberaeron 9 Cefneithin 23
Succumbing to their first league defeat in seven league games, Aberaeron will do well to learn from this defeat as the league leaders showed the composure and then the ruthlessness required to gain the honours , come season’s end. Again, as in the previous week’s encounter at Lampeter, the home side competed well and more than held their own especially in the first hal ...

Lampeter 17 Aberaeron 6

And so the dream comes to an end. The fairytale ending of a journey that started way back in September never materialised and the dream of gracing the Millennium Stadium is not to be. The hire suits will have to be cancelled for another time, with neighbours Lampeter keeping the flag flying for West Wales. With much at stake, this was never a classic as the teams cancel ...

Aberaeron 20 Fishguard 19

Another success at Parc Drefach puts Aberaeron into the last sixteen of the Bowl competition but it could very well have been a different story as Fishguard just failed to grasp victory with the last kick of the match. The exciting finale could never have been predicted in the opening half as Aberaeron threatened to run amok racing into a fifteen point advantage in the ...

Aberaeron 17 Furnace 12

Despite the adverse conditions, the sparse crowd at Parc Drefach were served with an entertaining afternoon as Aberaeron duly gained revenge over table topping Furnace. A strong gale and intermittent driving rain could have spoilt the game as a spectacle but credit to both sides for displaying excellent skills under such poor conditions. Surprisingly Furnace chose to pla ...

Neyland 0 Aberaeron 27
Despite the earlier set back in September at Parc Drefach it was a case a of sweet sweet revenge as the Seagulls posted a real threat to the rest of the league with a comprehensive defeat of a very much frustrated Neyland outfit. The development over the last few months has added much impetus to expectation and the impact of the younger element especially in the backline ...

Aberaeron 25 Tenby 19

The Bowl competition of the Swalec Cup may be the last chance for silverware, but the sparse crowd at Parc Drefach were treated to an entertaining game with the Seagulls edging out their higher level opponents minutes from the end. Credit must go to both teams for defying the elements to produce an afternoon of tension and Aberaeron will be doubly pleased to have put t ...

Aberaeron 6 St Clears 6

Aberaeron’s last league game of 2008 proved to be very much a disappointing affair after they fought out a dull encounter against fellow mid table partners St Clears. Under surprisingly good conditions with very little wind, there were expectations of greater entertainment, but dogged defence coupled with lack of any real attacking threat from both sides resulted in a ...

Fishguard 13 Aberaeron 15

In the battle of the Seagulls it was the Cardi version that eventually came through to take the spoils. Unbeaten at home the Pembrokeshire outfit would have been confident of maintaining the record, but a dogged performance by Aberaeron, with very much a rearguard effort in the second half just about managed to swing the balance. Playing in strong sunshine in the firs ...

Aberaeron 3 Llangefni 11


Aberaeron’s dream of further progress in the plate competition of the Swalec cup came to an abrupt end in a match dominated by a strong gale at Parc Drefach. In a real tale of two halves, the ball hardly left the north end of the patch with Llangefni’s advantage in the first period carrying the day. The visitors elected to play with the wind advantage in the first ...

Aberaeron 19 Pontyates 0

Despite the success, celebration was somewhat subdued at Parc Drefach on Saturday night. With expectation high after a determined performance in the cup the previous week, a bonus point win was very much on the cards, but in the end the Seagulls fell tantalisingly short of the target, and had to settle for a comfortable win. Pontyates may be near the foot of the table, ...

Llangwm 6 Aberaeron 25

Llangwm proved a happy hunting ground for the Seagulls as they returned home with a bonus point win. Never the easiest of places to visit with a vociferous support and often abrasive approach, Aberaeron snuffed out any chance of a home success from the outset, with only a lack of clinical finishing preventing a far bigger margin at the end. Despite again having to reshuf ...

Cefneithin 7 Aberaeron 0

A solitary bonus point for the Seagulls was scant reward for a brave effort in adverse weather conditions against one of the more fancied teams in Division 5 West. Driving rain and a strong wind coupled with a heavy ground meant that this encounter would be a tightly fought and Tudur Jenkins’s squad can count themselves unfortunate not to share the spoils after an eve ...

Aberaeron 36 Swansea Uplands 6

Aberaeron finally got their season under way at the third time of asking with a comfortable win over Swansea Uplands. Having struggled in their first two games, the home side were again beset by injuries, especially in the backline but Tudur Jenkins’ side still had too much in reserve against spirited visitors. Forced to blood the younger element, coach Alwyn Dav ...

Aberaeron 8 Neyland 15

Newly relegated Neyland showed they have no intention of staying too long in Division 5 with this opening day success at Parc Drefach. Under testing conditions with a strong gale blowing across the pitch, it was the Pembrokeshire outfit who adapted better on the day , demonstrating a determination that the Seagulls were unable to combat. The home side would have been rel ...

A very successful Presentation Evening of the Junior Section was held on Friday, 25th April, 2008. Three juniors "kept it in the family" by claiming the Players' Player Trophy at Under 8's level, Under 9's and Under 10's. Cousins Tudur Jenkins, Dafydd Llewelyn and Morgan Llewelyn were awarded in these categories respectively. Arwel Price was awarded the Under 11's trophy; Sam Robson at Under 12 ...

Llandybie 38 Aberaeron 12

The curtain finally came down for the season for Aberaeron with a disappointing defeat in the rearranged encounter with Llandybie. With nothing at stake the visitors were forced into may changes due to unavailabilities, but credit must be given to the incoming personnel for keeping the result in the balance until well into the second half. Indeed Aberaeron held the adv ...

St Clears 13 Aberaeron 27

A second bonus point win on the bounce consolidates Aberaeron’s third position in Division 5 West. Having again missed out on the big prize, the Seagulls are finishing the season in style, and but for those few blemishes earlier in the year, the Parc Drefach outfit would now be dreaming of life at a higher level. Despite showing several changes in the line up, the visi ...

Aberaeron 46 Pontyates 10
Aberaeron comfortably disposed of Pontyates in this rearranged encounter on Wednesday evening at Parc Drefach. Having failed to raise a side the previous Saturday, the visitors at least managed to get fifteen on to the pitch, albeit with uncontested scrums and the appearance of several with different socks does question the make up of their squad as invariably happens wi ...

Aberaeron 20 Llangwm 15

It was a case of sweet revenge for Aberaeron as they turned the tables on a much improved Llangwm outfit. Having lost narrowly, and slightly controversially, on their rearranged trip to South Pembs in midweek, there was little need for Alwyn Davies to gee up the troops such was the determination throughout the squad. Llangwm on the other hand showed a few changes in the ...

Llangwm 27 Aberaeron 22

This defeat can be attributed to a large extent to the lack of backbone and direction within the WRU. Consideration has to be given to available facilities , namely floodlights, when postponed games are arranged in early April and the lack of leadership and influence on this occasion can only be described as deplorable. To enforce a team to travel 90mins and expect to k ...

Cefneithin 10 Aberaeron 7

Fortune did not favour the brave in this top of the table encounter. A sterling effort from a much changed Seagulls outfit fell just short at the final whistle and puts a serious question mark against any promotion ambitions. Unavailabilites and injury meant a vastly rearranged back line, indeed questioning the dedication of some individuals at a crucial time of the s ...

The Under 8's Tag Team travelled to Pembroke Dock RFC on Good Friday to participate in the District H Under 8's TAG Rugby Tournament. Glorious weather was matched by glorious rugby throughout the day. Aberaeron were placed in Group 2 and played against Pembroke Dock Quins with the result being 5-2 to Aberaeron; the next game was against Cardigan, with the result being 5-0 to Aberaeron; then on ...

Aberaeron 16 Fishguard 0

A thoroughly professional performance saw the Aberaeron Seagulls comfortably dispose of the challenge of their Pembrokeshire counterparts. Having slipped up in recent weeks, there were a few questions to be answered on the day, but the style in which victory was achieved means there is still much to play for in the remaining few weeks of the season. A strong gale at ...

Furnace 16 Aberaeron 11

A second successive defeat means Aberaeron have a tough finale to retain interest in promotion. Injuries and unavailabilities proved to be a major disruption on the day and as against Bury Port, dominance at forward again failed to provide the spoils against a youthful Furnace side. Credit however must be given to home side who put up a brave defence and were always dan ...

Aberaeron 3 Burry Port 25

Forget the final scoreline, this was a hard fought encounter which should have seen Aberaeron’s territorial supremacy see them replace Burry Port at the top of the table. How they failed to capitalise on the day will remain a mystery, as Port were subjected to a lesson in forward play for the vast majority of the game. The front row of Downes, Davies and Evans gave t ...

St Davids 5 Aberaeron 32

In arguably their best performance of the season, Aberaeron duly completed the double over St Davids.
Under perfect conditions, in total contrast to the previous week, the Seagulls displayed a ruthless streak to outplay the home side in every facet of play, and in scoring the four tries gained the all important bonus point. The Saints home form has been a minor revelat ...

Huw Williams has finally taken the plunge and got hitched up in New York. The former Seagulls stalwart now teaching at Santiago, Chile only broke the news after the event, probably to avoid sending out the invites. He will be well advised to put a little aside upon his return.
Best wishes to the happy couple. ...

Aberaeron 12 Penygroes 3

Despite the atrocious conditions, Aberaeron duly completed the double over Penygroes. With Parc Drefach resembling a paddy field at the end it was credit to club members that the game was played at all with standing water on the pitch at the start of the day putting the fixture at risk,. As it was the game ran its full course and although understandably not a classic, ...

Aberaeron 29 St Clears 0

Despite this comfortable victory over St Clears the result was overshadowed by a serious injury to home flanker Adam Jones. The effervescent back rower had began the game in storming fashion giving the home side the edge against a poor Saints outfit. During the opening period Aberaeron had quickly brushed away the Xmas blues racing into a winning position within the ...

Pontyates 3 Aberaeron 17

Despite this comfortable victory, it was muted celebration after Aberaeron’s success at Pontyates. With the importance of the bonus point becoming ever more evident, missed opportunities such as this may well have a crucial bearing at the end of the season. From the outset the result was never in doubt as the visitors’ superior forward power penned the home side within ...

Aberaeron 6 Cefneithin 13

Aberaeron relinquished their grip on their leadership of Division 5 with this narrow defeat against fellow high flyers Cefneithin. The contest was however somewhat ruined by a strong gale blowing across Parc Drefach and open rugby had to make way for a kicking game which the visitors duly won on the day .
Winning the toss was the key to success with Cefneithin conte ...

Penygroes 8 Aberaeron 10

Despite an indifferent performance from the referee, another victory on their travels elevated the Seagulls back to joint leadership of Division 5 West. The match report would normally reflect on team performance and entertainment value but such was the influence of the whistle and baffling decisions throughout the game that as a spectacle this became a non event.

The Under 8's Tag Team experienced a great evening of Rugby at the Stradey Park on Friday, 2nd November, 2007 as they played during the interval against Llangennech Under 8's. Aberaeron were victorious, winning 2-1. Both Aberaeron tries were scored by Ianto "Lightning" Evans.

Fishguard 8 Aberaeron 18
In the battle of the Seagulls it was the Cardi version that secured the spoils to climb to the top of Division 5 West. In what is becoming a closely fought league, away results will very likely determine the final league placings and this win not only consolidates a high position but the manner it was achieved will give confidence for the games ahead. Contrary to their u ...

Aberaeron 2nd XV 12 Lampeter 2nd XV 0
On a damp evening at Parc Drefach, it was first blood for the Seagulls before the Boxing Day encounter when the visitors will undoubtedly be eager for revenge. A keenly contested game was evenly balanced until a real flash of enterprise from the home backs resulted in wing Trystan Jones crossing under the posts, the move having started on their own line wi ...

Aberaeron bounced back to winning ways with this hard fought victory against a plucky Furnace side. But for long periods the result could have gone either way before the visitors fire was finally doused. The biggest difference on the day was the home side’s supremacy up front with the rolling mauls being a major factor in gaining territory. As in the previous week, forward possession was in plenti ...

Despite overall forward dominance, Aberaeron’s failure to convert pressure to points resulted in the first set back of the season for the Seagulls. Starting the day joint top of the division, both teams would have realised how vital this encounter would be if aspirations of promotion come next May are to be realised. As it turned out the enforced changes in the visitors backline meant a lack of c ...

Despite the final scoreline , Aberaeron had to fight hard to register their second success of the season. For long periods in both halves the Saints dogged defence kept the Seagulls at bay, and it took flashes of brilliance to create the try scoring opportunities. From the kick off Aber were guilty of several indiscretions and the visitors took advantage from the boot of Colin Reynolds to take the ...

Taking advantage of the World Cup free weekend, an Aberystwyth XV provided the ideal runout for the Drefach outfit on Friday night.

Aberaeron 24 Llandybie 18

A close encounter at Parc Drefach saw the Seagulls just manage to gain the spoils against a gutsy Llandybie side in the opening game of the season. The never say attitude of the visitors resulted in an exciting finish with Aber more than relieved to hear the final whistle. What looked like a comfortable success for much of the first half became a frustrating second pe ...

The Seagulls extended their unbeaten record to six as they eventually disposed of a dogged Llandybie side who started the day in third position in the league. In fairness the game should have been over as a contest in the first half as Aber had opened up a 27 point advantage with the wind on their backs, with the visitors showing very little in the way of attacking options. Their only saving grace ...

Aberaeron’s revival continues with a fifth win on the bounce against a plucky Pontiets outfit. Under difficult conditions with a gusty wind the contest was settled in the final minutes when the Seagulls gained just reward their second half domination deserved. For much of the game, especially the first period, the two teams cancelled each other out with very little penetration of opponents defence ...

Despite having to contend with uncontested scrums, Aberaeron ran out comfortable winners against their Pembrokeshire opponents. Llangwm, were in third position in the league before kick off and it was a surprise that they were unable to call on a front row from the start. The home side’s forte in recent weeks has been the control of the front five in the set pieces, but to their credit they adapte ...

A successful penalty in the final minutes saw the Seagulls extend their recent run of success with this hard fought victory against Cefneithin. The result however was in the balance right up to the final whistle as the visitors tried in vain the salvage the game but were thwarted by stout defending from the home defence.
Both teams were evenly matched and it was of little surprise that the score ...

In the mud and rain in Scarlet country, the upturn in the Seagulls fortunes continued with a comprehensive defeat of Furnace. Followers of the Parc Drefach outfit are normally used to flowing back line action but the glory on this occasion undoubtedly went to the front eight, who completely outfought the home side in all aspects of the game. It was clear from the start that the elements would prov ...

The long awaited first success on home soil finally arrived against Fishguard in arguable the Seagulls best performance of the season. A few positional changes in the starting line up raised eyebrows before the kickoff but this proved to be a master plan by coach Alwyn Davies as the home side controlled the game from start to finish. The game was virtually over as a contest by half way as Aber had ...

Despite the final scoreline this was a much improved performance by the Seagulls. The league leaders on their own patch was always going to be a steep hill to climb and given Aber’s recent form, they must be given credit for restricting the hosts to five tries on the day. The only disappointment was that they came away without a point scored, but given Tycroes’s record of only conceding five point ...

Their season of woe continues for the Seagulls as they tumbled to a shock defeat against lowly St Davids. On the day credit must go to the Saints who despite failing to score with the wind at their backs in the first half produced a brave display in the second period outscoring Aber by two tries to nil. For whatever reason last season’s form is strangely missing this term and there is a need to bo ...

Not a classic by any means but a second consecutive win on the road provided a welcome boost for the Seagulls in their disappointing start to the campaign. Bynea may be pointless and marooned at the foot of the table but to their credit they never threw in the towel and asked the visitors defence several questions especially in the second half. Aber on the other hand, despite a stuttering display ...

Aber’s season suffered a disappointing start with an opening day defeat at Pontyates. Under blustery conditions the visitors downfall was the result of failing to amass a first half advantage with the wind on their backs. Pontyates after the disappointment of failing to complete last year’s campaign were really up for the battle and they consistently spoiled the good possession that Aber gained, ...

From the depths of despair following 3 consecutive defeats the Seagulls season finally ignited with this comprehensive win against previously unbeaten Llandybie. The form book was thrown out of the window on a pleasant afternoon as the visitors rediscovered the style and cutting edge missing at the start of the season. Again forced to make several changes to personnel, they rarely looked in danger ...

The final scoreline may have flattered the visitors, but Aber’s third defeat of the season was the result of lack of finishing and cutting edge. The cause was not helped by no less than 7 enforced changed in the starting lineup, with injuries and unavailabilities becoming a major concern. Penygroes on the other hand are reaping the reward of a flourishing junior section with several of last year’s ...
