Next Opponents Beddau,,,

Beddau had a village rugby team from around 1900 until the Second World War. During the war all the club's records were destroyed apart from a few remaining photographs of teams from the late 1930s. Beddau RFC was reformed in 1951-52 and has since been based in Castellau Road, Beddau. The club plays at Mount Pleasant Park, Beddau.

Founder members of the National League Division Six Central in 1994, Beddau gradually worked their way up the 'ladder' into Division One in 2002-03. In the 2006-07 season, Beddau RFC won the Division One East League, but were denied promotion to the Premier League as their grounds were deemed not meeting WRU criteria. This ruling was upheld at an EGM by 67% of members. In 2012 the Club was entered into the inaugural Swalec Championship and had several good seasons in the second WRU league tier before being relegated in 2013/14. In 2014/15 With new coaches Lee Davies and Ben Daniels at the helm, the Green and Golds led by Glenn Slater bounced back immediately to the Championship, winning the Division One East Central title in emphatic fashion - winning 21 out of their 22 fixtures and going unbeaten at home. Winning this league meant a Play-off game for promotion to the Championship against Penalta RFC which beddau won convincingly 22-13. Beddau have remained in the Championship since then, meeting for the first time and beating Ystalyfera 24-17 in the COVIT 'short' season of 2019-20.
