| WELCOME
A warm welcome to the West Mon PILCS RFC Web Site.
The club is based at the PILCS Social Club, New Road, Pontypool and
plays its matches a short distance away at the Skew Fields,
Griffithstown. (Click for Map)
The club exists to provide a regular game of rugby at a relaxed level
for some thirty players and members that are drawn primarily from the
New Inn and Griffithstown areas of Pontypool.
Training is held every Wednesday (none of that twice per week nonsense
in this club) commencing at 7.00pm at the clubhouse under the watchful
eyes of coaches Tony Watkins and Mark Jones.
The team plays in the Second Division of the Pontypool and Newport
League and is currently captained by Prop Matthew Touhig who is
obviously a devil for punishment.
History
Old Westmonians RFC was formed in 1949 with the first match being
against Talywain RFC on Christmas Eve (which we lost).
For the next thirty years of its existence the club was based at the
West Mon Old Boys Social Club at Pontymoile until that building was
demolished in the early 1980's.
Following this the club led a rather nomadic existence and after
several lean seasons was forced to disband in 1983 due to lack of
numbers.
After a resurgence of interest the club reformed in 1986 and
eventually located to the Pilcs Club in 1994.
The club is now known as West Mon PILCS RFC.
