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.
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.
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 1980s.
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.
