History
Glyn Ceiriog is in a rural backwater of north Wales, one valley away from Llangollen and one hill away from Shropshire.
It has no rugby tradition to speak of beyond the wearing of red shirts.
In the early summer of 2008, a group of parents from the Ceiriog Valley together with a local secondary school teacher with a lot of experience coaching youngsters got together to form Clwb Rygbi Glyn Ceiriog.
During 2008-2009, training was held every Sunday morning on the local primary school field, with matches played both in North Wales and across the border, for Under-8s and Under-12s.
By the end of the season, the pitch boasted a set of posts that announce to anybody visiting that this is a rugby village.
The club has evolved to become an intregal part of village life, with 40 - 50 boys and girls regularly attending training and matches. We have players travelling from outside the valley, attracted by the friendly and inclusive atmosphere generated by running a junior and mini only club. Our aim is to provide access for any youngster to a sport that promotes team work, fair play and fitness.
