Playing division 3A for the 2021-2022 Season. Back to back league champions 2014-2015 3b East 2015-2016 3a East. National Bowl winners 2010. Family friendly
The Committee and Members of Abercarn RFC send our condolences to the family of Paul Higgins, who sadly passed away recently. Paul was a true gentleman who loved to watch his sons play and coach for the Club. He will be missed.
Tomorrow’s game marks a very special occasion club captain Aaron Davies. He makes his 250th league appearance for the club. The man is a true leader, and charismatic character on and off the field. He also coaches the U10s team alongside senior duties.
