On Friday, one of our own received heartbreaking news.
Today we played for Regan, his dad, Kelly and the rest of the family.
Our thoughts are with the Fleet Family and friends.
Our win is dedicated to Darryl Fleet.
We at Rhymney Valley are incredibly saddened by the recent passing of Ethan Hamer.
Ethan was a dear friend to a large percentage of our current squad and as a mark of respect we will be having a minute’s silence to honour Ethan ahead of our fixture with
@U15SSRU
this evening.
No words can express how we feel hearing our friend,work colleague & former RV coach,”GL”has passed away following a short illness. Anyone who knew GL would know his love & energy he had for the game that he devoted many years too. Our thoughts & love are with Liz & their 2 girls
The scene is set for the arrival of the players tomorrow at
