On behalf of our members the committee at St Peter’s RFC agreed unanimously to vote in favour of the resolution proposed for the EGM on the 26/03. A more diverse management board with the skills to take the game forward in Wales is a good thing 💚🖤

It is very difficult to put into words the sense of grief people are feeling after the passing of Mike Evans today . Club Legend , great friend , true rock , incredible player . Devastating news and taken far too soon..St Peter has finally found his Captain. 💚🖤💚🖤
Our condolences go out to the family of Lee Taylor after his sudden passing away.A committed St Joes boy at heart as Head Coach of Cardiff and District Youth Lee had a positive influence on a lot of younger players from all clubs in Cardiff at the start of their playing careers.
It is with deep regret that we announce the premature death of our good friend and former player Kevin Walsh (53) who passed away on Monday 21st September after a long and brave battle with cancer .
Our prayers and good wishes go to his family at this very difficult time 💚🖤
It is with great sadness and profound shock we announce the sudden passing of Peter ‘Pedro’ Spiteri . Pedro has been with the club since 1968, as a player and also as team Rubadub / Medic. A true rock and a good friend he will be missed 💚🖤

A gutsy display from the U14s against a strong , physical Merthyr side but it wasn’t to be Merthyr win 22-8. But boys should be proud to have reached the final and they showed lots of skill and heart…future of the Rocks is looking good
🖤💚🖤💚

Try time !! Ed Poynter seals the deal in final minute of the game and converts his own try ...Rocks maintain their unbeaten record winning 24-15 at home to Abercwmboi . Hard fought game but boys stuck it out and got the W !! 9 from 9
@RhysapWilliam
No, unfortunately
@cardiffcouncil
have yet to ban dogs from playing fields !! Think the councillors must figure a lot of dog owners have votes … it will take the loss of an eye or limb before any definitive action is taken
Congratulations to Jac Lloyd, one of our former mini & junior players who starts at 10 for Wales u20’s tonight against Scotland .

It is with deep regret we announce the passing of Frank ‘the tank’ Sullivan. Player , Coach , Committee Man and Volunteer for over 50 years Frank was a well respected and loved member of the Rocks community. Our thoughts go out to his loving wife Marina and family 💚🖤
Great to see a plan of action from the WRU for the start of rugby again. Vital to get all our players from minis right up to the vets back on the field where they belong. Let the good times Rock and Roll 💚🖤💚🖤

Hats off to our young guns who lost on Friday 13-10 to Cardiff Met . Although playing a physically bigger , older side all the lads fronted up and put in a good shift !! We still won the Blue Black Premiership League title . Futures looking good for the green and black 💚🖤
All change at the Rocks as we welcome new Head Coach John Dunleavy back to the club where he first started off playing rugby a fair few moons ago 🙄🙄, see details below 🖤💚
Great to see 8 of the young guns coming up into the senior set up next season. Quality players looking to make their mark and give the new coach a few selection headaches !!The lifeblood of a successful club is its junior teams and have to admit the futures bright

Senior rugby cancelled in Wales but Youth and M&J allowed to go ahead to minimise disruption to parents and players 🤦♂️🤦♂️.. Senior players regularly swap work shifts, turn down overtime weekend work and arrange childcare to play , Makes no sense🤷♂️🤷♂️
