Page 4 - Brecon v Crymych

Club, a position that exceeds what has been
achieved through the 150+ years that Brecon
Rugby Club has existed. Those current
unknowns of this pleasingly elevated position in
the League Structure, are matched by the fact
that, as a Team that will now ply its trade in the
Championship West, we will have the fantastic
opportunity to visit pastures new in the western
counties of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire
and Ceredigion, in addition to trips to Swansea,
Port Talbot and the Tawe, Amman and Llynfi
Valleys.
The Senior group has recently been working
very hard in pre-season training, under the
guidance of Director of Rugby, Dale Mackintosh,
and his accomplished coaching and support
team. The high technical level of coaching that
is being provided by this group, allied to the
committed efforts of the playing squad, is
necessary to allow our teams to have the
requisite skill and fitness levels to enjoy their
new challenges on the paddock. The Club
remains committed to supporting the ambition
of our Senior Playing Group, and we look
forward to some positive new experiences on
our latest journey.
It is inescapable that the direction of the Senior
Teams, provides a model and inspiration for our
younger playing members, and this collective
ambition, and commitment to the Brecon
cause, remains a critical driver in enabling the
Club to progress in many ways.
We welcome, and are grateful for, the efforts
of all the coaches and parents who are
currently bringing on our younger Members,
under the direction of Al Taylor, and we look
forward to the conveyor belt of talent
continuing over the coming years.
As ever, the success, and operation of the
Club, is only sustainable through the
continued commitment of our Membership
body, and we look forward to working with
all to maintain that success and enjoyment.
Equally, we are indebted to the support,
and generosity of our Sponsors, as this
remains a bedrock for us in terms of being
able to provide the opportunities for our
Playing Members of all ages.
In eagerly anticipating our visits to pastures
new, we hope that your support of the team
will continue and, equally, we look forward to
welcoming new faces to Parc de Pugh, and
making new friends throughout the season.
We look forward to welcoming you to our town
and Club, and we are sure you will enjoy your
Breconshire experience under the care
of Sharon and her staff at our clubhouse.
Finally, to all our other volunteers who give
up their spare time in support of the Club,
we thank you sincerely and we hope to see
many more of you during the season.
Julian Edwards
President, Brecon RFC.
