Briton Ferry RFC
Briton Ferry Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team from the village of Briton Ferry, South Wales. Although rugby was played in the area prior to 1888, it wasn't until the merger of several smaller local teams the Briton Ferry RFC was formed. The original team was bolstered by many steel workers recruited from the local works. Their first international player was Edward Pegge, who in 1891 represented Wales against England.
Former club captain, Martyn Bate, is in the final stages of concluding his novel on the history of Briton Ferry rfc. The book launch date is soon to be announced. Signed copies will be available on request.
Briton Ferry RFC is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Ospreys.
