DESCRIPTION

RGC Supporters Fanzine

Citation preview

to the very first Issue of THE GOG.

This publica�on is aimed to promote the ac�vi�es of the RGC Supporters Club.

The Supporters Club is run by volunteers with the aim of promo�ng the game of rugby across

north Wales and in par�cular the very successful RGC based out of Eirias Park in Colwyn Bay.

In RGC’s very first compe��ve season playing in the SWALEC Division One East League the GOGS

WON the league and saw promo�on to the Championship.

The 2013/14 Season has started very well seeing RGC climbing up to 3rd in the League having

played some very experienced and established sides and proving without doubt that the mainly

very young and home grown players deserve to playing at this high level.

RGC are a well supported team who consistently a3ain greater a3endances than most in not only

the Championship but in the Premiership also.

RGC offers a unique opportunity for players from all over north Wales to reach any level. Whilst

many of our opponents in the south have a rich history over decades of players being capped at

na�onal level, RGC is already there with representa�on for Wales U20 and Wales 7s. One thing

for sure players from the north are ge9ng no�ced and it won’t be long before our first RGC

player gets a full interna�onal call and get to don the red cap and shirt. The last match by Coleg

Llandrillo was watched by none other than the current Welsh and Lions Head Coach - Warren

Gatland!
