  • BLACK TIE DINNER

We can now confirm that the end of season Black Tie dinner for members and a guest will be at the clubhouse on Friday 17 May – 7 for 7 30 pm.

The all inclusive dinner will be accompanied by a rugby/sport/general knowledge Prize Quiz and a Question and Answer Forum with the club coaches.

Members are encouraged to invite or bring extra guests to enjoy the all inclusive evening at a cost of £60 per head – or tables of 10 discounted to £550

WRU regulations state:

National League placings will be decided on the basis of League points gained during the season. Where teams have gained equal numbers of League points, the team with the most wins shall be given preference. If the number of wins is equal, the team with the fewest losses shall be given preference. If the number of losses is equal then the Club having recorded the most tries in the Season shall be given preference. If the number of tries is equal the points ‘for’ shall be divided by the points ‘against’ and the team with the highest factor shall be declared to have the better record
