12th May:  2013 Fixtures now up on the website. Just click on the fixtures tab at the top.

12th May: We have decided on a format that will hopefully lead to a more competitive league for this season, with plenty to play for until the very end. 

The competing sides are as follows:

Grange Albion
Grange Catholics
St Peters RFC
St Michaels 
St Albans
Rumney RFC
Pill Harriers
Splott Cons

The format is as follows:

1. All 8 teams will play in the premier division, and will play each other once. 

2. After everyone has played each other once, there will be a league “split”.

3. The top 4 teams in the league will again play each other once, with the prize being the DEWAR SHIELD.

4. The bottom 4 sides will play each other once, with the prize being the FIRST DIVISION SHIELD.

5. The bottom 4 sides will also play a separate cup competition for the SILVER BOWL.

The Ted Peterson Cup and the Bill Barrett Cup will be contested by all 8 Sides. 
The Silver Bowl will be contested by the bottom 4 sides only.

This will ensure that ALL sides will have something to play for and will ensure a much more competitive league from start to finish.
