The Official Website of Gilfach Goch Rugby Club

Club History

Gilfach Goch Rugby Football Club was established in 1889 and has been a member of the Welsh Rugby Union since 1956. 

Our clubhouse, in High Street Gilfach Goch, has been our base for the past 40 years. In that time many people have come and gone, but one thing has remained the same, the effect of Rugby and the Rugby Club on the community. This is a community club, and with over 170 players currently involved in teams run by the club, you can see our roots stretch deep into the heart of the valley. These roots are continually developing, especially with the development of our Junior section of the club. We currently run the following teams :- 1st XV, 2nd XV, Youth XV and many mini rugby teams from Under 8's up to Youth age.
