Bargoed RFC Under 15s

20/09/2026

Super proud of the whole squad today. 20 min games was new to us and boys played well, just went out and had a go. Only conceded 3 tries all day and that was against the current champions. Well done to all the teams that took part today and all the best to Penallta RFC U15's in the cup.

Semi finals plate here we come 💙

Massive thanks to Bargoed RFC U14s for the training session/game tonight.

Great for both teams to get some live opposition, as we always say, it's easy to look like world beaters when you're running at thin air! 😂

Brilliant to see such good numbers as well, with more than 55 boys taking part across the two teams. 💙🏉

Also thank you NicolaGarry Pearson for reffing the game

Thanks again and see you later in the season! 👏💪💙

🏉 MATCH REPORT — Talywain RFC U15s vs Bargoed RFC U15s

Opening Game of the Season | Away at Talywain RFC.

A tough, physical start to the campaign — but plenty to build on.

Today marked our first match of the season, and we made the trip to Talywain RFC — always a fiercely physical contest, and today was no different.

First Half
We were right in the thick of it from the off, defending strongly and restricting Talywain’s forward momentum. Our defensive shape held firm, but a handful of small errors allowed the hosts to break through for the game’s opening try. We regrouped, dug in, and fought our way back onto the scoreboard — right in the fight at the break.

Second Half
A positive start to the second period, but as the game wore on, our intensity dropped and Talywain made some sharp tactical changes that paid off. They pulled ahead and added further points to seal the result.

💬 Post-Match:
"We don’t lose — we learn."
We’ll go back to the training ground, review the VEO, identify what needs work, and come back stronger next week. Huge congratulations to Talywain RFC — a tough, well-fought game, and we wish you the best for the season ahead. Proud of the effort from the boys today we’ll grow from this.

Next up on our player sponsor is Shay Hughes

Shay is another player who has progressed through every age group at the club, starting in Tots and representing each team right through to the U15s. A few years ago, Shay made the move from the back row to scrumhalf to help the team when we were short of a number 9, and he stepped up brilliantly. Last season, he continued to impress while playing both scrum-half and back row, delivering a number of good performances that earned him the Players' Player of the Year award. We are looking forward to seeing Shay back in action and continuing his development this season

A huge thank you to In Loving Memory of Miss Kiera May Rees for sponsoring Shay this season.

A versatile back, he is equally comfortable playing at centre, full-back, or wing, and even stepped in at fly-half when the team needed him last season.

Zak enjoyed an outstanding campaign last year, producing a number of standout performances that earned him both the Back of the Year and Supporters' Player of the Year awards, a fantastic achievement and recognition of his hard work and commitment.
We look forward to seeing Zak continue his development and make a big impact again this season.

Ellis, better known to the squad as "Onion", joined us last season and quickly became an important part of the team. Comfortable playing both prop and second row, his versatility and work ethic make him an asset on match days and at training.

Off the field, Ellis is always on hand to keep the boys entertained with his banter and quick wit, helping to maintain a positive atmosphere within the squad. His commitment to the club was exceptional last season, achieving a 100% training and match attendance record until an unfortunate injury. His dedication and contribution to the team were recognised when he was deservedly awarded Clubman of the Year.
