It is with great sadness that I report the sad and sudden death of James (Jim) Ridley.

Our thoughts are with wife Di, sons Jacob & Christian and family. Sincere condolences to all. A much loved husband, father, grandfather, brother and great friend to many.

On the rugby front he was the first player to have represented every age group throughout young rugby, youth and then go on to play for our First XV at Monmouth RFC.

A proud player also at both Pontypool and Cross Keys. Representing also Monmouthshire County RFC and both Gwent Police and British Police. He served on Monmouth RFC club committee for many years and continued to be an active supporter of the club.

Jim made many friends also within golfing social circles at Monmouth Golf Club, Rockfield Golf Society, Fitzroy Golf Society and more recently Raglan Golf Club. He will indeed be missed by many - he was an absolute legend - a genuine “one off”.

RIP my friend.

President Monmouth RFC

💙 The first time for the team to enter a 7s festival…..just missing out on the final but some impressive rugby was on display and everyone had an amazing time.

💛 A great way to finish the season 🙌🏻.

🏉 Congratulations to our Under 13, the Raptors for making it through to the Cup Final at the West Coast Festival of Rugby on the weekend!

💙 A great achievement coming runners up…but not only that, they were also awarded the ‘Spirit of Rugby Award’!!

💛 After a week of injuries, last minute squad changes, they fought until the end….it was their unwavering team spirit that got them through!

🏉 Huge congratulations lads. We are so proud of you!

🏉 A weekend of tours….our Under 9s, the Griffins and Under 11s the Chiefs were both undefeated at the “Devon Big Bash” at Ivybridge Rugby at the weekend!

🏉 Abergavenny Rugby Festival 🏉

💙 Our Under 7s the Dragons, and Under 10s the Sharks, ventured over to Abergavenny RFC and had a fantastic time at their festival yesterday!

💛 The Dragons enjoyed every minute of their morning of rugby. All the boys and girls had a fantastic time.

💙 Whilst the Sharks dug deep, with only 8 players….playing every game with true grit and determination, showing team spirit and resilience throughout. Huge thanks to Abergavenny, Talywain and Llantrisant U10s for loaning players when we lost players to injury. All the games were played in the true spirit of rugby 🏉.
