Call to former players

It’s a big year for Welshpool Rugby Club who will be celebrating 50 years since playing their first match way back on September 2, 1967.

There is plenty planned but the club has launched its half century with a call for all past players to make their opinions known.

“We’re looking for ex-players’ thoughts on who the best player they played with at Welshpool was for a section in the club’s history book, which is currently being put together,” said a spokesperson.

“We’re not after massive essays, just a paragraph explaining the choice.”

The club has gone through a transformation over the past five years with record numbers of players now involved at the various levels.
