A successful annual dinner was held at Aberystwyth RFC on Friday 26th May 2017.  The guest speaker was the renowned international referee Derek Bevan, who enthralled the large audience with tales from his long career, including refereeing two World Cup Finals.  The other speeches celebrated Aberystwyth’s successful introduction to Division 1 rugby, where for most of the season they had been challenging for leadership.

 

Players’ ties were awarded to:

Owain Bonsall, Dean Coleman, Matthew Hughes, Gareth Jones, Connor Pitt, James Plumridge, Steffan Rees and Jordan Thomas.
