The Welsh
name for Abergele Rugby Club, also known as the Green Army because of their green and white home kit. In recent years Abergele has seen its sides grow stronger and stronger, its 1st XV have been promoted season after season and are currently the newly formed Division
4 North Champions.
They are occasionally known as the swordsmen, taken from the emblem they use on their shirts. The sword was chosen from the
name Abergele which translates as ‘mouth of the
river shaped like a sword’ This is believed to be the
name given by the first settlers who thought that the
river looked like the blade of a sword from the hills above the town.
They are famous for playing chapagne rugby and are both feared and respected across the land!
''A perfect throw in at the line out by Evans... Claimed by Roberts... to Benton... a jinking
run then a perfect inside pass to Cato.... look at that man
smash through the line on another bullocking run! Ruck formed... Mortimer doing the hard work... and it's spread wide! Davies to
Taylor smashing in through the middle... the offload to Pritchard! He leaves his opposite number for dead and crosses for the score! Champagne
rugby once again!!
What an amazing try! And this is from Clwb rygbi Abergele's second team!! Wouldn't fancy playing their firsts!!''
