It is with regret that I have to inform club members that one of past members and club sponsor, Malcolm Gilkerson past away earlier today. Malcolm had been awaiting surgery when it was discovered that he had cancer of the pancreas. Malcolm and his family were keen supporters of the club. The cabinet that holds the junior trophies was presented to the club by Malcolm when his son, Barry, died of Leukaemia at the age of 13.  Malcolm was a fairly good centre in his day and attended a number of the annual golf tournaments. He also contributed towards the Paul Jones Memorial Fund at one of our fund raising events. I am sure you will join us in passing on our sympathy to Malcolm's wife Elaine and to his children Damian & Kelly. Funeral arrangements will be posted once the information becomes available.

Players Dinner - Rugby League

Thanks to all who attended the players dinner for giving our guest speakers a warm welcome. Both Michael & Tony enjoyed themselves, especially the involvement with the players after the meal. They said they would like to visit us during the season to watch one of our matches and have a couple of beers with the friends they made on Friday. We will definitely hold them to that. In the meantime it might be an idea for us to support them and the Crusaders at Wrexham. There is a great opportunity to do this on 13 June. Crusaders have invited CBRFC to join in a pre match 9's exhibition competition especially designed for non-rugby league players learning the game. After the event, those who participate will be given tickets to watch the Crusaders v Bradford Bulls match. To become involved, come to the club on Wednesday evening where Ray Caldwell will coach you in the finer arts of Rugby League. This is a great opportunity to play rugby in a professional environment. Come and join us, it will a great day out and you may even be encouraged to play more Rugby League throughout the summer.

12:03pm

The Club has 4 Tickets available for next Saturdays game Wales v Sth Africa, anyone wishing to obtain tickets please contact me asap on 541511 Thanks

Rugby League at CBRFC

We have started Rugby League Coaching on Wednesday evenings. We have been getting 15 plus junior club members along to these sessions and they are going very well. What we now need are some senior players to join us. To offer some encouragement, Super League Crusaders, based at Wrexham, has invited us to a festival of rugby league at the Racecourse ground on 12 June 2010. The idea of this event to to allow teams who are new to rugby league to play in front of a Super League audience. The event is being held before the Crusaders v Bradford match and all participants will have free entry to the game. All players aged 17 or over are eligible to play at the festival. So, come and join Ray and the lads next Wednesday and look forward to a good weekend on 12 June.

Rugby League at Colwyn Bay Rugby Club

This summer we are reviving Conwy Celts Rugby League Club as an integral part of CBRFC. Now that we have a Super League Club in North Wales, we hope that more RU clubs will take up the game during the Rugby Union closed season. Playing Rugby League will improve your passing and tackling skills and help you to maintain a high level of fitness. This will prepare you for the 2010/11 Rugby Union season. The Crusaders have committed to sending coaching and playing representatives to all RU clubs that register with Wales Rugby League. This visit will be arranged once we establish the interest of players at CBRFC. Also, once we have sufficient players, suitable trained, we have been invited to put on pre match exhibition game before one of Crusaders Super League fixtures at Wrexham Racecourse Ground. Conwy Celts have begun training on Wednesday evenings at 7.00 p.m. Now that the RU season is coming to an end, we would like to see more players joining these sessions. Players from other RU clubs in Conwy County are also invited to join us. So, come along, its great fun and there is a lot to look forward to during the summer.

A really gutsy performance yesterday at Pwllheli by the gallant 14 men. The final score does not due justice to the commitment of all on the field well done everyone I was proud to be there.

14:09pm

A huge Thank You to the boy's who turned out today (25/04/10) for the Mold game. With only twelve players making themselves available for today's away fixture, the winning score line was of no surprise. I'd also like to thank Mold for the loan of three player's. Without which there would not have been a game.

11:26am

Fantastic turnaround in First XV results since the beginning of March.  Well done to all the players and coaching staff. 

21:45pm

15:39pm

Many thanks to Alex, Graham, Arry, Stuart and Ken for a fantastic tour for the under 10’s.  It was well organised and the children all had a wonderful time all of their hard work certainly paid off (the fantastic weather helped!) We had wonderful hospitality at Carlisle who couldn’t have been more welcoming probably helped that they beat us!

19:22pm

The WRU have extended the Deadline re tickets for the South Africa game on 5th June k/off 2.30pm until this weekend.

16:43pm

An excellent result again on Saturday vs Llangefni, sorry couldn't be with u but kept in touch via Jon Shaw & Big Gareth until my mob went on the blink. Lets keep up the commitment each week in training & Saturdays, another win can be achieved again this Saturday vs Bro.

A BIG thank u also to all supporters who attended game  at Llangefni lets have a few more at home this weekend.

11:58am

Well done again 1st XV against Llangefni on Saturday. It wasn't the prettiest game of rugby to watch, but the result was a fair outcome. Over the past few weeks you have proven that you are as good as any team in Division 1 North. Bro Ffestiniog next Saturday, Pwllheli on the 24 April and Caernarfon to be rearranged. On top of that the Semi Final Plate at Bala on 17 April then the final. There is still a lot of rugby to be played, and the mood you guys have been in over the past few weeks, that means a lot of winning to be done. Keep it up. As a matter of interest, there appeared to be more Bay supporters at Llangefni on Saturday than home supporters. Let us also keep up the good work in supporting our team, home and away.

19:20pm

Excellent performance today at Ruthin by the 1st XV lets carry on & put the effort each week on Wednesday night training, it shows what u are capable of,

Llangefni is another game we can win with the overall commitment by everyone.

Thanks lads & also a big thank u to our supporters who made the effort to travel to Ruthin I am sure this is appreciated by all the Players & Coaching staff

A big thank you to all players who made themselves available for last nights game at Nant especially the 3 who travelled more than 100 miles to ensure we had a team. Although we lost they scored 5 tries in a 20 minute period at end of 1st half beginning of 2nd half & we put our bodies on the line during the last qtr nearly scoring on a number of occasions. Lets have a good training session next week & look to a good performance at Ruthin, a game we know we can win. Thanks also to all those who turned up to support the team.
