Squad update from Neil Edwards (220710)
"I
would like to start by thanking everyone for attending our Summer Bash at
our club last Saturday. It was a great day for all involved with Ebbw Vale
RFC. I felt that it was incredibly important for the squad to identify who
and what they are working so hard for, and for them to have been able to
meet so many of you in one day was absolutely brilliant. I hope that you
all enjoyed your day and we will be booking another date for your diaries
soon.
The squad is still
working extremely hard on the training paddock. Jason, Llyr and I are very
happy with where we are as a group at the moment, however we need the work
ethic of our squad to remain the same if we are to maximise our chances of
success this season. We have made a few more additions to our squad.
- Jack
Herring - Prop forward from Brecon
- Robert
Sevenoaks – Prop forward from Abergavenny
- Kenny
Stewart – Lock/Back row from
New Zealand
(Via Brynmawr)
- Lee
Meredith – Back row from Abertillery
- Sam
Cross – Back row from Brynmawr
- Lewis
Prothero – Wing/Fullback from Tredegar
I look forward to seeing you all soon
Thanks
Neil Edwards"

Tom returns at 9
Local lad Tom Edwards is the latest
to sign up for Ebbw Vale's first season in Division One East. Tom
joins from Premiership Bedwas and will be keen to show the kind of
form that made him so popular as a scrum half at Eugene Cross Park a
few years ago. Director Jonathan Jones said, "We are very
pleased indeed to have Tom on board as there was plenty of interest
from other clubs. We've said all along we were keen to bring in
local players, and players who know what the club is all about. Tom
certainly fits the bill there!"
Four more sign for
Steelmen
Head Coach Neil Edwards has announced four more signings as the Ebbw Vale
squad continues to take shape. Up front, openside flanker Tristran Mabbutt
has re-signed for the Steelmen, having featured prominently at the end of
last season, with the club being delighted at the return of this committed
and skilful flanker. Also in the back row,
Speaking of following in fathers' footsteps, Dorian Jones, son of former
Ebbw star, Kingsley, joins from Sale Academy and will be hotly contesting
the outside half berth. Completing the quartet, former Ospreys Academy
member James Pike has signed on from Glynneath, looking to fill the full
back position. James will
bring pace and footballing skills to the back three.
