Mike "Bill McClaren" Richards

Miguel as Mike is widley known was a prominent boxer in his early days and rumor has it a Welsh vest came his way but this is yet to be confirmed. Eloped to the oval ball at 16 and this speedster quickly made his mark in what seemed like a bully boy youth side at the time with half the side being former boxers, Dai Price & Shorty just to name two. Senior rugby came along and teaming up with Peter Brad, Mike was given the space to excel and split a few defences as well as their back doors.

Stuart Ian Angove

Angry Angove can rarely be be found without a smile on his face even when the fire brigade turned up after trying to smoke some salmon. Don't be fooled by his youthful looks as Oil Of Ulay does work for this guy even though he is older than he lets on. A strong preformer at prop he has been known to cause an upset or 2 especially when he played for Wick 2nds a few years ago. Don't mention the hole on the back of his head as this budding Friar Tuck will break his vow of non violence

Steven "Wally" Walters

From a very young age Walter has commited himself to looking after his body and today he still attends the gym every morning before going to work (sorry attend Dwr Cymru) The body beautiful you see today is in all honesty a work of art and it has been disapointing for the family that he did not sign for many modeling contracts in the big smoke. On the Rugby front he changes like Superman in a phone box and plods the turf like a crazed Rhino and its suprising that more honours have not come his way. In his umpteenth season for Bryncethin Wally is our Rock of Gilbralter

Myrddyn John "Muttley" Jones

Muttley has been around Bryncethin Rugby for decades,  seeing a couple of Milleniums along the way. From times when HQ in his day was in the Masons Ginge along with other talented tradesmen in the Village built the clubhouse at the Old Brickworks which sadley no longer exists being blown down by the big bad wolf. Another no nonsense player (Even Alan Walters was wary of him) played all his rugby in Bryncethin despite having offers from the big boys (to tight to travel if we are being honest) became a highly respected coach and with mad Brian Nick made Bryncethin Youth in the 80's one of the top teams in Wales.

James "Jamie" Oliver Davies

100% Welsh Beef has played with the best and in what will be his third season with the Cherry & Whites he will be hoping to make it a hatrick of appearances in the WDRU Cup Final ,a major feat in its self as some of the gang have been trying for some 20 years or more. The only reason this feat could not happen is if James takes up a full time role with Adams where weekends see the majority of their customers Jamie is looking forward to the new challenge of Division 6 which is arguably the strongest in the lower half of the National Leagues and success here should see Codys Shambo having a right old beasting

A View from the Stable

Michael "Budgie Doris Stato Mule" Phillips

Clippity Clops first introduction to the oval ball began when he was a programme seller at the Brewery Field for Bridgend RFC. Even at this young age he was already starting to look for discount coupons and vouchers.  He soon trotted north to Bryncethin and set his stall on the commitee doing a grand job with the stats. whilst raising much needed funds. After a short spell out to stud he came back full of wheat and became the fixture sec vowing never to run touch after being banned for one of his excitable tantrums with the referee ( his favorite being Lyndon Young ) Malcolm Mule the van driver deserves a pat on the neck for all of his un-seen work behind the scenes which along with others keeps the Bryncethin Charoit's wheels turning

Gareth Davies

A product of the famous rugby playing Davies family, Gareth is following his father and older twin brother as a quality 3/4, where the other 1/4 went towards the end of the season remains a mystery even to Mystic Meg. A popular figure amongst the ranks  he gained his first cap last season against Germany where brother Rhoddy and Andy Mong also featured in a narrow loss at Sardis Road. All three doing The Cherry and Whites proud. Smithers has been a prolific try scorer over the past couple of seasons but a lack of opportunities this year has made it a bit of a drought, something Coach Watkins will want to put right for the 2007/2008 season The rivalry between him and his twin brawd is keen and can be summed up in the following paragraph

Gareth gets a new girlfriend, Rhoddy dates a model. Gareth buys a new car, Rhoddy looks at Porsches. Gareth Holidays in Tenerife, Rhoddy travels to Eleven - erife

We at the GC would like to wish Gareth & Lyndsey all the very best for their wedding this coming Saturday August 4th.   (If you have not had an invite then tough deal with it)

Nigel Charles Evans

Nigel has come from an era where props were props and cut the mustard with unseen skullduggery, having played at the highest National level and an International v The USA Eagles whilst at Glamorgan Wanderers, Charlie Pastie has a wealth of experience bursting to be past on to some young buck with a burning ambition to succeed at the highest level. In the class of The Top Tourist he favours for some reason the Eastern Block, shying away from the warmer climates where the beers are cold and the nights have a warm welcome. Odd Job is now coming to the end of his distinguished playing career is now carving himself into a Coach and with his connections we should see him climb through the divisions like Brian Nick or Ron Waldron We thank Nigger for the last 2 years of commitment which has seen success for all on and off the field although he will still continue with an active involvement with the mini & Jnr section

Christopher Paul "Farquar" Stevens

It is difficult to pin anything on this squeaky clean banker being a model citizen all his life.

Paul Michael Evans

Owl has been a Stalwart of Bryncethin, captaining the side for many years when times were not as golden as today,  always leading from the front this has made him one of the most respected players the club has produced. His mental bully boy hardness from his karate days could be something to do with this. We won't mention the pool ball incident in Torquay or his blind drunkeness in Newton Abbott or the lapdancer in Plymouth as this would be tales from tour but it looks as if the west side of England has never been to kind to our Muskie

Steven Glyn Bayliss

A member of the famous Bryncethin Bayliss Mafia the youngest son of Dai has made himself a mini legend with his ability to get everyone spewing before they leave the changing room for kick off, therefore earning him the rightful nickname of "Stinking Steve" Steve Plied his trade mainly on the Flank but could be found occasionally flirting in the No 8 birth and It was alaways a privelidge to play with Steve with his no nonsense approach ( A Bayliss Family Mafia Tradition ) but the vast amount of penalties conceeded often let him down (We wonder If Jonathon Thomas of the Osprey's is his son sometimes) Now back playing with the seconds he has given Muttley the Team Manager much to smile about and  Myrddin could be heard saying on many occasions "Thats my boy you tossers" Welcome Back Stan

Andrew "Cuffers" Veasey

Andrew is probably one of the longest serving players out of the current crop starting with Bryncethin in the late 80's and its a shame that others have not followed this guys loyalty and commitment to a cause. Following a long line of quality scrum halfs in Bryncethin he fancied his chances in the back row and although not as solid in this position still gave a committed and consistent performance. Andrews highlight came when he kicked a penalty on the hallowed turf in the WDRU Cup .Even  though we lost the apples are greener on the other side when the ones your used to turn sour !!

Enoch Lewis Cup Legend

Leighton Richard Jenkins

The legend they call Malo started playing Rugby long time ago in 45BC with Blaengarw youth and as you can see from his profile has moved around more than Ian Wosenam's golf clubs, but give him his due, whereever he lay his hat he has given no less than 100% commitment until the money & beer ran out, He dabbled with a bit of coaching but this Millenium's Peter Pan returned to his love of playing the game with the Cherry & Whites and has been instrumental in reforming the second string this year but  it looks like his playing involvement in securing the Enoch Lewis Cup  may have been his last game but don 't hold your breath (watch this space)

As it is Malo's birthday this weekend ( May 19th ) we invite eveyone to ditch calling him Malo and call him by his christian name of "Leighton"
