From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Risca Rugby Football Club is a Welsh rugby union club based in Risca, Monmouthshire. The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Newport Gwent Dragons.[2]
Risca RFC was formed in 1875 when a group of workers from Risca Quarry decided to put away six pence a week until they could afford sport jerseys and a rugby ball. The team was given permission to play on the Church House Field opposite the local Church House Hotel. The initial games were played against scratch sides and there are no recorded results. In 1906 the club moved to the Stores Ground. In 1961 the club opened a purpose built clubhouse at the ground, which was superseeded in 1998 by a modern sport and leisure centre.
