From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tonna Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team from the village of Tonna, South Wales. Although it is believed that Tonna RFC was in existence before 1888, the first officially recorded report came from the 1887/88 season when the Cambria Daily Reader stated that Tonna RFC were drawn to play Mynsybach in the local Neath cup challenge cup. It is therefore recorded that Tonna RFC came into being on the 28th February 1888.
Tonna RFC's first international player was D. H. Davies, although playing for Neath RFC at the time of his one and only cap against Scotland in 1904, he came through the playing ranks of Tonna.
With the outbreak of the First World War the club disbanded, but reformed as Dulais United after the war. This team was an amalgamation of local villages Tonna, Aberdulias, Cadoxton, Cilfrew and Cefn-yr-allt; but the team was still housed in Tonna.
