The Old Parish Ground

After weeks of speculation it was announced late on Sunday evening that South Wales Scorpions were relocating to Maesteg. The club will play at the famous old ground known as "The Old Parish" and have receieved a warm welcome from Maesteg RFC. Further details from the club regarding match day prices and season tickets will follow but as supporters we now know where we will be facing Oldham on Sunday 2nd March.

David Morgan, Maesteg RFC chairman, said: “We at Maesteg RFC are very pleased to be hosting the South Wales Scorpions for this forthcoming season. They will have a warm welcome and I am sure plenty of support for what will primarily be a summer sport. Maesteg RFC has a rich history of developing cross code players and Welsh internationals like Allan Bateman, Ike Owens, Kevin Ellis, Karl Hocking and Grant Epton – with the latter two being our current club coaches -  and we hope to continue this in the future. This is an opportunity for us, the town of Maesteg, and Llynfi valley to be the home of both codes in Wales and to put Maesteg on the rugby map once again.”

"Spread the word!"

Bring a friend

Buy a pint

Buy a programme

If we all did this every match it would be excellent.

Prediction league / fixture list being updated today - let's keep the good feeling going.
