Rugby League has emerged as a growth sport in Wales over the past few years. Whilst the 13 man games is not a new concept to people in the Valley’s, with Welsh clubs having involvement with League since back in the 1890’s, League has never enjoyed a truly stable club competition until now.

Thanks to the Rugby League conference competition, a number of communities in Wales have been able to try out League in an organised amateur competition with minimal expense. The Rugby League conference involves over 50 teams from around England and Wales, broken up into conferences of six teams.

The teams play each other within the conference, before the top two teams of each conference enter the final series, seeing them play other sides from across the United Kingdom.

It is an exciting concept, and is the perfect way for any sports person to keep fit over the Summer months.

Rugby League is a safe sport, which encourages team spirit and passion. It is a sport designed to be played by everyone, and has a position in each team to suit any type of individual.

If your community or club would like to setup a side to enter the Rugby League conference or in perhaps another competition in Wales (pending on numbers) please declare your interest with Neil Wood of the Rugby Football League.

If you just want to gauge interest over setting up a club, add your interest to the Welsh Rugby League forum. There may already be someone else who may want to setup a club as well in your area, or other players who may want to play.
