Milford Haven RFC, a grassroots rugby and football club run by volunteers in Pembrokeshire, has been boosted by the support of E.G. Lewis Group.

Milford Haven RFC is a community club with two senior, one women, one youth and nine mini and junior teams. The club has received funding which has gone directly into the purchase of 25 all-weather training tops for the first team during the challenging winter conditions.

Milford Haven Rugby Club is located in a picturesque setting in Hakin overlooking one of the deepest natural waterways in the World. Rugby has been played in Milford Haven since the early 1900’s but was revived in 1932 when matches where played on the Cockle Bank, now the St Lawrence housing estate with changing facilities at the Avondale Hotel.

The present Club was founded in 1951 when matches were played at Marble Hall, the first game against Narberth, Milford captained by George Griffiths won 6-5. The present Club House built by players and committee members in October 1960 was officially opened on 21 April 1962.

Andrew Grainger, Contracts Manager of E.G.Lewis & Company Ltd had this to say:

“We are delighted to support Milford Haven RFC with the new all-weather training tops, as part of our drive to help the local community both in and outside of the working environment in Pembrokeshire.”
