Former Merit Table club Tredegar RFC have dropped out of the Admiral National League.
WalesOnline reported last month that one of Welsh rugby’s famous old clubs were experiencing difficult times, with chairman Anthony Preece claiming cash payments to players elsewhere had left Tredegar struggling to raise a side. The club had only 10 players available for an early-season clash with Old Tylerian, meaning the match had to be postponed.
Preece said at the time: “There’s a big threat to the club. We called off our game last weekend because we didn’t have enough players, with the problem being that people are being tempted to play for other clubs because of money.
