Welsh rugby club's season decimated with just one game in three months amid struggle to pay bills

A Welsh rugby club is facing playing 17 matches in 18 weekends in order to finish their season after a spate of postponements and cancellations.

Rhydyfelin RFC have played just five of their 13 league games to date this term, with no home games having been played in 14 weeks and just one fixture taking place in the last three months.

Many of the recent postponements have been down to the bad weather, with pitches unplayable in frozen conditions, but some matches have been down to opposition teams failing to fulfil fixtures, robbing the club of valuable income from home matches at a time when utility costs are rising and leaving them scrambling to complete their season.
