rugby union team from the village ofLaugharne , WestWales . They presently play in theWelsh Rugby Union Division Three West League.History
The earliest recorded evidence of a rugby team in Laugharne comes from a team photo taken in 1893, though it could be argued that the game was played as early as a decade before, though no proof survives. The early years saw rugby in Laugharne being played on a non-affiliated basis, with most matches being friendlies, though in the 1930's the club entered a league in
Pembrokeshire . [Laugharne Rugby Football Club Centenary 1883-1993, George Tremlett.]In the 1970/71 season Laugharne RFC finally joined the West Wales Rugby Union and started playing competitive games.
Club badge
The team badge consists of a shield divided into quarters. Cockle shells, a castle, a Celtic cross and a coat of arms tell of Laugharne’s links with the sea, its seashore castle and the old feudal and township system.
