Welsh Plate 2nd Round Draw

Two giant killers go head to head in the 2nd round of the Welsh plate.

Ystradgynlais RFC will host St Peters RFC at home on Saturday 29th October 2016. The Blues opponents current play in division 2 east central.

The two clubs met regularly during the glory days of the Heineken league which formed a fantastic competitive rugby friendship between the two. During these exciting rugby times, back in the 90’s the two clubs also made their name in the Welsh cup.

In 1993 St Peters created history by defeating Cardiff at the Arms Park. A year later Ystradgynlais hosted and defeated the black and ambers of Newport. Two massive cup shocks that gave both grassroots clubs top billing in the Western mail and BBC’s rugby special Wales.

To my knowledge this is the first time both clubs have been drawn together in a national cup competition (Please correct me if I’m wrong) but without doubt is the tie of the round with regards to both clubs cup legacies alone.
