VOLUNTEERS MORNING SATURDAY 21ST OCTOBER 09:00 – 12:00<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have an hour or two to spare tomorrow morning and would like to lend a hand we will be looking to carry out a few tasks around the club.  As there are no home games we will be painting the changing rooms, getting rid of a lot of rubbish that has accumulated over the years into a skip, a bit of weeding and some grass cutting (weather permitting). We hope to start at 9 so if you have any garden equipment, strimmers, shears, brushes then please bring them. If you also bring a cup we’ll bring the hot water, tea, coffee and biscuits!!
\nAnytime you can give would be greatly appreciated. The weather’s not supposed to be the best but we only have the skip for the weekend and the paintings indoors – so plenty too do!!
\nMany Thanks

19th Sept:<\/strong> A great win for the Rocks over First Division Llanharan in the Mallet Cup this evening. The Rocks scored five tries to win the game 36-15. There was much debate on the Whattsapp group following the game, but eventually the tries were awarded to Tim Carless, Mike Baldwin, Darren Sage (2), Snooky and Eugene O’Brien or Donkey (not sure). <\/p>\n

\"20170916-Table\"<\/a>16th Sept:<\/strong> A good day at the office!! Cambrian Welfare came to the Harlequins following a 56 – 0 demolition of Cilfynnydd. St.Peter’s first XV have been training well mid-week and brought a positive attitude to the ground today which certainly helped. The game was fairly evenly matched throughout with the final ten minutes deciding the encounter. A try a-piece in this period made the score really tight and with St. Peter’s reduced to 13 men, Cambrian Welfare threw the kitchen sink at the Rocks in the final play. Solid tackling and a good display of fitness forced the final mistake, when CW threw a pass which went directly in touch. Well done to both teams but 18 – 16 gave St.Peter’s the spoils and upward movement in the table to third place, but a bonus point to the Welfare.
\nWell done also to two gang beating Rhiwbina III 10 – 31. The Youth unfortunately went down 36-14 to Mountain Ash.<\/p>\n

\"CRCC<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rocks agreed to a rearranged fixture this weekend as CRCC were not able to use Llandaff Fields. So with the fixture reversed, we are very pleased to say that the home team came out on top. Rocks 34-7 CRCC. And a message from Butetown – Well done 2 gang …awesome display against Cardiff Quins winning 34-5 would have been more apart from a couple of dodgy drop goal attempts !!<\/em><\/p>\n

Next Saturday it’s fourth place Rocks entertaining recently promoted-fifth place Cambrian Welfare at the Harlequins.<\/p>\n

10th September:<\/strong> Well it’s not often that I come up with a reason or an excuse for not keeping this site up to date, but this one is a good ‘un. I’ve had other things on my mind!! Or to be more specific… I’ve been dodging Earthquakes and Hurricanes. Last week I was in Mexico and the day I left there was an 8.2 Earthquake, I then went to Florida and the I left there was Category 5 Hurricane. In short, after leaving Mexico and Florida – there wasn’t much left. Sorry. Perhaps I’ll stay home for a few weeks! And THAT is why there haven’t been any updates.<\/p>\n

26th August<\/strong>: Great win over Maesteg celtic on sardis road last night. After two relatively easy international wins over stow on the wold, it was a good test for the Rocks to play division two West Central mid table finishers for last season.
\nWinning 40-7 on the artificial surface in Pontypridd, Kris Barry noted on social media last night “we played for each other love you rocks xxxx” <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

25th August: <\/strong>Rugby tonight at Pontypridd’s Sardis Rd. Maesteg Celtic v Rocks 7.15pm then… At last the season begins! Next week, our first home game on the Harlequins – Cardiff Quinns at 2.30pm followed by the club social – see below. Then on 9th September we travel away to Llandaff Fields to face CRCC – again a 2.30pm kick off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

16th August<\/strong>: With regret, Frank Callaghan who played for St. Peter’s, in the late 1940’s and the 1950’s in the centre, passed away recently. His funeral is at Christ the King 10.00am on Thursday 31st August. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.<\/p>\n

13th August:<\/strong> It was a good start to the season yesterday at Stow on the Wold<\/a> for the first of the back to back preseason games. The final score seems to be a bit of a mystery at the moment, but suffice to say that the Rocks scored quite a few points.<\/p>\n

St. Peter’s will be hosting Stow-on-the-Wold<\/a> next Saturday at the Harlequins 2.30pm kick off.<\/p>\n

28th July:<\/strong> St. Peter’s RFC are pleased to welcome Steve Facey to the coaching team at the club.<\/p>\n

\"Steve

Steve Facey<\/p><\/div>\n

Steve began his Junior Rugby at St Alban\u2019s, where he found his position at Loose Head Prop Forward. He joined St Peter\u2019s RFC as a player when Steve Matthews was Captain and they won the League Title in his first year. He later moved to Llantrisant and then entered UWIC (Now Cardiff Met) as a mature student. He completed a Degree in Sport and Physical Education and went on to complete a Masters in Education. He captained UWIC in their 2006-07 Season and won coveted accolades when he was voted both Players’ Player and Player of the Year in the same season. He has coached \u2018The Freshers\u2019 at UWIC, Llandaff RFC, Rumney RFC and Cardiff & District RFC.<\/p>\n

St Peter\u2019s Head Coach, Mark Ring stated, \u201cI am absolutely delighted Steve has decide to join me at St Peter\u2019s RFC as my Co-Coach. We share equal responsibilities with Steve (specifically) overseeing the forwards, contact area and defence. He has wonderful character traits such as honesty and integrity, so he is a person who I can trust implicitly. He lives a few hundred metres from the rugby club and as a former player, his enthusiasm and positive th attitude, I believe, will impact on the senior squad. He is someone I\u2019ve worked with at Cardiff & District RFC where he was immensely popular. I am really looking forward to working with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
