History

Rugby has been played in Beddau as a village team since the turn of the last century, up until the Second World War. During this time all records related to this period were destroyed apart from a few remaining photographs of Beddau RFC teams that played during the late 1930's.

Beddau RFC reformed again in 1951-52 ["Five Golden Keys, Llantwit Fardre RFC Centenary Season 1999-2000", John Kelland] . and have since been based in Castellau Road, Beddau, and play fixtures at Mount Pleasant Park, Beddau. Photographs of past teams from this time until the present day can be seen around the club house.

Today

Today, Beddau RFC plays in the Welsh Rugby Union, Division One East League. In the 2006-07 season, Beddau RFC won the Division One East League, but were denied promotion to the Premier League as their grounds were deemed to not meet WRU criteria. This ruling was upheld in an EGM by 67% of members. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/welsh/6659109.stm WRU withstands promotion revolt - BBC Sport News sourced 16th Aug 2006] ]
