Re - Best Aber 15 response -- Graham J Riley, 11:51:38 01/03/06 Tue
An excellent response with interesting selections, although I suppose there could never be total agreement in every position.

A somewhat surprised choice of your NO 10 'good doctor'. Not in my top 3 but a good player nevertheless.

Surprised to hear you have supported Aber for all these years dodger. I endorse your views on Nigel Paul, although Worzel would just shade it for me.

Incidently, although not the best number 10 to have played for Aber, Les Williams was an exciting player, very elusive, with good hands, albeit a little slow.

The biggest kicker I have ever seen in an Aber shirt (although he only played for us for a short time) was Keith James (passed his best before playing date when he came to us) nevertheless, he could kick from one 25 yard line (oops 22m!) to the other without the ball touching the ground.

Finally, I can never recollect an opposition prop (even international) getting the better of John Dixon.

How about your most exciting Aber match? There have been many excellent matches over the years but the match for me, was going to St. Helens, having to win against Swansea in order to stay in the top division will take some beating. How about you?

Abertillery RFC >>> The Future -- The Sec, 16:31:08 12/29/05 Thu
Two years ago we were in deep dispair....... Most of us will admit that we could see no light at the end of the tunnel, could this be the end of the once famous 'green and whites'?

Many former players expressed great concern and asked what was happening but this did nothing to solve our problem of VERY FEW PLAYERS. The committee explored every avenue they could think of but to no avail.

We found ourselves in the 'last drink saloon', clutching at straws and sinking fast!!

Along came the Lone Ranger (Paul Rossiter) with his side-kick Tonto (Mike James) to steady the committee's nerves and convince us that not all was lost yet.

Well a year and a bit on, we're still alive and kicking although not out of the woods yet the club now has a firm foundation not built on quicksand.

Thanks to the committee's, coaches and parents the youth, mini and junior sections are more than just the bricks and morter of the club as they are without doubt our future. Gone are the days of throwing money at players who do not have the future of the 'green and whites' at heart, we have now entered a new period in the life of the club - our own looking after our own.

We may be in division 5 but our vision is no longer blurred, our aims and aspirations are to progress through the leagues and given time once again achieve the level we formally held.

Thanks must be offered to ALL those who helped to keep ABER alive in those black days and lets look forward to a bright future.

Aber Old Boys -- Graham J Riley, 08:44:51 12/24/05 Sat
When I was very young, in school in fact, a Ian James played for Aber at fly-half. This was in the late 50's and early 60's. Ian had a Welsh trial and was unlucky not to be capped.Does anyone know his whereabouts and what become of him.?
