Is it possible that the name was Crosskeys Rovers RFC? I have a gold medal that belonged to my great grandfather. The inscription reads 'Crosskeys Rovers RFC Champions' on the front, and on the rear - 'Western Valley League 1911-1912'. His initials are also shown on the front 'GG' - Gilbert Garland. I have no idea about the colours though.

Hi Paul
Well I never!! Or snap. I have my bampie's medal from 1912. If you forward your email address then I can forward a copy of the photo. His name was Jim Lovell, and his initials are on the front. CrossKeys Rovers I presume played in black and white. There are pictures of teams from similar years up in the clubhouse at Pandy Park, but not the team from 1911-12.
Best wishes
Gerald Lovell

Hi Gerald
If you can send me a copy of the photo of the Crosskeys rugby team of 1911-1912 I'll put it on the website.

Hi - was wondering if you remember my grandfather Emrys White? He used to tell me lots of stories about when he played rugby at crosskeys.
