History

[edit]

Although Cardiff had been represented in Rugby League as far back as 1911, the Cardiff RFLC was formed 12 February 1930. People present at the foundation meeting were A H Geikhe, D Smith, C Williams and Mr Clarke, who held the meeting at his house. It was decided to enter a team in the Newcastle Rugby League third-grade competition along with an under 20s team. Cardiff has cone a long way since its early days and has produced plenty of good Rugby League players including Jason Alchin, Mark Brokenshire, Rodney Howe, Ashley Gordon and many more.
