84) Tata Steel Sports Club, Margam


The club has gone under a series of different names, as ownership of the steelworks has changed hands, from the Steel Company of Wales, to British Steel, to Corus, to Tata Steel. I can’t really say how much, if any, connection exists now between the club itself and the steelworks – I know for example that Tata Steel RFC are completely financially independent from the works. This shows the clubhouse, and to be honest it has seen better days. Speaking of the Rugby Club, this has been a great ‘nursery’ club for younger players, a number of whom have even gone on to play for Wales later on in their careers.
