The club regards its foundation year as 1886, although it is not until 1888 that the first recorded reference to the club can be found; this was in the regional newspaper, the Western Mail, and was against St. Margarets, also of Roath.[4]

One of the biggest results recorded by the club was beating Cardiff RFC 14-16 in the SWALEC Cup on 23 January 1993.[5]

Club honours

Notable former players

gollark: I don't think this is likely to be a significant issue.
gollark: So unless people get able to measure those things more directly, it's entirely possible that requirements will just creep up.
gollark: Anyway, as increasing amounts of people have been going to university, and it requires some basic level of competence at a subject, ability to follow instructions, learning, that sort of thing, *not* going to university serves as an increasingly strong signal that you *don't have* that competence/ability to follow instructions/etc.
gollark: God died in 1996.
gollark: I don't know if the models are any good, but I don't think the one they think is closest predicts complete societal collapse by 2040 anyway?
