Aberavon’s Former Players Association

Honouring our history. Connecting generations. One club.

The 1876 Club is the official Former Players Association of Aberavon Rugby Club. Founded to commemorate the club’s rich rugby history, we reconnect former players, support the present-day Wizards, and celebrate the enduring values of passion, pride, and camaraderie.

If you’ve worn the jersey, this is your club too.

Our Mission

Preserve Heritage

We protect and celebrate the rich history of Aberavon RFC — collecting stories, archiving memories, and honouring the players and moments that have shaped the club since 1876.

Reconnect Players

We bring former Wizards together through events, stories, and shared memories — reigniting friendships, building networks, and celebrating the bonds that only rugby can create.

Inspire the Future

We support the next generation through mentoring, fundraising, and presence — showing today’s players the legacy they’re part of, and the standards they carry forward.
