Newbridge RFC are a Welsh rugby union club based in Newbridge, Caerphilly in South Wales. Newbridge RFC was formed in 1888 and gained admission to the WRU in 1911. This delay was due to difficulties in obtaining a suitable ground and facilities. ==Club history== In 1925 Newbridge rugby club moved to their present home at the Welfare Ground, where they signed a 99-year lease at a shilling a year. A new pavilion had been constructed around this time and the club now shares their ground with the local cricket team. The club are presently in their third clubhouse at the site after fires caused damage to past buildings. Newbridge have been pioneers of a number of well known rugby traits, not least the tap signal from the hooker to the scrum half to feed the scrum and the formation of a wall for penalties. They presently play in the WRU Championship and are a feeder club for the Newport Gwent Dragons. In May 2006 Newbridge RFC were one of the 13 'Rebel' clubs who brought a vote of no confidence against the WRU, which centered around financing and the handling of former coach Mike Ruddock's departure. The vote failed heavily with only 20 votes for the motion and over 300 against.〔(Welsh clubs give backing to Union - BBC Sports, sourced 16 Aug 2007 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newbridge RFC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
