Gorseinon RFC is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Ospreys.[1] HistoryGorseinon RFC were formed in 1883 and they were successful in their application to the Welsh Rugby Union in 1895. Up until World War I they played on the Welfare Ground then called Kings Holme sharing the field with both cricket and football teams. At the outbreak of the 1914-18 war the team was disbanded. After the World War the club reformed, but under a new name and with a new playing field. The club played under the name of St Catherine's Church in the lower part of Gorseinon, at the rear of Whittington Terrace. The ground was called Pencefnarda and the changing rooms were at the back of the 'Institute'. Between 1918 and 1931 the ground was redeveloped by the owners of the local works Messrs. Lewis and sons. In 1931 the club started playing under the name of 'Grovesend Welfare'. Although reformed in 1931 under the works name it was not until 1936 that they were re-admitted into the Welsh Rugby Union. In the early 1950s an application was made to change the name back to Gorseinon and its original title.[2] Notable former playersSee also Category:Gorseinon RFC players
