For 110 years Risca rugby players have been kicking match balls into the River Ebbw
For 110 years Risca rugby players have been kicking match balls into the River Ebbw. And for the last 50 years or so a pulley system with nets and cages has been neatly catching the balls as they speed downstream. But last year Welsh Water Authority engineers lowered the level of the river and now Risca Rugby Club balls pass three feet beneath the cages and end up, its said, with in Pontypool, or the sea. Risca Rugby Club committee number Mr Ronald Hales with the cage and the winding gear which can longer retrieve balls kicked into the Ebbw. 26th February 1986
