Absolutely cracking rugby club. This club is one of my favourite clubs as a visiting supporter. There's always a friendly welcome, and, most importantly a great pint. There's always a good atmosphere in Aberavon RFC, there's a real family feeling there - and it's the nearest I can get to my Gran's home made pasty pie!! Recommended. If you live nearby and you haven't been you don't have any excuses left - get yourselves to the famous old ground

Aberavon RFC (Welsh: Clwb Rygbi Aberafan) is a rugby union club located in the Welsh town of Port Talbot, although the club's name refers to the older settlement of Aberavon which lies on the western side of the town. It was founded in 1876 as Afan Football Club, and changed names several times before settling on Aberavon Rugby Football Club. They are feeder club to the Ospreys regional team. Small red toy wizards adorn the tops of the rugby posts at their ground, and the figure of a wizard has adorned the players' kit as the club's emblem since the mid-1970s. One theory of the nickname 'The Wizards' is thought to have been based on the many workers who came to Port Talbot in the 19th century from the Carmarthen area, strongly associated with the legendary wizard Merlin. So many of them lived in one street that it was named 'Carmarthen Row'; Talbot Athletic Ground was built near Carmarthen Row. The more generally accepted view, however, is that the nickname was coined by South Wales Evening Post reporter Bill Taylor during the 1920s, when he dubbed the highly successful Aberavon team of that era \The Wizards of the West\.

Visited twice since the reopening after lockdown. Club extremely well prepared to comply with the restrictions and all the protocols were in place. Very friendly bar staff, excellent selection of beers at good prices and a welcoming atmosphere. Great place to watch the live sport on TV.

We have visited the club quite a few times since the pandemic and new provisions have had to be put into place. I have to say Sharan and her team have made the club a very safe place to be. Everything is done by the book at all times. No matter how hard it must be for the bar staff, they are always very efficient. I have no qualms about visiting as I feel very safe in the clubhouse

At the club on Saturday to watch Wales v Georgia, met on arrival by a member of staff to check we had booked a table, all 4 of us were asked to sign the track & trace form before being shown to our table, the ordering service was explained and we didn't have to move from our table for the whole period we were there ( apart from toilet breaks) . Very impressed with the measures Aberavon have put in place to ensure thier customers and staff are kept as safe as possible .
