Steelman in Focus: Dafydd Smith

HOME > Steelman in Focus: Dafydd Smith
The former Cardiff Blues and Wales u20 back joins Haydn for this week’s episode of the Steelman in Focus series. Centre Smith is one of Ebbw’s latest recruits having joined last summer after spending the last few years as part of Wales 7s core squad which was put on hold due to COVID.
In this episode Daf talks of his disappointment at having to stop 7s, why Ebbw was the perfect fit and what his ambitions in the 15s game are.

Back-five forward Dan Hill joins new media assistant Haydn Evans in a new feature for the Steelmen’s website and Ebbw Vale TV YouTube channel.

Dan joined Ebbw in 2019 and talks about his journey in rugby so far which has seen him play at Swansea University, Guernsey, Clifton, Bath A and Wales Students as well as how he has coped with lockdown and keeping fit from home.

Watch until the end to see Dan spill the beans on the funniest & feistiest Steelmen.

Everyone associated with Ebbw Vale RFC was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Darryl Preece, one of our longest standing and most committed supporters. His brother Martin, a formidable hooker for us in the early 60s, recalled Darryl’s passion for the Steelmen, saying, “I don’t think he missed many matches over the years — even wet Wednesday evenings in west Wales during those fantastic cup runs!”

We send our sincere condolences to Darryl’s family. He will be greatly missed.
