Newport Saracens RFC


Newport Saracens RFC are a Welsh rugby union club based in Newport in South Wales. The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Newport Gwent Dragons.
The club was founded in the 1932/33 and after disbanding during the Second World War, with 95% of their team joining HM Armed Forces, reformed for the 1945/46 season. In 2010 the team withdrew from the WRU Division Three East just before the start of the new season. Since then the mighty Saracens got back to back League wins in both the 17/18, 18/19 seasons. Unfortunately due to many lackluster performances and numerous dropped ball and missed tries Som Poselle has decided to call it a day and retire.
During the 2018 season the Newport Saracens embarked on a different challenge that is the Welsh national 8 ball pool league. They started in the bottom league where they sealed their first victory away at the Columba club. They went into the last game tied 3-3 with their club coaches Jonny 8ball Morris and Patrick the pocket James taking the cues. The game was tense and it came down to a difficult shot on the black. The pool team captain Ian Morgan was a nervous wreck and hid himself in the bathroom at the moment 8ball Morris 'the cut in kid' slid the 8 ball down the middle pocket.
Since then the Sarries pool team has seen their ups and downs with their Achilles heel being female opposition. They are currently at the top of the league after playing one game in the 2019 winter pool
