Quins Presentation Night Saturday June 9th from 7pm, entertainment, special guests,buffet. Full presentation night details here.

In the match against Pencoed Andrew Leighton made a landmark 300th appearance for the club. Joining the club in 1998 - 1999 straight from Maesteg Youth, Andrew has gone on to play a major part in five of the Quins six league titles. He is also a double Silver Ball winner, President's Cup winner and captained the club for a season. He has scored 227 points with 45 tries and a single conversion.
Congratulations on your achievement.

Quns thespian Robert De Niro Davies will be holding a master class acting workshop in the Quins most Saturday evenings. Specialising in religious roles, method actor Davies famous for his role as Pontius Pilate (the audience gasped when he uttered the immortal line "Are you King of the Jews" with so much feeling and authority in his most recent production) hopes to enthuse others to the delights of the stage and screen. Many thought that his portrayal of Pontius Pilate was equal or even greater than Frank Thring in Ben Hur. Rumour has it that Robert's next big role is as 'Big Bird' in Muppets the Musical.

Reports are coming in that former Quins flyer David 'SPAR' Phillips has taken up refereeing and will officiate his first match this coming weekend. The supermarket sultan 'SPAR' still contributes to the Quins with his generous sponsorship of the 'SPAR' Maesteg Quins Golf Challenge and his input on tour arrangements is widely appreciated. Those who know Dai will remember him for two things. Firstly, his renown as an excellent finisher… when he caught the ball that is, because the second thing he was renown for was his eyesight which was far from the best. So that should make him well qualified for the job! Good luck 'Spar', we know you'll do a great job.

The Quins Lost 13 - 10 at Llanharan against Glynneath (SilverBall Final), full Match Report here.

Following restorative surgery on his injured shoulder, it was wonderful to see Chris Owen at South Parade watching the match against Seven Sister without a sling. Chris intends to be playing again by the end of February, which is excellent news. Older brother Gareth was also watching the same match. Just how much longer he’ll be out of the game is still unknown, but the quicker the extremely talented but unlucky brothers are both on the field the better for Welsh, Ospreys and Maesteg Quins rugby.

Daniel Tabor made his 100th appearance for the club. Since joining the Quins in 2006-2007 he has been a mainstay of the Quins pack, with 93 of his century of appearances being in the first XV. Tabor has scored 13 tries in the process and on Saturday he put in yet another sterling performance at loose head against an experienced campaigner.

Congratulations Steven Davies on reaching 100 games for Maesteg Quins against Ystalyfera on Saturday 29th October 2011. Steven made his Quins debut with a single appearance in the 2004 - 2005 season.

Robbie Morris made his debut for the Quins playing just two matches for the club at the tail end of the 1998 -1999 season. He then joined Maesteg for the first of two spells for the Old Parish and played much of his rugby in his first stint at outside-half. He managed to amass an individual points scoring record in one match for Maesteg scoring twenty-three points in a league match versus Mountain Ash at Aberpennar Park. He joined the Quins on a permanent basis in 2002-2003 and in the match against Vardre, Robbie will be making his 150th appearance for the club. In those appearances he has accumulated 652 points through 42 tries 101 conversions 79 penalties and one dropped goal.

Quins veteran Peter Jenkins and son Lloyd are the first father / son teammates to play alongside each other for the Harlequins since Quins favourite Terry Whelan and his sons Craig and Wayne wore the Quins colours approximately twenty years ago. Peter and Lloyd at South Parade 2011 -2012 season.

Maesteg Harlequins RFC are delighted to announce their new kit sponsor for the 2011 - 2012 season as the Cerddin Brewery. Full statement here.

Quins defeat Penygraig 18 - 0 in held over final and subsequently lift the Glamorgan County President's Cup, thus completing a well deserved 'Treble' for the season. Read the full Quins report .

Maesteg Quins are delighted and extremely fortunate to have secured the services of Dr. Richard Lewis as the Honorary Medical Officer to the club. The omens look ominous as Dr. Lewis was straight into the action on Saturday, stitching Lee Ronan’s forehead in the first period of the trial match. Dr. Lewis hails from Caerau and possesses a wealth of experience, having practiced in the village for a number of years until taking over the extremely high profile role of Secretary to the BMA Cymru. Dr. Lewis has led many campaigns on behalf of the medical profession and the general public, including heightening public awareness of the consequences of binge drinking, so we’ll have to make sure he’s out of the club by 19:00hrs

Underdogs Maesteg Quins were the victors in the Silver Ball final against Division 2 East undefeated Champions Mountain Ash RFC at the Brewery Field. Full report here.
