Aberystwyth Rugby Club has donated £2,500 to Bronglais Hospital, after the club’s players, coaches and supporters ran, walked and cycled over 3,200 miles between them.

The money is going to be shared between the hospital’s Gwenllian ward and the intensive care unit.

A whopping 94 people took part in the challenge to raise money for Hywel Dda Health Charities, using a GPS app, Strava, to individually track their miles.

A spokesperson for Aber RFC, junior secretary Nerys Hywel, said: “We at Aberystwyth RFC are extremely proud of the fundraising efforts of our players, from U7s through to the first team, committee and supporters.

“Our vice-captain Matthew Hughes and his teammates have decided they wish to split the money equally between the intensive care ward and Gwenllian ward at Bronglais Hospital.

“We’ll keep on with the good work of supporting our community and hopefully it won’t be too long before you’ll all be able to watch and support us back on the pitch in Plascrug.”

The club has also been selling specially designed NHS Aberystwyth RFC shirts, with money from sales going to the NHS.
