Llangennech RFC

The team played their first game in 1885. It garnered good press coverage for a year, but this stopped until 1892. Press coverage for other local teams continued. It is believed that the minister of the local Salem Chapel, Phillip Phillips, had a distaste for the game and used his influence to disband the team. He is quoted as saying "Kick? If I took a good mule down to the field he'd kick them out of existence. Men were not made to compete with donkeys". ==Club honours==
