Neath RFC is pleased to support the challenge and supporters are invited to come along to The Gnoll on Friday 13th February (from 13:30 to 14:15) to support this important charity event.

We have a welcoming party to welcome the Royal Welsh Challenge Team and Support to The Gnoll consisting of:  Mayor and Consort, Council Representatives, School children from Ysgol Castell Nedd.

Let’s Fly the Flag for Neath RFC and the Community.

From 10–15 February 2026, soldiers from The Royal Welsh will take on an incredible challenge:

👉 313 miles on foot across Wales

👉 Visiting the 11 founding clubs of the WRU

👉 Completing a try + conversion at every stop

👉 Before delivering the match ball live at the Principality Stadium during the Six Nations.

This challenge celebrates:

• The Regiment’s 20th Anniversary

• And raises vital awareness for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, Tŷ Hafan, and Blind Veterans UK.
