1888 Cardiff Football Union Medal

This medal was for a very long time quite a mystery.  A number of people from the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia have put a lot of their time and effort into trying to establish what event it represents.   The hard work of all those involved is very much appreciated. Particular thanks goes to the kind efforts of a Rugby historian in Cardiff, Wales. You can read a summary of his findings on the About the Medal page and view larger pictures of the front and back of the Medal via the Photo Gallery link above.   If anyone has further information that may help fill in the finer details relating to this piece of historic rugby memorabilia,  please don't hesitate to use the Contact page to get in touch.  

This site is currently in its very early days, but I have endeavoured to add a few links to relevant sites of interest, including those belonging to the Cardiff Rugby Football and Penarth Rugby Football clubs, Cardiff Blues, Welsh Rugby Union, Cardiff Millennium Stadium websites and others, and will be adding more in time.  Some of the sites not only give out current information relating to the clubs, but also include their own interesting history.  Feel free to contact me if you would like a particular website to be included in the list.
