It is with great sadness that Dunvant RFC has to announce that former coach and life member Brian Thomas has passed away. We offer our sincere condolences to his wife Sheila, children Phil and Julie and grandchildren Tyler and Ashley. Grandson Tyler has been playing for the First XV and Athletic over the past 2 seasons, often watched by both Brian and Shiela.
Brian was the leading force in the club’s historic rise through the West Wales Leagues, starting in Section D before ultimately winning the West Wales Championship, the newly formed Heineken Leagues then rising to the pinnacle of the Premiership. A former player with Mumbles and Neath, Brian coached Vardre before joining Dunvant in 1980 before then coaching Bynea.
