Club statement: 2022-2023 season structure

Pontypool RFC welcomes today’s announcement from the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) that the 2022-2023 season will include the opportunity to gain promotion to the WRU Indigo Premiership.

At a meeting held with WRU Admiral National Championship clubs yesterday evening at the Principality Stadium, it was confirmed that a full home and away league campaign will return for the 2022-2023 season and that the top two finishing clubs at the end of the season will be promoted to an expanded 14-team WRU Indigo Premiership for the 2023-2024 season.

With the future structure of Welsh club rugby now confirmed, Pontypool RFC has the clarity required to prepare for a promotion push next season.

Pontypool RFC has never wavered from its ambition to establish itself as a leading Premiership club and everyone at the club is looking forward to the road ahead.

The journey continues this weekend with a trip to Ystalyfera RFC in the fourth round of this season’s WRU Admiral National Championship.
