08 Jan JPR WILLIAMS

Bridgend Ravens are devastated to announce the passing of JPR Williams.

An icon of the World game, John Peter Rhys Williams served Bridgend Ravens as a player and most recently as Club President.

He was capped 55 times for Wales and made 8 Test Appearances for the British and Irish Lions. Highlights of his illustrious career included winning two Schweppes Cup Titles with Bridgend in 1979 and 1980 and Three Grand Slam Titles in 1971, 1976 and 1978 for Wales.

Following his retirement from the game, JPR became a key figure of the club’s administrative team, serving as Bridgend Ravens Club President – a role he held until his passing.

JPR’s passing leaves a huge void at the club, and our thoughts are with his friends and family at this sad time.
