The wake will follow at Southerndown golf club where Owen was a very proficient golfer. He played rugby on the wing and was a keen supporter of the Ath and Tondu alternately following the very successful playing careers of his two sons.

 

Grufydd Davies enjoyed a long and distinguished playing career at lock or back row with BARFC commencing at 1ST XV level in 1998. He is 16th in the all-time senior playing appearances with BARFC with 246 senior games and 27 tries.
