It was with much sadness that we learned of the passing of Cyril O’Connor in the early hours of last Thursday.

As everyone in the local rugby community knows, Cyril was a great man, loved by all who met him, and a stalwart of Tata Steel RFC for the last twenty years or so.

Cyril was instrumental in the successful merger of St.Josephs Old Boys with British Steel as it was then known, and thanks to his efforts & endeavour , the club has continued to thrive , and was a source of great pride to him that Tata Steel are still a force in the National Championship.
Everyone in the club had a special connection with Cyril, from the younger players in the minis & juniors sections , right through to the first team squad, and his many friends amongst the committee and supporters.
Although it is a sad time for Cyril’s family and friends, it must be remembered he had a great life, made many friends, and will always be remembered by the rugby community of Port Talbot.
