North of Cardiff, North of Cardiff itself, over the River Taff, past the imposing Ysgol Glantaf, is yet another part of Cardiff, our Capital City, a part steeped in pride and stories in particular of its own Rugby Club whose past goes back so far that there is no record of its actual beginning. What is known is that there was a side, known as ‘Llandaff Yard’ which was formed in 1898 and it is claimed that the deep rooted traditions go back even further than local rivals, LLandaff City R.F.C., which was one of the founder members of the W.R.U. in 1884. ‘Llandaff Yard’, was named because at the time there was a physical division formed by the long disused Merthyr to Cardiff canal, which separated Hawthorn from Highfields. North of this division was Yorath’s Yard which gave its name to the Rugby Club there from.
