Biography of Cen Williams |
---|
HERITAGE NO : 804 Cennyd Williams by Dave Dooley: One of Alex Murphy`s team-mates in the RAF XV, Cen Williams was a classy Welsh centre who played rugby union for Cardiff and toured with the Barbarians. He turned professional with St.Helens and scored two tries on his debut against Bramley on 23rd. March 1962. He played centre to the great Tom Van Vollenhoven on a number of occasions, but was forced to retire after a cartilage operation in 1969. Cen is the brother of the famous Welsh rugby union centre Bleddyn Williams. Following his brace of tries on debut he bagged another pair in the same season in the away fixture at Halifax. His smart play produced a regular place in the team during the next season, 1963/4. That campaign produced a brace of tries against Hull KR and a starting place in the Western Divisional Championship Final victory over Swinton. Moreover, both Vollenhoven and Killeen benefited from his silky skills. Nine tries from 26 matches continued his run in the first team in the 1964/5 season but the next three seasons saw only sporadic outings in the first team as competition for the centre berths reached red-hot proportions. Cen`s next major Final was the 1968 Lancashire Cup Final when the Saints ran riot in the second half to crush Oldham by 30 points to 2. On that day he played on the left wing. In all this fine centre`s play led to 34 tries in a career of 108 matches at the Saints - an impressive strike record! |
