Welsh rugby clubs have been left devastated by Storm Dennis.
Crosskeys RFC, Blackwood RFC, Risca RFC and Bedwas RFC have had their grounds and clubhouses flooded.
A spokesman for Bedwas RFC said: "Following assessment of the club’s interior, we can confirm that our lounge, function room, bar, cellar and rugby facilities have taken extensive and serious damage due to the flooding from Storm Dennis.
"As a result, Bedwas RFC will be closed until further notice. Please keep an eye out on our social media and website for information regarding rugby fixtures and events as we look to begin the process of getting the club up and running again."
