LEGENDARY former rugby referee Nigel Owens has offered his support to a Welsh rugby team whose clubhouse was ravaged by a fire, as a fundraiser was launched to help them get back on their feet.

Penarth RFC said it was in a “state of shock” following the fire which destroyed its clubhouse on Monday.

Fire investigators later confirmed that the fire, which started at around 5am, was caused by an electrical fault.

Firefighters managed to prevent the fire spreading to the club's historic stand but the clubhouse, which is also home to Penarth Cricket and Penarth Hockey, has been left in ruins.

A fundraiser launched to support the club said the community is “heartbroken” about what happened.
