This Newport RFC cap was initially awarded in 1901-02 season and also has these other seasons embroidered around the rim: 1902-03, 1903-04, 1904-05, 1905-06, 1906-07, 1907-08, 1909-10, Jack Jenkins wrote a chapter on Welsh Rugby in 'Rugby Football Up-to Date', edited by EHD Sewell, he says of this period 

"This introduction of the Rhondda element revolutionised Welsh forward play and the result was soon apparent in the play of the big clubs. Newport from 1900-05 had very fine sides but Swansea had better ones, the latter going through one season undefeated and during another only losing once to Newport. I played in that game, which we won by a dropped goal, scored in the first few minutes, to nil. For the remainder of the match we could not get out of our 25. Trew, Gordon Rees, Geo. Davies, Arnold with Owen and Jones, tried every move on the board to get a score. Once Arnold was through and over the line, when Adams came from nowhere and fairly carried the little wing and ball into touch in goal. Never before or since have I felt more thankful when the final whistle went. I shalI always remember that game as the hardest I ever took part in, and to-day I carry the remains of a ‘cauliflower' ear as it’s result."  

The cap which is made or supplied by Simmonds of Newport looks to have some repairs to the tassel on top otherwise the cap is in good condition.
