I seem to remember watching Dave Rix play for the County's Reserves in the Welsh League many years ago. He was indeed a very good player (inside left IIRC). He told me that the Welsh League was no good for him because every time the County wanted a reserve match for one of the professionals, he could be left out of the team to make way.

I think there's a bench on Cwmbran boating lake with a plaque with his name on 🤔
