Note
Caersws Quoits Club was first referenced in 1932; however, no club records exist between 1940 and 1970. The club's first International match, between Wales and Scotland, took place at Caersws's Greenlands site in 1979. Two of Caersws Quoits Club's most prolific players were Brendan Lloyd and Russell Owen, who represented Wales twenty-one and ten times, respectively. The retirement of these two men in 2021 signaled the demise of Caersws Quoits Club. (http://www.ukquoits.org/page335.html)
