Jenkins was given the captaincy in a 39-18 victory for the Welsh. Another honour achieved by the club during the 1909/10 season was the inclusion of "Chick" Jenkins in the very first over-seas tour of the Great Britain team. Led by James Lomas, Jenkins was one of seven Welshmen selected for the tour, but he was the only player to be selected directly from one of the Welsh teams. Jenkins played in ten matches of the tour, scoring three tries and four goals, but was never selected for any of the Test matches. 1910–1911 With the withdrawal of Treherbert as a rugby league club, the Welsh League came to an end, with only Merthyr and Ebbw Vale remaining from the six Welsh clubs. They experienced a difficult start to the Northern Rugby League, with just one win from the first seven games, but a good run through October and November saw the team achieve wins over Runcorn, Hunslet, Coventry and Halifax. After a win over Merthyr on Boxing Day, the club then went into a slump, losing 13 games in a row, which was only halted on the last game of the season when they beat York. Ebbw Vale finished the season with nine wins from 30 matches, ending 25th out of 28 teams. Ebbw Vale again entered the Challenge Cup, this time going out in the first round to Batley. Wales played two more international games this season, and Ebbw Vale fielded three players in both games, Jenkins, Llewellyn and Foley. The first game was played away at Coventry, while the home match was again played at Bridge End Field. 1911–1912 1911–12 was to be Ebbw Vale's last season, Merthyr Tydfil having folded at the end of the previous season, leaving Ebbw Vale as the lone representative rugby league team in Wales. The start of the Northern Rugby League campaign saw Ebbw Vale lose the first five matches, and their form did not improve much throughout the season; winning just four games, drawing three and losing 23. They ended the season 25th out of 27 clubs, and in April, towards the end of the campaign, they failed to field a complete team of 13 players in matches to Halifax and Hull Kingston Rovers. The team also failed to get past the first round of the Challenge Cup, this time losing 10–2 to Halifax. A second touring Australian team came
