to Great Britain during the season, and although the team did not play against Ebbw Vale, they came to Bridge End Field to face Wales. Ebbw Vale supplied three players to the Wales team, Jenkins, H. Smith and G Hitchings; Jenkins was again given the honour of captaining the national team. The second Wales game of the season, held against England at Oldham, saw the last two players to represent Wales from Ebbw Vale, Jenkins and Llewellyn. Dissolution In August 1912, a month before the new season was about to start, the club lost two key members; Llew Llewellyn switched to Wigan and W. Higgins moved to Hull. Rumours began to circulate that the club finances were in a poor state, and the Merthyr Express reported that the club may not start the coming season. Despite the rumours, Ebbw Vale were expected to begin their programme with an away match to Huddersfield on 7 September. However, two days before the game it was announced by the club that they would not be able to send a team and that Vale had resigned from the Northern Rugby League, and the club disbanded.
