The sale was part of a fortnightly sheep auction

Rugby jerseys, ties and scarves as well as pens and pencils with the club logo were included in the sale.

The auction was part of a fortnightly sheep market in Pencoed, Bridgend.

Many fans who had gathered for the sale described it as being the final "sad chapter" of the club's short-lived history.

The Warriors - created only last year by merging players from Bridgend and Pontypridd - had been fully bought out by the Welsh Rugby Union, after mounting financial problems.

But the side being wound up angered many fans in both towns.

Simon Green, who was the chairman of the supporters' club attended the sale.

Simon Green said it was a sad day for fans

"It is a very sad day to see everything lined out like this in a field which used to be the old sewerage works - it is just typical of the way the club was treated," he said.

"It is just very sad. We were all looking forward to watching the next season.

"The club only played one season but they captured the imagination of the fans.

"And the fans are very bitter at what has happened.

"If David Moffett (WRU chief executive) had turned up here today, he would not have had a good welcome at all.

"It is just a very sad day and I am hoping to buy something that will serve as a reminder of what was and could have been," he said.

Fans turned up to buy mementoes of the club

A number of items were up for sale including new clothing, water bottles, key rings and car stickers. There was also a scrum machine available.

Everything was sold during the auction which was attended by many fans of the club who wanted to get a lasting reminder of the club.

A box of pencils was sold for �7 while one fan splashed out �24 on a box of car stickers.

And a number of jerseys were sold for around �25.

Robert Nash from Pontypridd bought some ties and scarves.

"It is good that they are letting the fans get a chance to buy these things but it is a very sad day," he said.

"I will be wearing mine with pride," he said.

And Paul Edwards went along to the sale during his lunch break.

"I think it is atrocious what has happened with the club," he said.

"I am glad we are able to buy some mementoes though but it is still sad," he added.

The Warriors were disbanded in June after being put into liquidation by the Welsh Rugby Union.
