The former Wales U20 outside half notched 163 points for RGC as he completed 50 unbroken games for the Gogs. That put him well ahead of the top scorer in 2018/19, Aberavon’s Jack Maynard with 148, and he still had five games to play.
The north Walians were the leading points and try scorers in the Premiership with 409 and 53 respectively. That kept them just ahead of table-toppers Cardiff, six places above them, although they played one more game than their Arms Park rivals, who ended with 392 points and 50 tries.
McBryde’s total included six tries – two short of Pontypridd wing Dale Stuckey, who topped the table with eight. This is the second season in a row a winger from Ponty has claimed the honours, with Alex Webber running away with the gong last year.
One try behind Stuckey was the Carmarthen Quins hooker Torin Myhill, who plundered his tries on the back of his side’s lethal driving maul, while the RGC wings Afon Bagshaw and Rhys Tudor also ended with a magnificent seven.
Cardiff ended the season seven points clear of the Quins having played one game less. Aberavon were one point further back in third, on the same number of matches as the Blue & Blacks.
