This 'home' jersey from the 2004-05 season was presented to the archive by long time Ospreys and Swansea supporters Keith Davies. The 2004-05 season saw the Neath-Swansea Ospreys, as they were then, win their first silverware as they topped the Celtic League with 76 pts and 16 wins out of 20 matches, losing just three. Gavin Henson was the leading points scorer for the second time, with 175 pts. The title was confirmed at a 29 - 12 win over Edinburgh at The Gnoll, Neath on 26th March 2005. Barry Williams was the captain and lifted the trophy on the pitch at full-time.
