Rugby Clubs in Forest of Dean 1890 to 1908 (General)

I am trying to trace my Father Fred Blewitt who we believe played Rugby Union in either the Forest of Dean or Wales in the late 1800 early 1900's. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1909 so it would have been before then. We had in the family (sadly now missing) a Rugby Cap which was either Black or Dark Blue with silver cord which was bought out on high days and holidays for inspection, but Dad was not the most informative person and the surviving siblings cannot remember what he said it was for besides Rugby. We have checked with the Welsh Rugby Union and Swansea and Cardiff as he had family ties there but to no avail, so we wondered if he may have played for one of the Forest Teams. Any help would be appreciated to help solve this family mystery.

Thanks
Tony in New Zealand.
