25 CLUB NEWSLETTER NO 1 2024-2025

Please note that there is a separate 25 Club page on the Llandovery RFC web site with a drop down menu for newsletters. There is also a separate page for match reports.

 

  • FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION

The two £50 winners of the first competition of the SRC season, on the occasion of the Llandovery v Ebbw Vale game, were Katherine Davies who benefitted from a try by full back Jac Davies (15) and Howard Potter with a last try from replacement Finn Thomas (16).

The next competition will be on Thursday October 17 when Swansea are the visitors to Church Bank.

 

  • DISCOUNT

On production of their membership card, 25 Club members can take advantage of a 10% discount when eating in at The West End Café.

 

 

  • DRAGONBET

Bookmakers Dragonbet (dragonbet.co.uk) offered odds on the Llandovery v Ebbw Vale game.

They gave Ebbw a 10 point handicap start over the Drovers.

Llandovery fell well short of covering the handicap so number of 25 Club members who backed the team to win were much the poorer on Saturday night.

 

  • TICKETS

Orders for two tickets for the Autumn series or Six Nations internationals should be placed with Gina as as soon as possible.

                         
  • MEMBERSHIP CARDS

These are now available. If you did not pick them up last Saturday, they can be collected at the office at your convenience.

 

  • HOSPITALITY

The first hospitality day of the year is scheduled for 12 45 pm Saturday November 23 (Llandovery v Cardiff)
