1) TWO WINNERS OF THE FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION
The tenth round of the 2022-23 competition – Llandovery v Llanelli – saw two winners. Macs Page (13) scored the first try, so earning Paul Adams £50.
The last try was a penalty try (24) so Huw S Thomas benefits to the tune of £50
The 11th round will be the next home league game against Swansea on Saturday April 8

4) The date of end of season dinner has had to be changed from Friday May 5 to Friday April 28 because there is a strong possibility that Llandovery will be playing in a Premiership play off the week-end May 5/6/7.
On April 28, 25 Club members and partners/guests will enjoy a three course meal with all beer and wines included. Any member may invite an extra person at an all inclusive cost of £60.
We are hoping that the club coaches will do a Q and A session on the night and there will be a prize quiz for everyone. More details to follow.
PLEASE LET GINA KNOW ASAP YOUR INTENTION TO ATTEND AND WHETHER YOU WILL BE BRINGING A GUEST
