Please note that there is a separate 25 Club page on the Llandovery RFC web site with a dropdown menu for newsletters. There is also a separate page for match reports.
1) FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION
The two £50 winners of the twelfth competition of the SRC season, on the occasion of
the Llandovery v Aberavon game, were Phil Ratcliffe who benefitted from a try by wing Llien Morgan (11) and Huw S Thomas with a last try from Taylor Davies (2).
The next competition will hopefully be on Saturday May 3 if the Drovers can finish in third or fourth place in the table. Much will depend on the away results against Cardiff (April 12) and Bridgend (April 17)
2) HOSPITALITY
The end of season black tie Gala Dinner will take place at the clubhouse on Friday 23 May 2025 (6 30 for 7)
A four course meal, inclusive of all beers and wines, quiz and a Question and Answer session with the club coaches are on the agenda.
The sooner members can let Gina know of their attendance + guests, the better.
Members can bring extra guests at a price of £60 per person for an all inclusive night.
Space allowing, non members who wish to attend will be charged at £60.
3) DRAGONBET
Bookmakers Dragonbet (dragonbet.co.uk) offered odds on the Llandovery v Aberavon
game.
They gave the Wizards a 16 points handicap start over the Drovers.
Llandovery won by just five points (33-28) so a number of 25 Club members were out of pocket on the day.
4) 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.
