25 CLUB NEWSLETTER NO 7 2023-2024

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.

 

1)      FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION

In the fifth of the first/last try competitions of the season (Llandovery v Pontypool), the winners were Geri Davies (9) and Howard Potter (17).

Lee Rees scored the first try to the £50 benefit of Geri and replacement Taylor Davies crossed for the last Llandovery try to earn Howard the other £50.

The sixth round of the competition will be on November 25 on the occasion of the Llandovery v Newport game.

 

 

2)      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.

 

Ozzy’s have also generously offered a 10% discount on purchases.
