25 CLUB NEWSLETTER No 8 – Feb 13 2023

2)      10% DISCOUNT

 West End Cafe continues to offer all 25 Club members a discount of 10% on food and beverage purchased at the cafe. Claim your 10% on production of your new 25 Club membership card.

The Three Horse Shoes offer a 10% discount on all restaurant meals and in house drinks – again on production of the 25 Club card.

Ozzy’s Kebab & Pizza offers 10% discount on production of the card.

3) Members will be interested to know that betting continues on both the Welsh Premiership and Championship with bookmakers DragonBet.

For the Pontypridd game, the handicap was Llandovery –13.5 so those who supported the Drovers to win by fourteen points or over were sadly out of pocket.

Details can be found on dragonbet.co.uk

4) The next 25 Club all inclusive hospitality date is Saturday March 25 (1 pm – 2 25 pm) when the Drovers entertain Llanelli.

The end of season dinner will be on Friday May 5 – a three course meal with all beer and wines included. More details to follow.

If the number of losses is equal then the Club having recorded the most tries in the Season shall be given preference. If the number of tries is equal the points ‘for’ shall be divided by the points ‘against’ and the team with the highest factor shall be declared to have the better rec
