25 CLUB NEWSLETTER No 7 – Jan 29 2023

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)  TWO WINNERS OF THE FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION

The sixth round of the 2022-23 competition – Llandovery v Ebbw Vale – saw two winners. Wing Aaron Warren (11) scored the first try, so earning Howard Potter £50.

Scrum half Lee Rees (9) got the last try winning Geraint Morgan the other £50

 The seventh round will be the next home league game against Pontypridd on Saturday Feb 11 (KO 1 pm)

 

2) Members who are still to pick up their 25 Club Membership cards can get them from Gina at the Church Bank Office. Most cards have been handed out but a small number of members are still to pick up their cards

 

Please note that these cards will give access to a 10% discount at the cafés listed underneath in 3)

3)      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.

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

For the Ebbw Vale game, the handicap was Llandovery – 8.5 so those who supported the Drovers to win by nine points or over were sadly out of pocket.

Details can be found on dragonbet.co.uk
