  • FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION

In the third of the first/last try competitions of the season (Llandovery v RGC),  the winners were Mark Vince (13) and Dai Thomas (15).

Centre Adam Warren scored the first try to the £50 benefit of Mark Vince and full back Tomi Lewis crossed for the last Llandovery try to earn Dai Thomas the other £50.

Mark was unable to be with us but Tomi Lewis presented Dai Thomas with his winnings of £50 in the main bar after the game.

The fourth round of the competition will be on October 28 on the occasion of the Llandovery v Neath game.

 

In the 25 Club correct score competition, the winner was Mrs Kate Morgan who was only four points off the correct score of 50-19. She took the £65 prize.
