  • FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION

The two £50 winners of the latest competition on the occasion of the Llandovery v Bridgend Premiership game were Huw S Thomas who benefitted from a try by hooker Taylor Davies (2) and David Boorer with a late try from Harri Doel (11).

 

The next leg of the competition will be on May 4, the Premiership semi final Llandovery v Cardiff.

 

 

  • HOSPITALITY

We can now confirm that the end of season Black Tie dinner for members and a guest will be at the clubhouse on Friday 17 May – 7 for 7 30 pm.

The all inclusive dinner will be accompanied by a rugby/sport/general knowledge Prize Quiz and a Question and Answer Forum with the club coaches.

Members are encouraged to invite or bring extra guests to enjoy the all inclusive evening at a cost of £60 per head – or tables of 10 discounted to £550

Please inform Gina of your attendance with/without a guest and any extra paying guests asap.

We are hoping that the WRU Cup – and Premiership Trophy? –  will be on show that evening

  • DRAGONBET

Bookmakers Dragonbet (dragonbet.co.uk) offered odds on the Llandovery v Bridgend   Premiership game.

WRU regulations state:

National League placings will be decided on the basis of League points gained during the season. Where teams have gained equal numbers of League points, the team with the most wins shall be given preference. If the number of wins is equal, the team with the fewest losses shall be given preference. 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 record
