- FIRST/LAST TRY COMPETITION
As the Llandovery v Aberavon game was a Cup match, there was no first/last try competition for 25 Club members. The competition runs on Premiership league games alone.
The seventh round of the competition will be on December 16 on the occasion of the Llandovery v Aberavon league game.
- 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.
- DRAGONBET
Bookmakers Dragonbet (dragonbet.co.uk) offered odds on the Llandovery v Aberavon game.
They gave the Wizards a 23 point handicap start against the Drovers.
Llandovery won by a margin of 55 (58-3) so a number of 25 Club members who backed the team to win by over 23 points were well in the money.
The Drovers have covered every handicap – bar one – in this year’s Premiership, making them the team to follow if you like a punt.
- SIX NATIONS
Members can now apply for their pair of complimentary tickets for any one of Wales’s home games in the 2024 Six Nations.
Wales v Scotland Saturday Feb 3; Wales v France Sunday March 10; Wales v Italy Saturday March 16.
Please send requests to Gina at the club, the sooner the better.
