Gentlemen, we're not 'done for' yet...

Coming up!

Our final Club Championship game is at home against Pontardawe tomorrow (Saturday). So come on gents, let's pull out all the stops and give it our best shot.

We have a bye in the first round of the Knock-out Cup, due to be played on Sunday, and are through to the quarter-finals (more on that fixture later).

Best wishes to Gemma Amos, who is travelling to Llanelli on Sunday for the Junior team development day.

Teams have now been selected for the ladies' friendly game against the Meads on Sunday. List is on the board. Raffle prizes would be appreciated.

Special thoughts are with our chairman's wife Hetty, who is recovering following an operation for a pacemaker.

Our very best wishes for a speedy recovery.
