Llandovery Llandovery RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB L landovery RFC is a fine example of a club that is achieving success on the field and also playing a vital role in their local community. Chairman Handel Davies took the time to tell us more about the good work that they have been doing lately. Atmosphere He told us, “The mood is extremely buoyant having got off to a flying start under our new coaching team winning the Principality Premiership 7’s for the 2nd successive year and following that up by winning our first four league games against Cross Keys, Llanelli, Bridgend and 50-0 over Ebbw Vale. Everyone at the Club is optimistic given this great start and there is a general belief that we should have a very good season provided of course, as always, that our squad remains relatively injury free.” Success “Undoubtedly an important factor has been the recruitment of a few top quality players to complement our current playing squad including full back Wil Thomas who has played for Wales 7’s and Cardiff Blues and goal kicking outside half Jack Maynard. The squad assembled at Church Bank is a very young one by any standards and our back line is not short of pace with no fewer than five players having represented Wales 7’s in recent years. The challenge for our forward pack is to provide them with enough ball to enable them to showcase their talents which so far this season they have been able to do so scoring 18 tries in the first four games much to the joy of our supporters!” www.sportip.biz 63
