Burry Port E F Y H R RHYFELWYR LLANELLI WARRIORS TYMOR 2017 - 2018 SEASON Origin Cup17/18 Rhaglen Origin Cup17/18 Llanelli Warriors Burry Port £2 V Programme 1 Personal Player sponsorship is still available Ask committee for details 2 Recent Result: Llanelli Warriors 15 25 Llanishen 26/11/17 Tough Day for Tired Warriors Llanishen say goodbye to USK road in style. A Warriors side rather depleted the day after a hard match and heavy night, still played a full part in this entertaining game that helped Llanishen end their time at USK road before moving on to a purpose built 3G pitch next season. With 6 last minute withdrawals the Warriors had to reshuffle. Gwilym moving to scrum half at such moments has become standard but also moving out of the pack were Nathan Lawson at 13 and Jordan Jones at 14. Llanishen fielded a combined XV of 1sts and 2nds and set abut enjoying themselves. Cross kicks and ambitious passes were the order of the day but stout defence and some lapses frustrated them for most of the game. The Warriors dominated at times and the pack worked hard in rumbling forwards with Jenkins, Mark Lewis, Dai Haines and Richard Evans all going strong and man of the match Tomos Hall hitting ruck after ruck. Llanishen never looked like losing and crossed for 5 fine tries as they showed off their full range of skills. The Warriors got on the board in the 1st half when the elusive Andrew Davies wriggled through. The 2nd half was closer with Ben Winstanley turning through a pile of bodies and right at the death Davies followed up a scrum half break to bag his 2nd try. Conversions could have made the score closer but there were no complaints from the Warriors over the result. The End of the Road for the ground then but the Warriors keep marching on. Warriors: Simon Day, Dan John, Nathan Laswson, Ben Winstanley, Jordan Jones, Jamie Evans, Gwilym Lewis, Mark Lewis, Richard Evans (Cpt), John Horwood (Darren Pollitt), Andrew Davies, Dai Haines, Simon Jenkins, Tomos Hall. Ref: Marc Wakeham The day after the night before, a chilly day spent at Usk Road chatting to ex Warriors Mike Seignot and sorting out who had made it and who had drunkenly gone back to Llanelli and wouldn’t make the game. Even those that took the field were struggling; Jordan playing with what turned out to be a broken hand, Polly struggling through the pain of a bad ankle and Ben Princess having to leave the field. Apart from the rugby and the cold there was a fair amount of traipsing about and not a lot of food, even missing the buffet at Scrum V. Still looking back it was a great achievement to play the Chiefs first match and spend the international day in Cardiff, go back up and help Llanishen sign off on their old ground and visit Scrum V. Congratulations to Llanishen, not only on the win, but also signing off at Usk Road in such style, good luck with the new 3G pitch next season. Shame the interview didn’t quite come off but the producers have been in touch, they sent their apologies and are looking to have us back on during the 6 Nations.

Thank you for coming along today, Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda. Sport is as much a part of the festive season as anything else and it’s great to be a part of it. We hope you will join us in the clubhouse later for some socialising and even more rugby on the tv. It’s nice to be back at our home ground in Burry Port for only the 3rd time this season having made 4 trips to Cardiff and 2 to Betws, even training has been in Carmarthen recently. With all the excitement of facing new teams like Cardiff Chiefs and Cardiff Falcons it is also good to renew rivalries with clubs like Betws and especially our hosts Burry Port. Personal friendships, old scores and bragging rights all ad to the occasion and we look forward to writing another chapter in our shared history today. It Congratulations to the team that secured a draw in Betws last week, especially to James Duke who made his debut and Simon Jenkins who was named Man of the Match. With Christmas soon to be history we will be heading into a busy time of the year for the Warriors – the 6 Nations and so there is likely to be only 1 fixture in January (stay tuned for details folks!) but there will be a disco and possibly other fundraising events so please keep a eye on the website and social media. This time of year it is natural to reflect on the last 12 months and the Warriors have had an incredible 2017 which included playing the Basque Champions Gaztedi, England’s Premier Mixed Ability side the Bumble Bees, Samoan Champions Vaiala Ulalei, play 5 matches in New Zealand, help start a new side in Cardiff and win our own 7s tournament. That’s good going for any club and of course we also had our usual local matches, monthly discos, black tie dinner and presentation evening. Of course we also look forward and February will see us at London Welsh on Wales v England Day and back in Bradford towards the season end. So before we kick off today, Pwb lwc i pawb heddi, Good luck to all today, Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda ichi gyd, Ymlaen y Rhyfelwyr!

He made his debut in match 49 – a 10-0 win over the Swansea Gladiators. He went on to play 77 times over 8 seasons. Initially he started on the wing and even featured once at prop before moving into the 2nd row, replacing Stephen Walley in the engine room and was until recently the 2nd most prolific player in the position next to the ever durable John Horwood. On field he was known for being ever reliable and for once turning up with a face full of orange foundation, off field it was for his memory.

  • TR8. Ammanford to Pontarddulais April 2018
    Heart of Wales Line Trail Route Instructions to Walkers Ammanford to Pontarddulais (14 km) 1. Leave Ammanford railway station, turn right into Station Road and left at the main junction. Turn right into College Street (A483) to walk through town, passing the bus station on the left, to the junction corralled by railings. Cross the road to proceed ahead along Quay Street, a pedestrianised area which leads to a sculpture depicting the mining heritage of the town. Go ahead again at the first roundabout, passing by the Railway Hotel, and through gates over the Amman Valley railway line. Continue to another roundabout and aim towards the bridge in Park Street over the River Amman. However, go right immediately before the bridge on a surfaced path alongside the river. Follow this down to the rear of the Tesco supermarket where you cut right across a road (currently a dead end) to join the walk and cycling route to Pantyffynnon which also happens to be the Fair Trade Way at this point. This runs along the back of the supermarket, then left alongside security fencing and the railway track. 2. You reach a junction. For those finishing a walk at Pantyffynnon railway station go over the tracks again and turn left for the station, about 5 minutes at most. Otherwise, go left at the junction to continue. If you are starting your walk at Pantyffynon railway station leave the platform next to the level crossing and go right along Pantyffynon Road. Look for a road off to the right across the railway line and keep ahead to join the main route.

  • Capital Visit for the Cameras
    The Online Welsh Rugby Championship has been devised and created by All Wales Sport Ltd. The Online Welsh Rugby Championship - Saturday Preview by Ian Davies - chief Rugby writer Capital visit for the cameras Premiership giants Cardiff play their last league game at home in the online season, and there to stream 'live' the Pool 8 clash against South Wales Police will be Rajasthan TV Channel 2. '' Cardiff are one of the great clubs in world rugby and have provided more players for the Welsh national team and the British & Irish Lions than any other in Wales, '' said Mr. I. M. Bean, who is head of sport at the channel. It all started in 1876 when Cardiff Rugby Football Club was founded following a meeting at Swiss Hall, Queen Street, when the amalgamation of two clubs, Glamorgan and Cardiff Wanderers was agreed. The first competitive game was played at Wentloog Marshes on 2nd December that year. The first home game was played at Sophia Gardens, but the club soon relocated to its famous ground at Cardiff Arms Park which was named after the local Cardiff Arms public house and on the grounds of the old Cardiff Hotel. Cardiff's iconic home was soon to be shared by Wales, who staged internationals on the ground from 12th April, 1884 until 15th March,1997. Wales beat Ireland by two tries and a dropped goal to nil in their first international at Cardiff Arms Park, but lost their last one 34-13 against England. In 1999 the National Stadium, Cardiff Arms Park, as it was officially known, was replaced by the Millennium (Principality).
