150 years of rugby in West Wales

Went to the event last night in PYS. Pretty well organised.Hosted by Ross Harries who plainly is a Scarlets fan having listed his local family credentials!  Historian / novelist Alun Hibbard spoke about the history of rugby in Llanelli up to the 1972 AB game for 15 minutes with no notes at all! Impressive and interesting. We had various interviews by Ross during the night Derek and Roy B ; Tony Copsey and Moony; Stevo and Dwayne ; Scott and Cubby and lastly Gareth J.All spoke well.Videos of the AB and Oz wins and European games as well. Ieuan was there and Nigel Walker as was Wayne Pivac ; Ioan Cunningham etc. About 200 attending which was light I felt and the only current player’s present were Foxy and Scott . It’s time now to move forward to the future ! Overall a very good night

Just painting a picture of the evening for my loyal fans (Teulu Scarlets etc ! 😉😂)  I think the lounge can take about 280-300 so it wasn’t very well attended but surprisingly it was organised pretty well. Next event in my diary is when we do  the league and EC double 🥳 it may be a while away

Whether that keeps space for the teams to eat or not, I can’t say. Glad you enjoyed it and glad that it went very well. Here’s hoping we’re all able to be there at your next diarised event. Longevity a pre-requisite.

In the Quinnell . Probably the final RFC table I suspect as well unless the phoenix rises from the ashes in 2025 !
