| Bit of a strange one. Was on the train yesterday wearing a Scarlets t shirt when a Scottish guy a few seats along seeing the logo engaged me in conversation. Apparently he had been at a Llanelli v Australia game at Stradey many years ago.He remembers being quite drunk and at the end of the game making off with an iron cat which he claimed was quite a feature there at the time and kept it in his garden for several years until it rusted away . I have no recollection of a ferrous feline but he sounded pretty sure so just thought I would mention it on here just incase anyone can shed any light on whether any basis to his claim or if it was just a wind up. |

Kidwelly is the land of the black cat (cath ddu) Apparently the cat was the first thing seen after they emerged from the great plague and gave hope to kidwellians  ------------- ROYMOND MUNTER MBE (FOR SERVICES TO THE COMBOVER) |
