Thank you to:

Dunvant RFC

Dunvant RFC battled the torrential rain and played on a very soggy pitch at their  Vets' 125th anniversary match on 15 March.  Attendance was affected by the weather but they still managed to raise £670.  They are still fundraising and will organise raffles etc at their anniversary dinner in May.  I hope it goes well and thanks for your support.
