Testimonial dinner date for Dafydd Jones


Popular Wales and Scarlets back-row forward Dafydd Jones will be the guest of honour at a special Testimonial Dinner being staged at Parc y Scarlets on Saturday, July 9.
More than 300 are expected to attend the event at The Quinnell lounge.
“It promises to be one of the ‘must attend’ events of the year for sports fans,” said one of the organisers, Albert Francis.
“Dafydd Jones has been a tremendous servant to Llanelli RFC and the Scarlets rugby region. He’s a popular guy with the fans and this testimonial year tribute is well deserved as he has had to retire from rugby because of injury.
“There’ll be plenty of stars in the audience, including Scarlets rugby heroes from today and from yesteryear.”
The MC for the evening will be Scarlets legend Rupert Moon and the entertainment will be provided by comedian Harry Scott.
Dafydd Jones played 201 games for Llanelli and the Scarlets, scoring 24 tries, and earned his first Wales cap against Fiji on 9 November 2002, going on to represent his country on 42 occasions, scoring two tries.
Dinner details: Three course meal. Dress Code: Smart. Time: 7:30 for 8:00 p.m. £35 per head or £350 for a table of 10.
Anyone interested in tickets should contact Mrs Dawn Jenkins, the secretary of the Dafydd Jones Testimonial Committee on 07974 381296, or 01554 752277 or 01554 773633.
