The White Lion pub in Felinfoel formed a team to raise money for one of their regulars. Despite a strong presence from the local rugby club everything thing went the Warriors way and they scored their highest total to date.
Ed McVicar was to the fore in the pack, even recovering from a very heavy hit, whilst Richard Griffiths and Wayne Comley excelled in the backline. A large crowd were treated to an exhibition of running rugby on a perfect sunny day. Jeff 'Pies'Thomas was eventually 'persuaded' to make a debut while Neil 'German' looked to be the happiest rugby player alive when he scored following a run of Phil ruddal until Adrian Payne scored at the death. The highlight for the White was seeing Chris 'Karate' on a rugby pitch although he didn't go so far as to show his legs. The day made a decent so much money that eventually the Warriors got a donation back. A large crowd returned to the White but it slowly dwindeled as it crawled towards town.
