Golf Day on the radio

Golf day for Dafydd Jones at The Ash

Popular Wales and Scarlets back-row forward Dafydd Jones will have a birthday treat at The Ashburnham Golf Club in Pembrey on Friday afternoon (June 24).

A celebrity golf tournament is being staged at the club as part of his testimonial year. Jones is 32 on Friday and recently announced his retirement as a player after a series of injury blows.

The day is being sponsored by Mark Burch, of the Haverfordwest-based Burch Wealth Management firm, and has been organised by Ashburnham stalwart Albert Francis, who recently received the MBE from The Queen for his charity work.

Mr Francis said: “It will be a shotgun start at 1pm at ‘The Ash’. The competition is for teams of four and there will be two celebrities per team. It’s a great chance for autograph hunters or for someone who wants to help caddy for the day!”

Mr Francis added: “I am very grateful to everyone who has supported the day as Dafydd has been a great servant for the Scarlets and for Wales. He 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.”
