Revenge of the Turkey - Mid Glam V Wilthsire

What an apt banner we had this match, a stuffing indeed although not as we had planned.

The score did not portray the closeness of the games but in the end its the all important 3 points that count, and this time Wiltshire took home the trophies. We promise to bring it back on our return match in March. Until then click the title above to see how the day panned out !

Forged Notes

 

Gwent Police are warning local businesses and the public to be on the look out for counterfeit £20 notes, which have been circulating in the Caerphilly County Borough Area recently.
In recent weeks, over 30 £20 notes have been handed in from the Caerphilly area, the notes are of a high quality, so it is essential that people check the money they are given, either by a customer or by a business. Officers are urging retailers and members of the public to take a close look at the bank notes they receive in any exchanges to protect themselves from becoming victim of the counterfeit cash in circulation.

Gloucestershire V Mid Glam

On a cool, crisp Winter’s day, Mid Glamorgan took on Gloucestershire’s first team on foreign soil. It hasn’t been the best time for Gloucestershire sport, with a certain English rugby player not really showering himself in glory and making a mockery of professional sport. However , Gloucester played with alot of fight and enthusiasm but unfortunately, they were no match for Mid Glamorgan who romped to victory, comfortably winning 13-2.
