The Deadballline Guy loves a bit of mud-wrestling, so he put on his spandex costume and headed for Llanelli Wanderers to see them play Whitland in a proper six-pointer mud fest.
Before the game, he spoke to Richard Keenan – Mr. Wanderers – the club secretary and chairman of WRU district G.
DBG meets District G. What a contest.
But what the other mob? Here’s Deaders with Whitland club president Gilbert Williams along with his good mate Hayden, a lifelong clubman who’s been following Whitland for 70 years. Yep, since the 1950s.

In a hard-fought game, the Whitland boys earned a narrow 9-7 win to stay mid-table in National League Division One West.
2 happy @whitlandrfc players following a tough 80mins! What i like was the honesty that they would have lost the game a couple of wks ago!
