| On
behalf of Newcastle Emlyn RFC I would like to extend a warm welcome to
today's opponents Ammanford, and all their officials and supporters.
These are unchartered waters for both teams as this is the first year
for the WRU to run a competition for for first round losers in the
SWALEC Cup. Ammanford are having a very successful season in Division Two and must be considered favourites for today's game. However I am certain that our boys willrise to the occasion and do themselves, the club and coaches proud. We are already planning for next season and are delighted to announce that Emyr Jones will be re-joining the club next year. Emyr has had a very successful playing career with Carmarthen Quins. For the last two years he has been player coach with Felinfoel, leading them to promotion to the First Division last year and they are comfortably mid-table this season. We are certain he will bring a wealth of experience to the club as a coach and player. He will be joining the present set up as the club's Director of Rugby.
