The sooner Tenby Borough Council get rid of the De Valence Pavilion, the better. Those were the words of a senior member of the council, Alderman W.S. John. Alderman John gave this advice to members of the council’s finance and general purposes committee. He said if they got rid of the pavilion into private hands, it would relieve the council of a lot of trouble.

Rugby: Cardigan 6 pts Tenby United 17. A gale force wind spoilt any chance of an open game at Cardigan where the United, without too much trouble, came away with two league points. It was the case of the team adapting the tactics to win the game. Tenby kept the game forward and their eight, with Mervyn John was outstanding, controlled the exchanges throughout the game and scored the opening try. The try was converted by Lynn Rees. Lynn put the United further ahead with a neat penalty from the 25. Haydn Wichland scored the United’s second try. Lynn Rees has now scored 60 points and looked pretty certain to be the first United forward in the club’s history to score a century of points.
