Wales Veterans' Presentation Evening - success!

By Alun Huish

Great night at Cardiff RFC!

The Wales Veterans' Football Annual Presentation Evening, held at Cardiff Rugby Club in Westgate Street turned out to be a great evening, which was enjoyed by all! Special thanks go out to our special guests Mike Flynn and FAW Chief, Noel Mooney.

Former Wigan and Newport star Mike Flynn regaled the 'boisterous' gathering with his special insight into life as a professional player and manager...S4C's Mark Jones posed the questions in an absorbing 30 minute Q&A session, prior to a 'comprehensive' awards ceremony.

Firstly, Noel Mooney, awarded 'Vice-President' status to
Handley Brustad, Keith Sullivan, Jeff Dudley, Neal Evans and former WVF secretary, David Drew...for their outstanding contribution to Wales Veterans' Football
