Club steward Anne Lonsdale and her team prepared a superb fulsome plated buffet prior to the presentation of the annual awards. Backs coach Clive James gave a light-hearted review of events in the preceding 12 months, before the club's director of rugby, Jonathan Dodd, reviewed the performance of the first team last season. He said that it had been a successful season in that the club finished third in Division One of the league and had scored more tries than any other team in the division. In addition, the club had won the coveted Pembrokeshire Cup after defeating Whitland in the final. The team had played good rugby, but performances had been inconsistent. He paid tribute to the support and hard work of the players and the help that he had received from the coaching team and team management. He mentioned the sterling service provided to the club over the years by scrum-half Chris MacDonald, who has decided to hang up his boots after a long glittering playing career He concluded by saying that there was a lot to look forward to as nearly all of the squad have signed up for next season.
