IT'S ONLY a few short weeks it seems since the rugby season ended but Barry RFC players have already been in pre-season training for the past four weeks.

With only six weeks to the opening fixtures of the season the club have arranged three warm-up games welcoming Loughor and Croesyceiliog at home on August 13 and 20 respectively.

The following Saturday, August 27, Barry travel to Gloucestershire to face Lydney, a repeat of last year's fixture, where the home club provided a warm welcome to the travelling party.

To encourage players and supporters to make the trip, the club has arranged an 80 seater coach which will leave the club at noon on the day.

The club welcomes new players, and if your interested in playing at any level weekly training sessions are Tuesdays and Thursdays at the club beginning at 7pm.

This week's lottery numbers were 2, 4, 5 and 10 and once again there were no winners, so this week's prize will be £2,310.
