UPDATE
Following a meeting between Officers, Committee Team Management and players, the Club has decided on a Tour to CYPRUS, It will take place for 7days leaving on Sun 6th of May 2007. A party of approx 45 travel. will stay in AYIA NAPA.
The tour took place and was a great success, Llan played the 8th Royal Transport Corp, and won a very good game 25 - 12, they then played Dhekalia Lions and after 5 days of great hospitality by their hosts where a large amount of liquid refresment was consumed, the hosts got the better of them. Llan lost a hard umcomprimising game 5- 19, the Lions fielded 9 Fiians in their squad some of who were full Fijian Internationals. Llan never gave up and all who played did the club proud.
