Soapbox Corner . . .
We all love a bit of a grumble and Soapbox Corner will allow people to do that. We will always have a viewpoint on sporting events locally or nationally and invite others to contribute their opinions, as long as they are not venomous and based on fact.
Talbot Timber are our sponsors of this part of pembrokeshiresport.co.uk and we are indebted to Simon Kiff for agreeing to come on board with us.
Simon was a very good cricketer with Llangwm before becoming a keen sailor and fisherman - and was always ready to speak his mind so perhaps he might have a word or to say in the future about what is going on in the sporting community!
