Sports Spotlight . . . from PEMBROKESHIRE SPORT

Sports Spotlight . . .

There have been some wonderful players from this county who have achieved great things in their chosen sports and we are eager to let people know just what they have done. We start with Craig Moir, who attended school in Milford Haven and played for Wales in a variety of age groups before representing Scotland at senior level against the likes of Jonah Lomu and Rory Underwood.

We already have plans to talk to other stars over the forthcoming months and this has been made possible by the superb support provided by Heidi and Gareth Price-Jones at County Sports. They are stars in the supply of sporting equipment and we recommend sports people to pay them a visit whenever they need equipment or sports clothing.
