Micky's Pembrokeshire
Unsung Heroes . . .
|
 |
Sport in Pembrokeshire owes so much to its unsung heroes, those who do background jobs for no reward other than the satisfaction of being involved and without grumbling or boasting about what they do.
Jewson have agreed to sponsor our ‘Unsung Heroes’ section and they fall into that category since they quietly supply the building trade without fuss, with Rob Cockburn involved locally and a man who has served St Ishmaels sport so well in both football and cricket. Keep up the good work, boys!
