Llandovery RFC

In season 1980-81, Llandovery topped Section C of the West Wales League. In 1981-82 they consolidated their position in ”B”, and for the next eight years it was UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN - like a yo-yo; in divisions of ten clubs it was 4 up and 4 down!! It certainly made life interesting but not good for those with a “dicky ticker” !! 

However this brought us to the end of season 1989-90, in the favoured position of one of the top 5 clubs in Section A. The West Wales League being the strongest and largest league in Wales, it had been decided that 5 Clubs would be promoted to take part the following season in the Heineken Welsh League as it was then to be called. 

Thus Dunvant, Bonymaen, Kidwelly, Tumble and Llandovery moved up, with Llandovery finding itself in the fourth division of the Welsh National League (although it was then called division 3, since the top division was to be called the Premier Division!)
