An excellent article on the League of Wales Weightwatchers. Though living in Lancashire I watch the WPL a lot, and I agree with you that John Dunt is an excellent ‘keeper. I saw Mumford playing for Llanelli at Cefn Druids the other season and he was the best player on the field. I personally enjoy watching WPL football as much as any league and think the standards are much underrated. I’ve seen Bangor a few times this season play some outstanding football and TNS are a joy to watch at times. Keep up the great work with your website, best wishes, Mike

I read Welsh Dragons over the weekend whilst travelling to Prague and it was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
Being from Aberkenfig, my favourite bit was obviously the story about Giggs and Pembridge heading to Welshbreakers to rent out a few flms the night before the Germany game (the win in ’91?) I wonder what they took out?
See you in Scotland – keep the faith!
