There is a great deal of good humour in the county’s sporting fraternity and the aim is to laugh with, and not at, some of the characters who make local sport what it is. If you know someone has gone to the wrong ground, or forgotten kit or anything humorous then let us know – as long as the person involved has a sense of humour! |
Kevin Thomas has recently moved back to Pembrokeshire and has brought with him his exciting range of sports equipment at www.thomassports.com – and we are delighted he has agreed to come on board with us at PembrokeshireSport.co.uk. He played rugby at centre for Llangwm Youth and the Pembrokeshire Youth teams and also had a season with Haverfordwest before his work as a PTI in the Royal Air Force took him away. He represented the RAF and captained the Combined Services under 21 team – but is now delighted to be back in Pembrokeshire with wife Karen and their sons, George and Henry.
Kevin told us, “At Thomas Sports we have supplied sports equipment and clothing to schools, universities, local authorities, clubs, prisons and the armed forces at contract prices for the past 12 years. More recently we have opened up a huge range of top quality products to the general public, via our web-site, and have been able to maintain our trade prices. “Our first aim with the new web site is to attract as many customers as possible to sign up for our free monthly newsletter full of offers and new products. “We cover over 70 different sports and have 13,000+ products to purchase from our website www.thomassports.com or for prices and advice you can contact us on 0800 0181227. Large customers, like schools or clubs, are very welcome to have a copy of our 400+ page brochure which is updated annually. “On top of the equipment for sale on the web we also supply sports kits and training wear, and we are main distributors for Nike, Puma, Prostar, Samurai, Hummel, Stanno and Zotti, so just give us a call with your needs and we offer the best prices on the market. “As a local lad I am also interested in helping out any budding young sports stars in the county, so if you know of someone who is very promising in a particular sport and needs equipment or help to get to the next level then give me a call.” |
