Builth Wells RFC gathered at Strand Hall for its annual presentation evening.

Coach Ben Pugh highlighted what a strong season the Bulls had, pushing for promotion right until the final game, and made it clear the club will keep driving forward heading into the new season.

Hosted by master of ceremonies Ted Davies, who kept the evening flowing perfectly, the event featured a special farewell for Davies and Luke Morgan as they officially retired from the game.
