Not only is he our oldest Old Breconian but Major John Evans (DB, 34-40) was also Captain of the side that drew 3- 3 with Llandovery after a period 16 years since CCB had won. By coincidence the game the following year was also a 3-3 draw.

After a lifetime in the army he is certainly the fittest looking 99 year old I have ever met...
