In this photo print, we witness the moment when victory celebrations have subsided, and Llanelli skipper Delme Thomas steals a precious moment to reflect on the historic night that saw his team triumph over the mighty All Blacks. With an air of pride and nostalgia, he casts a quick glance at the Western Mails account of that unforgettable evening. The image transports us back to 1st November 1972, where Delme Thomas resumes his duties as an electricity board linesman in Llanfihangel-ar-arth, Carmarthenshire. Despite being immersed in his everyday work routine, it is evident that memories of that remarkable rugby match linger within him. As he holds onto the newspaper with care and reverence, one can only imagine the emotions flooding through his mind - reminiscing about leading his team to victory against New Zealand's finest players. The photograph encapsulates not just a sporting achievement but also represents Welsh pride and resilience. This snapshot from the 1970s captures a significant moment in Welsh rugby history when Llanelli RFC defied all odds and emerged victorious against their formidable opponents. It serves as a reminder of how sport has the power to unite communities and ignite national spirit. Memory Lane Prints presents this evocative image from Western Mail Archive for our enjoyment today – allowing us to relive those extraordinary moments etched forever in Wales' sporting legacy.
