The funeral took place at Pantdu Ceme- tery, Clkuiavon, on Thursday, with mili- tary honours, of Pto. ftees Lodwick, Arthur-street, Aberavon, who died on Sunday night shortly after arriving from the trenches. The Mayor and Corpora- tion, the RoYhl Defence Corps, an 1 the Town Band took part in the proceds'on. Wihile the band was playing in a mili- tary funeral on Thursday, a horse in charge of Frank Murohin, Cwmavon-road, Aberavon, took fright and ran into a motor oar belonging to H. Stone, Neath, doing slight damage. For the benefit of the Aberavon and Port Talbot and District Central Soldiers' and Sailors' Reception Fund, a Rugby match was played on the Central Recrea- tion Grounds, Port Talbot, on Saturday, when a team representing Aberavon and district entertaimed Llanelly. Weather being wet and bleak there was but a small crowd. In the first half Aberavon led the way, scoring one goal and four trices to nil. Tries, were socored by T. C. Lloyd. Bob Randell, Evan Davies, Mor- gan Lloyd and Owen Ilopkin, T. C. Lloyd converting the fourth try. In the second half Hopkins scored a try for Aberavon, and Jenkins for Llan- elly, and just before time was called Joe Davies dropped a goal for Llanelly.—Aber- avon, 1 goal, 5 tries (20 points); Llanelly, 1 dropped goal, 1 try (7 points). On Xm-as Day, in aid of the local R- ception Fund, there was another match at Aberavon, when the visitors were the 3rd Welsh (Ambulance Brigaed). There was a big crowd and a good game was witnessed. The 3rd Welsh are a splendid pack, fit to meot any team. Their backs were very clever and they had excep- tionally good forwards. Aboravon, except for a few open rushes, were outclassed. The result was a win for the 3rd Welsh by 12 points to 5.
