Dawsons supporting the UK Food Banks in June 2019

Pughy 9s Rugby sponsored by Dawsons

What is The Pughy 9s?

The Pughy 9s started Bank Holiday Weekend 2017 after the untimely death of the popular young player, Tom Pugh. Now in its 3rd year, this touch rugby tournament has continued to grow in popularity, attracting some 20 teams to take part! 

Pughy 9s Rugby sponsored by DawsonsRaising money for charities in Tom’s memory the tournament is well supported by Swansea Uplands RFC (who organise and run it), local people and businesses alike. Dawsons have sponsored a pitch for all 3 years, as well as Killay Office sponsoring a ball at this year’s tournament. 

Killay Branch Manager (and all-around living legend) David ‘Dai’ Parton, who represented the club and played with Tom, has played as part of the “Vets” team for all 3 tournaments. Each year they have managed to progress to the Quarter Finals of the Cup. It was the same again this year at which stage they were knocked out 3-1 against a strong Gower Rangers Team.

A Cup and Shield competition are run after the first rounds of Pool matches. This year Penclawdd came out on top of the Shield and Uplands Youth won the Cup.

Some tales of the day at the fore amongst the Vets, that’s for sure and as the evening wears on teammates, friends and family let off balloons in Toms memory. Always a poignant moment and a chance to reflect and think about a top man!

Swansea Pride 2019: Pride Hits The Dancefloor

Dawsons sponsored the glitterball trophy in the dance competition at the Brangwyn Hall which took place last night 2nd May 2019.

Dawsons very own Leon Atolagbe of the Marina Lettings team competed with his good friend Lee Heaven.  Leon is a DJ by night and Letting agent by day and when he heard about the competition he was keen to get involved.

“Deciding to take part in this great activity was an easy decision. I believe strongly in diversity and equality. Coming from a mixed-race background myself, I know understand the importance of highlighting differences. I keen to get working on perfecting our routine and music, along with getting into the spirit of all that pride has to offer.”

The competition was full of glitz and glamour and saw some famous Swansea faces in the audience, including ex-EastEnders Cindy Beale, Michelle Collins.

Leon and Lee were choreographed by Olivia of Olivia’s Rhythmic Gymnastics club and they had a brilliant routine, but sadly, the Glitter Ball went to competitors Keith & Peter.
