Fair play - that's a great gesture.
Not jumping on the bandwagon, but it does feel like the powers that be are paying attention. Grass roots don't want a lot - just simple things like this go a long way
@Owenins
Every Gwent produced player who resigns for the region will be given £500 to give back to a club/school who has helped develop them. Lovely gesture... imho
