Jim McConnon was another star of the victory over the 1951 Springboks and the tall off-spinner subsequently won a place in the England side. Gilbert Parkhouse also progressed from the county side into the Test team, whilst Allan Watkins continued to be chosen for the English side and provide yeoman service as a senior professional on overseas tours. The 1971/72 season saw, for the first time, the introduction of trophies which were to be presented to players who over a season had shown excellence to Wanderers rugby. The two trophies are known as the President’s Cup and the Players’ Trophy. The Wanderers were delighted in December, 1964 to play host to the University of Toronto who were on a British Tour. In fact, this was the first time in the Club's existence that a fixture had been arranged with a foreign team. The University sides' tour included matches against, Sidcup, Edinburgh Wanderers, Jordanhill F.P., a combined Tonyrefail/Gilfach Goch side and the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. At this time, the Wanderers had a useful bowls team, under the guidance of Ken John, and although to date, the Club's honours were restricted to achievements by its players on the rugby field, the selection of Club member Mr. Hugh Andrews to the Welsh Bowls Team in 1960 was greeted with immense pride.

These Trophies are presented annually at the Captain's Dinner which normally takes place in the month ofJune. This follows the deliberations of the Club's own "Big 5" who also select the playing officials whose appointments are announced at the same dinner. The "Big 5" meet behind closed doors, and their selections cause great interest in the Club. Of course, each member of the "Big 5" is sworn to secrecy and the announcements of their deliberations is akin to the sighting of the white smoke over the Vatican when a new Pope is appointed. So ends the story of the Club's first 30 years. A period which witnessed many changes and achievements, and a period for which every Wanderer can justifiably feel immense pride. Whilst many clubs are celebrating their centenary seasons, the Wanderers' first 30 years certainly have a story to tell. What of the next 30 years?Notable achievements continued on the field of play with the Club taking the two year ground record of Bridgend Sports Club in December 1955. Further honours were bestowed on four more of the Club's players in 1955/56 season when Ieuan Jones and Howell Morgan were selected to tour South Africa by the Welsh Secondary Schools Rugby Union, FI.Off. Ian McPherson who was serving at the R.A.F. Camp was selected for the Scottish Rugby Union trial matches and K. Pullham was selected for the Welsh Youth trials. Alan Prosser Harries; Meredith Evans; Howard Rees; Graham Morse; Howell Davies; Ellis Griffiths; Handel Greville; Howard (Ash) Davies; Robin Williams; Lionel Thomas; Graham Tobias; David Griffiths; John Rowlands; H. D. Williams and D. H. Williams. Among the forwards was a young aspiring prop forward in Howard (Ash) Davies who was destined to captain the town's premier club. The match resulted in victory for the Wanderers by 5-11. The match was reported by the South Wales Evening Post as follows: The Wanderers held what turned out to be their last Triennial Dinner at the Station Road Clubhouse in November, 1980, when the chief guests were Terry O'Connor and Ray Williams. For, with the lease on the Club's Station Road property due to expire in 1982, the Committee investigated various properties in the Llanelli area with a view to finding a new headquarters.

The official opening was performed on the 2nd April, 1962 by Danny E. Davies, the then President of the Welsh Rugby Union. Following the ceremony, the spotlight switched to Stradey Park where a Wanderers XV played an International XV. It was an enjoyable occasion, and no one did better than that "grand old man" of Welsh rugby, Rees Stephens. The Wanderers XV still recall with pride, that thrilling and enjoyable game. The teams were as follows: The first meeting of the Llanelly Wanderers Rugby Football Club was called to be held on 7th March, 1951 at the Prince of Wales Inn, Hall Street, where there were 10 members present. At that meeting, the following officials were appointed:So popular did the Wanderers tourists of 1958 prove to be, that Dublin was again the destination of the Club's tour in 1960. The Club was invited there as the guests of Glantarf R.F.C., but there is no record of a radio broadcast this time!

The tale is told of a Club member who had been admitted as a patient to Morriston Hospital. He had obviously been missing the hospitality and comforts of the Wanderers so he invited the choir to visit his Ward at the Hospital, without, it should be said, the prior approval of the Hospital Authorities. Arrangements were well in hand but the invitation was not fulfilled as there was "some doubt as to whether the Glee Section would be admitted". The Wanderers maintained their record of being unbeaten on the Continent when in April 1980 they embarked on a tour of Brittany. The accommodation was good, the French wine was fine, the only thing missing was opposition! The organising company had, somehow, got its wires crossed and the touring party returned with their playing kit clean! While playing for Carmarthen Quins, he was capped for Wales Youth and was then spotted by Welsh giants, Llanelli. The Wanderers continued to play open attractive rugby and were gaining the respect of other rugby clubs to such an extent that they were invited to play against Furnace in September 1957 to open Furnace's ground.Season 1968/69 was certainly a memorable one for Wynne Davies. Having been appointed as captain for the 'A' XV, he became the 'A' XV highest scorer with 48 pts. from a total of 16 tries. In his appearances with the 1 st XV, he had scored a further 7 tries which meant that the record of 22 tries established in 60/61 by Roger Evans, had at last been broken. Wynne's total of23 tries is a record which stands to this day. Here again, it is worthy of note that the try scoring record was broken by yet another wing threequarter. Wynne continued to distinguish himself when, along with scrum half Lincoln Law, he represented the Llanelli and District Junior Union in their cup winning side. This augured well for the 1980/81 season when the 'A' XV became champions of their section. This was a particularly pleasing achievement to the Wanderers in that in only their second season in a league system, not only was the championship won by the 'A' XV but they also won the Doreen Rogers Cup. This is awarded to the team who accumulate the highest total of points during the league season. The enterprising Wanderers again proved their versatility in other sports by involving themselves in ten pin bowling. Honours continued to grace the Wanderers when three of its members represented the Royal Navy in the same match. They were Hywel Griffiths, Alan Harries and Hugh Prosser Jones. This memorable event occurred in the 1952/53 season and the Club proudly boasts this event as being a record for a second class club.
