Description:
The recent Gŵyl Lên Llandeilo Lit Fest saw crowds return in record numbers to Llandeilo, in a literary bonanza for the Carmarthenshire town.<br/>With 1,350 tickets sold across three days, the annual event grew this year by two-thirds, drawing fans of the written and spoken word from across South and West Wales.<br/>Highlights included the festival's first dedicated children's event in the town’s newly refurbished Yr Hen Farchnad. Talks and workshops at Kids Fest at the Lit Fest were led by award-winning Wales-based children's authors like Children’s Laureate for Wales Alex Wharton and Jonny Duddle.<br/>Aardman Animations led popular model-making and animation workshops alongside an array of free creative activities for families.<br/>This year’s festival broke new ground by embarking on a schools’ programme that delivered writing, poetry, performance and illustration workshops for 320 children across five of Llandeilo's nearby primary schools.<br/>Dafydd Iwan, Kate Humble, John Devereux, Alun Ffred, Siôn Rowlands and an evening of urban myths and legends were the weekend's big crowd pleasers, with tales of hiraeth, sport, crime, politics and more.<br/>The festival's largest programme of Welsh-language sessions to date featured many of Wales' homegrown literary stars, including National Eisteddfod prize-winning poet Sioned Erin Hughes and writer and broadcaster Myfanwy Alexander.<br/>Gŵyl Lên Llandeilo Lit Fest founder and co-chair Christoph Fischer said: “It's just so brilliant to see Llandeilo's literature festival go from strength-to-strength as we draw more crowds to our small town each year. As well as hosting some of Wales' celebrated writers like Owen Sheers and Bethan Gwanas, we’re also seeing a growing appetite for discussions about civic issues that matter to people across our communities.”<br/>Gŵyl Lên Llandeilo Lit Fest is organised by volunteers, supported by Menter Dinefwr and funded by the Heart of Wales Line Community Grant Scheme and the Literature Wales’ Inspiring Communities Fund. The children’s programme received funding from Llandeilo Town Council, Carmarthenshire County Council’s Ten Towns Event Fund and the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund.<br/>

One such match was the 2002 West Indies vs India Test played in Antigua. Like the other three instances, this match also ended in a draw. However, this particular test was remarkable for a special reason. During the match, Anil Kumble broke his jaw when a delivery from Mervyn Dillon hit him. Despite being severely injured and spitting blood, Kumble batted for another 20 minutes before eventually being caught by Chanderpaul. Everyone expected him to go to the hospital. However, to everyone’s surprise, he came out to bowl with his face bandaged and bowled for 14 consecutive overs, eventually capturing the prized wicket of the West Indies legend, Brian Charles Lara.")
