-being played is fantastic.

-There are people of varying

-standards.

-The oldest player is 85.

-He's just scored a try!

-Malcolm Jones and I have come down

-from Caernarfon.

-We've had Cardiff girls on our team

-and they're superb.

-Caryl has already scored a try in

-the second half.

-It's supposed to be fun so I've made

-up a Welsh Hakka.

-It goes "Come on then, come on

-then, ready".

-Everyone clearly had fun on the

-rugby field.

-Today saw an attempt to break the

-Guinness World Record...

-..for the largest number of people

-in a scrum.

-We're looking forward and have

-brought the family along.

-It could take a while as they're

-expecting 1,500 people.

-It's going to be quite an

-experience.

-The best referee in the world, Nigel

-Owens was trying to control things.

-I think the current record is 1,198

-so we need 1,199 to beat it.

-There are lots of people here so

-we'll soon find out how we've done.

-I hope this scrum is easier to

-referee than most!

-People have made the effort to come

-over and the Golden Oldies...

-..have been here all week.

-They're from all over the world so

-it would good to beat the record.

-It would be great for everyone

-who's travelled to be here.

-They can go home and tell people

-they're record-breakers.

-We've just tried to beat the record

-We're just waiting for the result.

-It was amazing standing next to men

-from Japan, Russia and England.

-We're all here for the same reason.

-People were itching to hear if the

-record has been broken.

-1,297 is a new Guinness World

-They deserve it.

-to the Golden Oldies.

-My studio guest this evening

-is Gareth Williams...

-..the coach of the

-British rugby sevens team.

-They defended well in the heats and

-did incredibly well.

-How did you get into coaching them?

-We were interviewed and I was

-offered the position.

-I'm the assistant coach.

-This was the first time rugby sevens

-has bene played there.

-They're fast games and over very

-quickly.

-It's fitted in well to the schedule.

-It was very popular.

-I do enjoy travelling around the

-world.

-It's a privileged job.

-We had to focus on the job.

-It's a busy season.

-Rugby sevens is flourishing.

-We work well with regions to develop

-players.

-That's challenging to keep progress

-going.

-We are hoping for more investment.

-It's a great way to put Wales on the

-map.

-We are very proud of what the team

-achieved.

-Thank you, Gareth.

-It's a busy time for farmers with

-the haymaking and making silage.

-Many of us have seen the farmers

-hard at work in their machinery...

-..but one farm in Eglwyswrw doesn't

-only use machinery and people.

-Heledd went to find out more.

-It's time for farmers to prepare

-the winter food for their animals.

-In the summer, the cut the hay

-and turn it so that it dries...

-..before forming rows

-and collecting it.

-And yes, you need a lot

-of horse power to do all this!

-Tractors and machinery have replaced

-the shire horses for this work.

-They are quicker, more powerful

-and more economical.

-That's why we lost the shire horses

-after World War II.

-In 1961, Dat-cu turned the hay

-using shire horses.

-He used them in 1962, 15 years after

-we had a Fordson Major in 1947.

-It was one of the only local farms

-that stuck to using shire horses.

-In 1994, they diversified and opened

-as the Dyfed Shire Horse Farm.

-Dat-cu died in 1991 and we wanted to

-retain his custom of using horses.

-We had to develop to raise the extra

-money to keep the shire horses.

-People can visit

-this traditional and working farm...

-..and take part

-in various activities.

-We're the eighth generation since

-the Lewis' first came here in 1849.

-Trystan is studying mechanical

-engineering in Swansea University.

-His first time of turning the hay

-with a horse is a baptism of fire!

-It was a shock to the system

-but it was alright.

-The horse wants to stop and eat

-as it needs to take a break too.

-It's important to stay in a straight

-line or you don't turn all the hay.

-People of all ages have come to

-reminisce or learn about the custom.

-When I was a boy,

-we had to cut the hay using a mare.

-We didn't have tractors

-in those days.

-We'd cut the hay, turn, rake

-and load it onto the hay-cart.

-It was a wonderful time.

-Where are you from?

-Where are you from?

-

-Bala.

-Where are you staying?

-Where are you staying?

-

-Haverfordwest.

-What have you been doing today?

-What have you been doing today?

-

-We've seen the horses and llamas.

-What's your favourite?

-What's your favourite?

-

-The horse.

-There's daily exhibitions

-on the farm and a whole lot more.

-There's a ball pool, bouncy castle,

-trampoline and sand pit.

-Parents can enjoy a cuppa in

-the cafe whilst the children play.

-There's plenty to do and if you ask

-nicely you could have a go yourself.

-Oh, I probably need more experience!

-It's great to see that custom

-being retained in Eglwyswrw.

-After the break,

-Daf Wyn chats with Gwenno Dafydd...

-..about the book she launched

-at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

-We also visit the Llanelli Wetland

-Centre to hear of a new activity.

-It's called the canoe safari.

-and I'll see you in a few minutes.
