New Zealand-born Llewellyn Evans played in goal for the East in the 1907 match against the West, organized by the North Wales Hockey Association. He joined the Rhyl Hockey Club the following year when he was selected by the Welsh team for the London Olympics. He won a bronze medal despite losing the semi-final 3-1 against Ireland at the White City. Evans played at full-back in that game, with Cardiff’s Bertrand Turnbull taking up the position between the posts.
After farming in New Zealand, Evans came to Britain in 1902 and was involved in brick manufacturing in the Rhyl area. He spent nine years as an Urban District councillor, including a one-year term as chairman. Evans also spent eight years on the St. Asaph Board of Guardians, and was also a Justice of the Peace (JP). He married his wife Sarah at St. Asaph in 1904 before returning to New Zealand in 1912 where he managed flour mills. Lewis also once again got involved in local council and other civic activities.
