Old Colwyn & Betws-yn-Rhos - Presidents Cup Semi-Final

News has just come through that well known Rhyl fan and volunteer Ian Johnson sadly passed away today following his fight with illness.

Most people will remember Ian as Rhyl's matchday announcer for many years and he also edited many matchday programmes for the first team and the reserves. Ian was a vice-president on the Welsh Alliance League and also did programmes for their cup finals. Ian will be sadly missed.

F.C. Nomads out of Clwyd Cup

F.C. Nomads of Connah's Quay have resigned from the Clwyd Cup, because they can no longer field a team. This throws a big question mark over their promotion and the future of the club.

The Clwyd League East Champions have struggled in recent weeks to field a full side, but despite this they have been provisionally accepted into the Welsh National League Division One, and are expected to resign from the Clwyd East Football League following confirmation of their promotion at the Liaison committee meeting in May.

The League had arranged for a presentation of the League Championship and Medals for the club on Tuesday, where they were due to meet Prestatyn Rovers in the first leg of their Clwyd Cup tie. Prestatyn Rovers will now receive a bye into the semi-finals.

Reserve Premier League
Conwy United vs GAP Connah's Quay - Match Postponed due to a Waterlogged Pitch

The Football Association of Wales are sad to announce the death of the national team manager Gary Speed.

We ask that everyone - especially the media - respects the family's privacy at this very sad time.

Gary was appointed one year ago and was given the brief to prepare the Wales senior squad for qualification to the FIFA 2014 World Cup in Brazil. During his year in charge, the results and performances in the final European Championship qualifiers and friendly games suggested that there were strong grounds for optimism that the team could challenge for a place in the finals in three years time.

As a player, Gary had an exemplary career. A versatile player who could feature in midfield as well as defence, he won 85 international caps over a period of fifteen years between 1990 – 2004 before retiring at the end of Mark Hughes’ time as manager. Many felt that he still had further international years in him, but he used the time to continue his club career, eventually making more than 750 first team appearances.

Born in Mancot in Flintshire, he was a star schoolboy player and was signed by Leeds United in 1988, making his debut as a nineteen year old. His eight-year stay at Elland Road saw the club win the First Division Championship in 1982 and he also featured in a League Cup Final defeat in 1996.

He then had a short spell of eighteen months with Everton after a £3.5m move, but it was with Newcastle United from 1998 onwards that he came-into his own as a senior player, with more than 200 Premier League appearances and becoming part of the side that reached FA Cup Finals in 1998 and 1999. The side managed by Bobby Robson and including Alan Shearer. It was one of the great sides from that famous club.

Gary’s final clubs were Bolton Wanderers (2004-08) and Sheffield United (2008-2010). He began to mix playing with coaching and when Kevin Blackwell was sacked as Sheffield United manager at the start of the 2010-11 season, Gary was appointed as his successor. However, after only a few months in the post, he was linked to the vacant Wales managerial position and given permission to talk to the FAW. This he did and was appointed to the post in December 2010.

All at the FAW admired Gary’s passion for the job and task of taking the team back up the European and World rankings. With the qualifying dates for the next World Cup group agreed only last week in Brussels, there was much to look-forward to over the next few years.

That this tragedy should have overtaken someone so young and talented is a huge loss not only for his family and friends but a nation as a whole.

FAW Chief Executive, Jonathan Ford said: ‘I, and all of the football family of Wales, am devastated by the news of Gary’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family at this difficult time.’

FAW President, Phil Pritchard added: ‘I am completely shocked by this terrible news and my thoughts are with his family. We will do whatever we can as an association to help them in this difficult time.’

All Clwyd League matches midweek and on Saturday will observe a minute silence before kick-off as a mark of respect for Gary Speed.

Caerwys FC Club Officials are pleased to announce that at long last funding has been obtained to finish work at the new pavilion. After being rejected by the Sports Lottery, Welsh FA, North Wales Coast FA and a lengthy application made to the Welsh Assembly Community Facilities Grant which took 7 months for a negative decision to be made, £24,600 has recently been approved by Cadwyn Clwyd of which the club has to provide 30% £7,380. This will mean raising approximately £4000 to reach the target which will hopefully be achieved by next May. Caerwys FC has already contributed almost £20,000 from fund-raising towards this project. Grants of £30,000 and £2,000 were initially received from Flintshire County Council and Caerwys Town Council.

Rhos United are looking for new players we train on Thurs 7:30 till 8:30 at Erias Park Astro pitch for more details contact the Manager Ben Wheeler on 07827483050.

Two extra cup competitions may be introduced later in the season, due to the small membership of each divisions.

The Various Divisions/Leagues are expected to be finalised in early March, providing the good weather continues and it is proposed that the top four clubs in the Vale of Clwyd/Conwy Premier Division will enter the Clwyd Cup with the top four teams in the Clwyd East Football League in a two legged knock out, each club playing their counter part from the other league, with a single match final.

The remaining clubs in the Various League's (Vale of Conwy/Clwyd East/Reserve Premier/Combination) should they require extra fixtures, will have the option of entering an Auxiliary cup, which would be on a mini league basis of four groups of four teams, with the top two from each group taking part in a knock out competition.

Meliden F.C. will be back at their refurbished Ffordd Tynewydd ground in time for Saturday's Barritt Cup tie against Llanberis.

The Ffordd Tynewydd field has been completely dug up and re-laid with a new playing surface. A perimeter barrier has been fitted all-round also new changing rooms complete with showers, toilets, tea room and separate match officials room.

Meliden who have been playing their home matches at nearby Dawson Drive for the past eighteen months, now look forward to using their new facilities, which pass at level three ground criteria in the Welsh Pyramid system.

North Wales Coast FA 2 North East Coast 0
The Coast under 18's pulled off an excellent result against strong favourites North East, with a hard working display at Colwyn Bay in the RAM inter-association trophy last night. Having gone to Central Wales and won earlier in the year this game would prove a bigger test with the East FA now having such a big selection area due to the boundary changes, indeed several of the East team played for the Coast side last year! East started really strongly and it looked like a long night was imminent as George Baxter and Jamie Hayes both had chances but the Coast began to settle and Denbighs Kristian Pierce and Caernarfons Alex Jones began to influence the game. Chances for both teams came in the first half with Dan Gibbon and Jamie Bristow for East, Jamie McDaid, Ben Hoult and Pierce for Coast however as we entered 1st half stoppage time, great work from Mcdaid saw Josh Davies meet his cross and power in a header to put Coast one up. The second half was a cagey affair with nether team being able to settle very well until from a corner in the 68th min, Coasts Alex Jones found himself at the edge of the East penalty area , took a touch inside a defender and passed to the ball into the corner of the net for 2.0. Chris Morrell's Coast team then took a firm grip on the game and with centre backs Tom Kemp and Llion Jones outstanding, more chances came for Mcdaid and Dean Seager but the scores remained that way until the finish to give the Coast a decent start with 6pts out of 6, though still a long way of the tournament to go.

Death of Llanrwst Utd Chairman

The League would like to pass on their condolences to the family of Phil Smith and Llanrwst United Football Club.

FAW Statement

The FAW has issued a statement to all Area Associations and Directly Affiliated Leagues in Wales regarding domestic fixtures, which are scheduled for Saturday, 12th November 2011 on the day of the recently arranged International fixture versus Norway at the Cardiff City Stadium.

The Football Association of Wales is delighted to announce that a Senior International Friendly match has been arranged against Norway on Saturday, 12th November 2011. This match will be played at the Cardiff City Stadium and kick-off will be at 3.00pm.

Due to the short notice in the announcement of this match, the FAW Council at a meeting held on 19th October 2011 ordered that the Regulations prohibiting all adult football fixtures on the day of a home international match shall not be enforced, on the condition that those clubs wishing to postpone their fixture on 12th November so that they may attend the international match, be permitted to do so by the organising League or Area Association without further sanction. Any such request must be made by the club to the organising League or Area Association at least 14 days prior to 12th November 2011.

GAP Connah's Quay once again lead the Reserve Premier League overtaking rivals Glan Conwy. Second half goals from Jamie Wynne and Jack Higgitt secured a hard fought win against Rhyl, now Glan Conwy need a victory in tomorrow's tough home game against Flint Town United to regain top spot.

An emphatic display for the visitors in last nights representative RAM trophy match ended with a comfortable win with the only complaint being it should have been more! (full report)

Please be advised that with immediate effect, any club wishing to register a player that requires international clearance (ITC) must send the players completed J3 Registration form (or a copy of it) to the FAW Registrations Department. The form may be sent either by post, email or fax.

Upon receipt of the ITC, the FAW will enter the player onto the registrations database in line with what has been submitted on the registration form to complete the registration process.

The reason for this change is an increased number of clubs applying for ITC and subsequently not signing the player on a J3 Registration form thus making the registration invalid.

I would appreciate it if you could relay this to your clubs as soon as possible as the Registration Department will now only be accepting completed J3 Registration forms as a means of requesting ITC.

Conwy United Reserves will be competing in the Clwyd Reserve Premier League this coming season against the likes of Rhyl, Prestatyn Town and Gap Connah's Quay - just to name a few of the high quality opposition that we will be facing.

Any interested players will be more than welcome, please contact Secretary Ethan Jones by phone on 07794 334769 or by e-mail at ethanjones@live.co.uk or contact Matt McCullagh on 07714 434504.

Rumours that Caerwys are folding have been put to bed, as Alex Vaughan has agreed to take charge of team affairs this season at Caerwys in the newly formed Clwyd League East Division. Vaughan had to step down last season due to work commitments but with nobody coming forward he was the first person to step forward to save the team from folding. Experienced ex-League of Wales veteran defender Jimmy Griffith has been in charge of training and will be there to help out along with veteran Steve Allsopp and Damien Evans. The team has a friendly at Denbigh Town Res on 4th August 7pm k.o. Anyone interested players can contact Alex on 07872037997 or email caerwysfc@aol.com

NWCFA Vacancy for GENERAL SECRETARY

North Wales Coast Football Association (NWCFA) has a vacancy for the post of
GENERAL SECRETARY.

If you are interested in the position please forward a letter of application together with a CV to: -

Ar gael / Available on July 5 2011.

Pris / Price £5.00 (rhadbost / post free).

Mae hanes diddorol i bêl-droed ym mhentref Y Borth (Ceredigion) sy'n dyddio o Ionawr 1873 pan chwaraewyd y gem gyntaf yno. Yn dilyn y Rhyfel Mawr bu nifer o dimau yn y pentref, ac yn 1934 ymunodd Borth United â Chynghrair Aberystwyth a'r Cylch - mae'r tîm yn parhau i chwarae yn yr un gynghrair, er y bu ambell fwlch yn y cyfamser. Chwaraewyd pêl-droed hefyd yn yr Ynys-las gyda'r Gunners yn cystadlu yn y gynghrair am ddau dymor cyn y Rhyfel, a bu timau'r gwersyll milwrol yn cystadlu yn erbyn gwersylloedd eraill de Meirionnydd yn ystod ac ar ôl yr Ail Ryfel Byd.

Mae'r llyfryn hwn yn rhoi hanes holl dimau'r Borth a'r Ynys-las ac yn cynnwys enwau a chyfeiriadau yr holl chwaraewyr, y mwyafrif ohonynt yn fechgyn Y Borth, ond rhai yn ogystal o drefi cyfagos fel Machynlleth ac Aberystwyth. Mae'r llyfryn hefyd yn cynnwys nifer o luniau a thablau'r gynghrair.

The history of football in Borth is fascinating, and dates from January 1873 when the first match was played in the village. During the period following the Great War teams known as the Borth Comrades and the Borth League of Nations represented the village. In 1934 Borth United registered as founder members of the Aberystwyth & District League, a league in which they continue to play, albeit with some periods of absence over the ensuing period. Football was also played at Ynys-las, where The Gunners featured in the local league for two seasons prior to the second world war. During and after the war the Ynys-las camp also fielded two teams which played friendlies against other camps, mainly in south Merionnydd.

The footballers of Borth & Ynys-las, 1873-1950, (ISBN: 978-1-84771-396-4), a booklet of 24 pages, contains a brief history of these various teams together with a list of the names and addresses of almost 200 individuals who played for Borth and Ynys-las teams. Most were Borth boys but many also came from Aberystywth and Machynlleth and surrounding villages. The booklet also includes many photographs, and league tables.

There will be a new man at the helm of the Prestatyn Town reserve team next season after Mark Boulton moves 'upstairs' as chief scout for the club.

Taking over is Chris Morrell who is currently boss of the NWCFA representative side and has previously been in charge at Rhuddlan Town and more recently part of the management set-up at Conwy United.

Chris was of course a long-serving player at Bastion Gardens, joining Prestatyn when he was 16 and going on to the skipper the side to many trophies.

With Bolly taking on a scouting role, Chris will be assisted by Andy Wilmot with Dave McSween having a hand in both the reserves and the new domestic licence-compliant under-19 team.

The Liaison committee of the Welsh Alliance, Clwyd and Gwynedd League's confirmed the promotion of Abergele Rovers and Glantraeth into the Welsh Alliance for season 2011/12. It was also confirmed that Rhydymywn were to be relegated from the Cymru Alliance League into the Welsh National League and not to the Welsh Alliance, due to the change in league and area boundary's.

The new Denbighshire/Conwy League will have a Premier Division consisting of sixteen clubs with promotion into the Welsh Alliance League.

GAP will now play Prestatyn Town in the Final on Sunday at Bastion Gardens.

NWCFA Regions Cup Triumph!

Central Wales FA 1 North Wales Coast FA 6 - Regions Cup 1st leg
A 3 hour coach trip was all worthwhile as Coast turned on the style in the away leg of the regions cup at Penrhyncoch Weds night. The sheer hard work, pace and power of Chris Morrell's coast team proved the difference at a difficult place to go. The game actually began with two great saves from Coast keeper Gary Higham as Central started brightly however after 14 mins the clinical Darren Hughes was through on goal and chipped the home keeper to settle the nerves. From then on Coast created chance after chance and on 20 mins the prolific Duncan Midgley finished after good work from Andreas Alvarado. Central pushed hard to get back in the game but on 45 mins came a killer blow when Midgley went clean through to finish in style and make the half time score comfortable. The expected second half onslaught from Central didn't materialise and after excellent work from Michael Jones down the right, Hughes got his second to keep up with Midgeley. A strike from the edge of the box gave Central some hope but that was ended on 72 minutes when Midgley was brought down for a pen which he smashed home for his hat-trick. Substitute Martin Halewood then completed the scoring on 74mins to send Coast home happy. With Danny Abbott and John Atherton marshalling the defence admirably this was a display to be proud of all round but with the home 2nd leg to come nothing is taken for granted.

Llandudno Junction FC and Jon Stazicker have parted company. The club are keen to fill the resulting vacancy as soon as possible and would welcome applications from interested persons by June 1st.
Assistance with coaching qualifications may be given to the successful applicant.
Expressions of interest can be made to club chairman Simon Wright on 07867 527303 or by e mail to junctionfc@tiscali.co.uk

Abergele Rovers complete Treble

Abergele Rovers completed the Clwyd League Treble for the second season running, but had Goalkeeper Ryan Woods to thank, for saving an 83rd minute penalty, which would have put Prestatyn Rovers 2-0 up and surely their would have been no way back.

Colin Sargentson gave the First Division side the lead after only five minutes with a glancing header from a free kick, this was held until just after Rob Hughes penalty miss, when Gaz Walsh was shown a red card for kicking out at an Abergele player.

Abergele spurred on by the penalty miss and with the extra man advantage equalised through Andreas Advardo on 86 minutes and with extra time looming James Hay snatched a late winner for the Premier Champions.

F.C. Nomads Double Winners

F.C. Nomads of Connah's Quay - EVADX REM Jones Cup Winners

Last night FC Nomads lifted the League Cup against Abergele Dragons at Prestatyn Town after a tense affair was decided on penalties.

Despite the previous history this season between the clubs with FC Nomads winning 4-2 away and 3-1 at home in the league games Abergele Dragons gave FC Nomads a huge test in this cup final.

FC Nomads got the start they wanted when Gary Jones gave them the lead after just 4 minutes. The first half hour saw FC Nomads in the ascendency but they couldn't add to their tally with a number of near misses. The final 15 minutes of the first half saw Abergele Dragons come more into the game as they looked dangerous on the break. The second half started brightly for Abergele as they looked more likely to score, FC Nomads seemed to sit back and looked content with trying to hold onto a 1-0 win, however we all know that its a dangerous game to play. Abergele pushed FC Nomads back and for a good half hour the only attacking from FC Nomads came in the form of breaks. As the game drew to a close Abergele looked like they would run out of time until their hard work paid off in the 86th minute when a corner wasn't dealt with and Sion Morris headed the ball home to send the Abergele supporters into rapture (there was a fair few of them making themselves heard).

Lee Molyneux had one final chance before the full time whistle to win the game in normal time but put the ball wide of the post when one on one with the keeper. The ref blew the final whistle and signalled an extra half an hours play.

Extra time was pretty devoid of chances as both teams played defensively. Very few chances came along and no team was able to take advantage and win the game outright. So it was to penalties.

FC Nomads scored the first penalty (always an important thing to do in a shoot out), then Abergele stepped up and Craig Williams in goal for Nomads pulled off a magnificent save to give FC Nomads a one goal lead after the first round of penalties. FC Nomads again scored with their second effort then came the laughable moment of the night when an Abergele player decided to try and be smart and dink the ball over Craig Williams, only to fluff the attempt and the ball weakly went wide of the goal in slow motion (I won't embarrass the player so no names). FC Nomads scored their 3rd to make it 3-0 and set up a chance to win it if Abergele missed or Craig Williams saved it. Up stepped the Abergele player who took a perfect penalty but was thwarted by the outstanding Craig Williams who became the hero of the night when he pulled off another magnificent save to give FC Nomads the cup.

Abergele deserve great credit for a good positive performance on the night and they were unfortunate to loose on penalties. However someone wins and someone looses on penalties and although its a kind of lottery there is the skill of holding your nerve.

FC Nomads can be proud of winning their 2nd double in two seasons. A huge achievement by a great team who will go on from here and continue to rise through the leagues. They host Rhyl on Saturday in the final league game and are looking to take their unbeaten run to 44 games in two seasons. That is no defeat in any league game.....ever.

Well done to Dave Johnson and the lads for another great season, you've done the town of Connah’s Quay proud.

Point of Ayr win Junior Cup

Point of Ayr became the first Clwyd League side to win the NWCFA Junior Cup since Castle Rhuddlan in 2003. The colliers needed extra time to eventually overcome Trearddur Bay 6-4 after the sides were locked at 4-4 in full time. Asa Thomas continued his remarkable scoring spree, bagging all four goals for Trearddur Bay, but unluckily finishing on the losing side.

Holywell Town followed up their FAW Trophy triumph, by becoming the first club to win the Clwyd Reserve Division, they clinched the title with a 4-3 home win over Abergele Dragons. Flint Town United Youth and Shotton Steel fight it out for second place next Saturday. Holywell will be presented following Tuesday's cup tie will Prestatyn.

F.C. Nomads came back from an early two goal set back to maintain their 100% league record and will be presented with the Championship Cup before Tuesday's match against Prestatyn Rovers, which will be played at Deeside Leisure centre. Prestatyn Rovers have to win their two remaining games and hope that F.C. Nomads beat Point of Ayr to claim the runners up position.

All the Premier Division fixtures have been completed, with Abergele Rovers ending on a winning note at St. Asaph, Meliden missed out on third place after losing at home to Brynford. Abergele Rovers await a final ground inspection from Welsh Alliance League official(s) in order to secure promotion.

Halkyn Cup

Prestatyn Rovers require a reserve team manager for the 2011/2012 season to start building his team as soon as possible applications in by end of may for interviews . please apply to secretary Chris Tilley on 07702169530 or manager Steve on 07714271788 or via email stevethfc@hotmail.co.uk or ctilley2000@yahoo.co.uk .
