I was at the game at Buckley Town on Tuesday and I still don’t know how we didn’t get anything from the game. A lack of concentration at the back after our equaliser cost us in the end and it leaves us with work to do over the next couple of weeks to try and catch up with the leading pack in the league. Porthmadog, although haven’t had the best starts to the season, will be a tough task once again, they picked up their first point on Tuesday against Llangefni and will no doubt be looking to go one better against us, but we must go out there and want it more. A trip to Bangor City follows next weekend, hopefully we can get another group of supporters going like against Colwyn Bay, and hopefully with three points from today’s game too. Enjoy the game and keep supporting the lads throughout. Geraint Roberts, Head of Media IT’S ALL ABOUT WINNING!

The club was formed for the purpose of providing activity for cricketers during their close season. SA full international Wales v Ireland was played on the “council field” in 1988. Llandudno were founder members of the Welsh National League (North) in 1921 and were champions in 1923 and League Cup winners in 1930. The club won the N.W.C.F.A in 1926 and the North Wales Amateur Cup in 1929. Controversy struck the club in 1931 when the F.A.W instructed them to play East Wales, which Llandudno refused and were suspended. Llandudno were also founder members of the Welsh League (North) in 1935 and remained in the league until war broke out in 1939 and then re-joined in 1945 up until 1974. Llandudno were league champions in 1936 and repeated the feat the following season, in addition the club regained the North Wales Amateur Cup in 1948 and 1962, the Alves Cup in 1951 and the Cookson Cup in 1965. The club moved to its current home at Maesdu Park in 1991 after the “council field” was used for the construction of the ASDA store in the late 1970’s, now the new Parc MBi Maesdu. The current ground was officially opened in 1991 and floodlights were added in 1994. The following season saw the erection of a clubhouse and two small stands which provides covered seating for 130 spectators. The club has then went under major transitions, with the addition of a new press box, built by local lad Cyril “Ciz” Williams who tragically died while construction was ongoing, and it is surely a testament that such a great number of friends were determined to finish his work and the building stands as a fitting memorial to this wonderful man. In the 2004/05 season the current dressing rooms were built, and the grandstands with disabled access. In the 2014/15 season major developments continued with the addition of a brand new entrance foyer, fitted with an educational suite, and a state of the art 3G pitch alongside the introduction of a thriving community arm, and for the first time in the clubs history Llandudno Football Club earned promotion into the Welsh Premier League. The club then reached an agreement with sportswear giants Adidas to be their official kitwear supplier until at least 2017, along with major kit sponsors from W.R. Davies Renault and the UPVC Outlet. The good news didn’t stop there as more redevelopments took place around the ground with the introduc- tion of a brand new TV gantry and 75 seater stand. At the end of the 2015/16 season, and in Llandudno’s debut year in the top tier of Welsh football, we gained automatic promotion to the Europa League after a third placed finish. Llandudno had earned themselves a tie against two time European Cup Winners IFK Goteborg in the first qualifying round, on- ly to be outmuscled 7-1 on aggregate, with Danny Hughes the name in history scoring for his hometown club. An experience the club and the town were extremely proud of, and one that will never be forgotten as we look to replicate it year upon year. All this wouldn’t be possible without the support and the dedication from our tirelessly working volun- teers, and so here you find us as one club, one community.

Today is really about us getting our season back on track. The last three results have been both disappointing and tough to take, however the performances have provided plenty of positives. The aim for us as a group now is to capitalise on the positives and turn good performances into results. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Porthmadog. Port are also a side who will be looking for a positive result having showed a lot of improvements as the season has developed. We are fully aware of the threats they possess, and are prepared for what they will throw at us. Our focus though is on us and ensuring we do what we have been doing and take the game to Port and showcase the immense talent we have got within our group. The players and staff are working extremely hard to ensure we end this run we are on with a win and that will once again be the aim this afternoon. Matthew Jones, 1st Team Manager LLANDUDNO FC MATCH REPORT OFFICIAL MATCHDAY PROGRAMME LLANDUDNO VS CONWY BOROUGH Matchday 5 JD Cymru North Saturday 7th of September, 2019 Maesdu Park, Llandudno RESULT: Llandudno 0-1 Conwy Borough OWN GOAL GIFTS BOROUGH THE WIN IN DERBY A missed penalty and an own goal meant Conwy Borough went home with all three points despite Llandudno dominating the majority of the game. Conwy Borough had the first chance of the match when Corrig McGonigle forced a save from Shaun Pearson early on, but Llandudno applied most of the pressure with Dean Seager being the main threat in front of their goal. Aaron Pomeyie put in a brilliant cross for Dean Seager to head home but unluckily, it went just wide of the tar- get. The halt-time whistle blew and Llandudno knew that all three points were there for the taken, and they thought they had their time to go ahead when they were awarded a penalty on the 63rd minute of the game. Alfons Fosu-Mensah stepped up but it was really well saved by the Conwy goalkeeper to keep the game all square. Bryan Roberts, Joe Carey and Robbie Parry all came on to try and get a winner, with Parry going the closest of all when his effort went just wide. But against all the odds, it was Conwy Borough who got the luck when Anthony Marshall, who looked very solid at the back during the game, mis-kicked the ball beyond Shaun Pearson who was left helpless in goal. LLANDUDNO FC MATCH REPORT OFFICIAL MATCHDAY PROGRAMME BUCKLEY TOWN VS LLANDUDNO Matchday 6 JD Cymru North Tuesday, 10th September 2019 Globe Way, Buckley. RESULT: Buckley 2-1 Llandudno Llandudno failed to take anything away from the game at Buckley despite an equaliser from Dean Seager’s pen- alty in the second half. Despite having the better of the first 25 minutes through chances for Seager and Alfons Fosu-Mensah, it was Buckley who went ahead in the first half through a Callum Humphries header. The fast paced start to the game was instantly slowed down after Buckley took the lead, with neither side able to create any clear cut chances. The second half started similar to how the first ended, but the introduction of Robbie Parry on the 57th minute instantly changed that. Parry’s skilful run on the right hand side of the pitch jinxed his way past defenders, and eventually won his side a penalty.
