United Aberystwyth Flint Town TOWN Versus UNITED ABERYSTWYTH FLINT TOWN Saturday 8th May 2021 OFFICIAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME SEASON 2020/21 DIGITAL EDITION SPECIAL EDITION DEDICATED TO FAW FAIR PLAY DAY Flint Town United endorses the FAW Respect Campaign PLEASE SHOW RESPECT TO ALL OFFICIALS, STAFF & PLAYERS WELCOME TO THE A warm welcome to the players and officials of Aberystwyth Town, for their second visit of the season ESSITY STADIUM to the Essity Stadium. The first occasion was our last game before the most recent lockdown kicked in, and it was also the live game on Sgorio. We came out 3-0 winners, so a similar result to that would be much appreciated, especially given the incentive for a win today is that we would be guaranteed to finish above the bottom two, which has been our objective all season, despite the fact that there is no relegation. Today is our final home game, and I’m sure I speak for all those involved in the running of the club, when I say we shall all be glad of the break, after what has been a very challenging and arduous season. In reality, of course, work continues to go on behind the scenes, but at least the pressure of preparing for match days is lifted, especially during these strange and difficult times of coping with the various Covid protocols on top of everything else. I took on the role of Covid Officer after the latest return to play, and can safely say it’s an unwanted but necessary task, and one that I hope will soon become redundant, fingers crossed. I have had to adopt the approach of what I like to think as a benevolent dictator in carrying out the role, although others may beg to differ !! If things keep heading in the right direction, then hopefully we shall soon look forward to welcoming spectators back for the next season, albeit in some sort of limited capacity to probably start off with. It would be great for some of our supporters to finally get to witness first hand the team participating in the Cymru Premier. Our form since Phase 2 has been really encouraging and bodes well for next season, as manager Neil Gibson looks to continue to put his plans into action. Last weekend saw the annual FAW ‘Fair Play Day’ in partnership with Nationwide Building Society for the JD Cymru Premier and The Orchard Welsh Premier Women’s League clubs on Friday, 30th April 2021, Saturday, 1st May 2021 & Sunday 2nd May 2021. We dedicate today’s programme to the FAW Fair Play campaign, and the cover photograph shows the two captains exchanging Fair Play pennants ahead of last week’s game. Come on the Silkmen !!

Both clubs have had a mixed time of it overall since the season started although to be fair to ourselves we have come on strong more recently. The win on Tuesday was satisfying, although it is no exaggeration to say we could easily have been into double figures, the chances missed in the first half were frustrating, however it was very pleasing to see the number of chances we created. The shine of victory was tarnished by what looked like a muscular injury to Jake Hampson. This is a real shame as he has developed into a major asset in a short space of time. A victory today would make it certain that we will finish outside of the bottom two, which psychologically has been our target, especially when no relegation was announced. Tuesday’s win was proceeded by a convincing victory at home to Haverfordwest. The team is now showing some real steel and conviction and is now beginning to have the look of a team shaped by Neil Gibson: lots of press, energy, togetherness and basically difficult to play against. Sir Keir Starmer visited the ground this week (pictured below). Irrespective of any political affiliations, it would be difficult not to be impressed by his knowledge and interest in all aspects of football. He was keen to find out about Flint Town United and loved the stadium. So much so that he has promised me to attend a game when allowed. Maybe he can sit next to Jason Manford…! Darryl Essity’s Oakenholt Mill is once again proud to be the main sponsor of Flint Town United Essity is a leading global hygiene and health company which makes household brands including Cushelle, Velvet, Bodyform, TENA, Plenty, Tork, and more. Essity and its employees at the Oakenholt mill wish the team and its supporters every success for the forthcoming season, on their return to the Cymru Premier League FROM THE MANAGER Today marks our final home fixture in our first season back in the Cymru Premier. We welcome the players, staff & committee of Aberystwyth to the Essity stadium for what is a finely poised fixture. We know that Aberystwyth will be very determined to overturn the result a few weeks back and I’ve certainly been impressed by their performances of late. So, we know we are in for a tough fixture and will need to be at our best to gain 3 points. The players are energised and in good spirits following our last two games. It’s always nice to win but the level of performance has also been very pleasing of late, and, on Tuesday whilst we recorded our biggest Cymru Premier league win, I’m sure any neutral who witnessed the game would agree that double figures would not have flattered us, on the number of chances we created. We have been very clear to the players that we want to finish the season on a high and victory today would confirm us finishing outside of the bottom two places, something that I think our performances recently have deserved.
