We’re hosting newly promoted side Corwen this afternoon, in what I’m sure we all hope will be the start of a positive season following the disappointment of last year. Once again, it’s a new look squad with only captain Danny Hughes and goalkeeper Shaun Pearson who remain from the end of last season’s squad, along with Matty Jones coming in to lead the lads. Matty has been confident throughout pre-season and has looked to have set up a good group of lads who will be willing to work hard for the club and we’ll hopefully have a lot more to shout about this season. We’ve got a mix of experience with the likes of Danny, Shaun and Lee Thomas in the squad, along with a good crop of local young lads who will give their all for the club. With our first three league games being at Maesdu Park, we have a really good opportunity to gather some momentum this month and then hopefully build on that in the coming months, and let’s hope we can start off with a win this afternoon. Enjoy the game!” Geraint Roberts , Head of Media IT’S ALL ABOUT WINNING! Business is a Team Game 18 Wynnstay Road Colwyn Bay LL29 8NB 01492 535 000 www.compsoluk.com Proud Supporters of Llandudno FC LLANDUDNO FC A BRIEF HISTORY OFFICIAL MATCHDAY PROGRAMME Football in Llandudno dates back to 1878 when a club, probably known as Gloddaeth Rovers was in existence for around a decade. 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.

It has been a very busy off season and pre season and the squad, management team and everyone behind the scenes is excited to now get going. The playing and management teams have both been totally revamp and rebuilt over the summer, with myself being appointed in May after the club suffered relegation from the WPL. My main role has been to recruit a management team, a playing team and to work on bringing a feel good factor back to the club. The most effective way for us to do that is to win games of football in an entertaining and exciting way that pleases and engages you, the fans. From last years squad I was delighted to retain the services of long serving captain Danny Hughes as well as ex- perienced goalkeeper Shaun Pearson, retaining these two players was a huge early boost. Joining these two will be some familiar faces to the Llandudno faithful including, Lee Thomas, Dean Seeger, Ant Mar- shall, Bry Roberts and Robbie Parry. These players are joined by a number of players that I have worked with before and who you will come to know and enjoy watching as the season progresses. I’d also like to introduce first team oath Stu Howson who joins the back room team from the academy, Dave Guinn who continues as goalkeeper coach, Rob Jones who comes in as first team coach and match day physio and Sian Bethel who will be our head of medicine and treatment. I would also like to mention and thank a number of the clubs volunteers that have been extremely helpful and supportive since my appointment. Richard, the chairman has been extremely supportive on a number of issues and helping to ensure the football side can run as smoothly as possible. Victor has been a rock as club secretary and the support received from others such as Grant, Geraint, Neil, Rob, Sam, Gerald and everyone else has been fantastic for us as a group. Our competitive games started last week with a late defeat to Guilsfield in the cup. I felt we played very well in most parts of the game and just fell short in what was a very tight and well contested game. This game followed on from a tough but very productive pre season program that has prepared us well for this coming season. I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome our visitors today, Corwen. Corwen were promoted last year from the Welsh National League and will come into this campaign with momentum having kept most of their promoted side. We know that this is going to be a tough game against resilient opposi- tion so we must ensure we are at our very best to come away with maximum points. I would like to thank you in advance for your tremendous support, it is a privilege and an honour for me to managing this football club and I aim to create a club environment that we can all be proud of, and the key to that is that we are all together, pulling in the same direction and loving what we do.” Matthew Jones, 1st Team Manager LLANDUDNO FC MATCH REPORT OFFICIAL MATCHDAY PROGRAMME GUILSFIELD vs LLANDUDNO Nathaniel MG Cup Second Round Saturday, 10th of August, 2019 Clos Mytton, Guilsfield RESULT: GUILSFIELD 1 - 0 LLANDUDNO Llandudno out of the Nathaniel MG Cup following Guislfield late winner.

  • Club History
    Club History Organised football in Bangor dates from a meeting held in the city’s Magistrates' Rooms on 18 December 1876 – but not football as we might imagine because it was the handling variety that was first played in the city. It wasn’t until nearly a year later that it was decided to abandon rugby, to concentrate on association football, and to join the Football Association of Wales. The reason for the change of code? The number of players injured in that first experimental season! At that time, the club played at the Maes y Dref ground, at the lower end of Bangor’s High Street, and in the early years concentrated on playing challenge (friendly) fixtures and competing in the various cup competitions. Obviously, the club had no lack of ambition as on Easter Monday 1880, they took on the mighty Blackburn Rovers, giving a good account of themselves in a narrow 2 – 1 defeat. Nine years later, Bangor won the Welsh Cup for the first time, beating Northwich Victoria 2 – 1 at Wrexham before a crowd of 4,000, and in 1895-96 put on an even more impressive performance, beating north Wales giants Wrexham 3 – 0 at Llandudno to win football’s second-oldest cup competition for the second time. The Welsh Cup has been a favourite trophy of Bangor City over the years. City has won the trophy eight times – only Wrexham, Cardiff and Swansea have won it more often. Despite, or perhaps because of, City’s success in cup competitions, it became clear that the Maes y Dref ground was not up to standard, attracting complaints from visiting teams.

  • The Football Association Challenge the Cup Final
    The Football Association Challenge The Cup Final Cup Final Facts • The match is widely known as just the Cup Final. • It is the last match in the Football Association (FA) Challenge Cup. • It has about 86 000 spectators and millions of TV viewers. • The trophy (winner’s cup) is only on loan to the winning side. • It is the oldest cup competition in the world, first played in the 1871 - 72 season. Who Can Enter? The Challenge Cup competition is open to any club in the top ten levels of the English Football League. Once clubs have registered to play, the tournament is organised into 12 randomly drawn rounds, followed by the semi-finals and finals. The higher ranked teams join the competition in later rounds when some of the lower ranked teams have been knocked out. What Do the Winners Receive? The winners of the final match receive the Football Association Cup, the FA Cup. It comes in three parts; the base, the cup and a lid. Over the years, there have been two designs of trophy and five cups have been made. The first cup, known as the ‘little tin idol’, was stolen in 1895 and never returned. An exact replica was made and used until 1910. From 1911, a new design was made. In 1992, another copy was made as the cup was wearing out from being handled, and another replacement was made in 2014. The cup is presented at the end of the match, giving the engraver just five minutes to engrave the winning team on the silver band on the base.

  • To: CELG Committee From: David Collins, Editor, Welsh Football I
    To: CELG Committee From: David Collins, Editor, Welsh Football I wish to submit the following views to the Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee inquiry into the Welsh Premier League. I write as editor of Welsh Football magazine, the unofficial national football magazine of Wales. This has been continuously produced since 1991 by football enthusiasts, as a not-for- profit publication, to ensure that our nation has a national magazine to match the independent status of Wales in football. One of our primary focuses is the Welsh Premier League and the domestic structure below it. I am not a professional journalist, nor have I worked in sports administration. However, I have watched a large amount of Welsh Premier football over its twenty year existence and I am in no doubt that the standard of play and the spectator facilities have improved beyond recognition. Today we have a competition which bears comparison with the Football Conference in England – yet has a far lower profile even in Wales and attracts less public attention, including attendances. Indeed, the single biggest problem the league still has is its public perception: incongruously, despite the national pride in Wales as a nation displayed in so many walks of life, rather than celebrate the fact that we have our own league and cup competitions enabling our clubs to represent their country in UEFA competition, the wider public and press attitude to our national league is often a mixture of embarrassment and disinterest. This attitude contrasts strongly with many other smaller nations in Europe - and also with attitudes to Welsh rugby clubs and competitions.

Three years later Plasmadoc became Druids when the various colliery and quarry teams in the hills around Ruabon and Cefn Mawr were brought together under one banner. Six Druids players were in the first Welsh international side which played Scotland on 25 March 1876 - the most from a single club ever to play for Wales. In addition to being the first Welsh club to play in the English FA Cup, Druids also played in the very first Welsh Cup game at Newtown on 13 October 1877, just a week after playing Scottish giants Queens Park at Hampden Park. In 1876 Druids entered the English FA Cup for the first time with little success. But in 1882/83 they defeated Bolton Wanderers in the fourth round, losing to eventual winners Blackburn Olympic in the quarter finals. Runners-up to Wrexham in the first Welsh Cup Final in 1877/78, Druids were finalists in the first six years of the competition and became the first club to win it three times in succession by lifting the trophy from 1880-1882. In all Druids won the Welsh Cup eight times and were runners up on eleven occasions.

The first documented evidence of Buckley dates back to the year, 1294. The town was then described as, ‘The Pastorage Of the Manor of Ewloe’ Some historians suggest that the name, Buckley may derive from the Old English language name of Bok Lee – which means, meadow or field. In 1420, King Henry V presented Ewloe and the pastorage of Buckley to his wife, Catherine of Valois as a wedding gift to her. This was worth the sum of £26 per annum. Between the 17th and 19th Centuries, Buckley became an industrial heartland for both pottery and coal mining. The first pottery opened in 1737 and by the early 19th Century there were fourteen potteries in the town. Buckley eventually became a brick working centre, bricks were transported across the United Kingdom and as far away as The United States of America. Many people (particularly from Ireland and Liverpool) came to Buckley to seek work in the mining and brick industries. This influx of people gave the town a distinctive accent. The oldest parish church in Buckley is called St.

  • Guilsfield Football Club
    History – Guilsfield Football Club Football has been played in Guilsfield since the early part of 1930's but little is known of the teams of that era. A team was known to have played in the village at the end of World War 2. One game played was their version of an international when they played the local Italian prisoner of war camp side. One player of note from the early 50's was Wyn Nicholls who later played for Newtown, Welshpool and gained Welsh Caps at under 18 level, he later signed professional forms for Wrexham. The present club was formed on August 6th 1957. Mr.Bill Laker and several other men folk of the village got together to form a local side, with seven or eight local lads playing for surrounding villages it was felt that the village needed to form a team of its own. The club entered the Montgomeryshire Amateur League and matches during this early period were played on local farmer's fields and during the summer months the committee and players would help the farmer with his harvest to cover the ground rent for the season. During the mid sixties the village doubled in size and the local Community Centre was built with room to accommodate a football pitch, which is where the club plays today. Throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's the team was almost all local players of a good standard but honours eluded the club except for the occasional runners-up in cup finals. Players of note from this period who moved to higher standard of football were David Jones, Welshpool and Oswestry who also gained a Welsh Amateur Cap.
