Inside This Issue Inside This Issue Results 2015-16 1st Team Fixtures U19 Fixtures League tables History of the Cymru Alliance Part 4 1993-94 Academy News/Reports 2 Attendances at the Rock are beginning to be a cause for concern as just over 100 spectators turned up for the match against Conwy Borough. This was Druids 3rd match at home in eight days and also the 3rd defeat in a row but again the fixture clashed with a home match at the Racecourse for Wrexham which seriously affects the gate when we are at home. DRUIDS 1 Conwy borough 2 Druids started brightly and when top scorer Mike Pritchard beat the offside trap to chip the visiting keeper after only 12 minutes to put Druids one up there was no hint of what was to follow. In spite of having the bulk of the play in the first half hour Druids could not muster one shot on target and from then on things started to deteriorate. The Rock started to crumble, passes went astray, Druids were giving the ball away cheaply and confidence visibly waned. When Conwy’s Jack Rowlands turned up unmarked at the far post from a corner to tap home the equaliser on 57 minutes there was only ever going to be one winner. In added time Conwy pinched the winner when Druids yet again gave the ball away and Roberts took full advantage firing home in the bottom left hand corner. Caernarfon Town away next week now looks like a massive task to avoid it becoming 4 defeats in a row, unheard of by Druids in this league.

Two of the previous season's outstanding teams, Rhyl and Wrexham Reserves, led the way during the early part of the 1993/94 campaign, but newcomers Llandudno, Mostyn and 1992/93 runners- up Welshpool were hot on their heels. With Welshpool's cup exploits, on four different fronts, tak- ing priority over league fixtures, the Lilywhites had plenty of games to play in the latter stages of the season in their bid to overhaul long-term leaders Rhyl. The Maesydre club's schedule ultimately proved costly as the title, and promotion to the League of Wales, headed to Belle Vue by a margin of 6 points. Although Welshpool missed out on the championship, for a second consecutive season, they made up for the disappointment with a hat-trick of cup victories. The Lilywhites beat Rhyl, the holders, in the League Cup final at the Racecourse, overwhelmed Mid Wales League champions Machynlleth 5-0 in the CWFA Challenge Cup final, and lifted the inaugural Central Wales Senior Cup by overcoming arch rivals Llansantffriad. Rhyl once again carried the league banner furthest in the Welsh Cup, going down to Swansea City 2-0 in the Fourth Round. Whilst in the newly-entitled FAW Trophy, formerly the Intermediate Cup, Mostyn, Rhyl and Welshpool all departed at the quarter-final stage. With no clubs relegated from the League of Wales at the conclusion of the 1993/94 campaign, and Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) champions Penycae and Llandrindod Wells (Mid Wales League runners up) pro- moted to the Cymru Alliance, it meant only Gresford Athletic had to be relegated. The Clappers Lane outfit were to be the first ever club to be demoted from the Cymru Alliance, but they would return in the following century, following a stint back in the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Contact Us Postal Address:- Cefn Druids FC, The Rock Stadium, Rock Road, Rhosymedre, Wrexham.

    TT1112-98 TT No.98: Justin Holmes - Sunday 13th November 2011; Rhyl v Porthmadog; Cymru Alliance; Venue: Belle Vue, Rhyl; Score: 0-0; Admn: £6.00; Prog: £2.00; Att: 402; Match Rating: 3. The final game on my long weekend stay in Colwyn Bay would be on my way home. The original plan was to take in the Welsh Premiership game between Airbus UK Broughton and Afan Lido. This would not have been ideal, having to rely on Sunday buses to get to and from the ground from Chester, and happily various quirks of fate ensured that the Porthmadog v Rhyl was reversed at late notice, providing a much easier game in take in on my way home, to see two former Welsh Premiership clubs with strong ambitions to return (not always the case in Wales) in "sunny Rhyl". The Belle Vue ground is located about 15 minutes from Rhyl town centre, slightly less from the train station and has quite an impressive and large fascia to the ground. One inside, the ground is almost completely all-seater. Behind the goal where one enters the ground is uncovered seating, with the "Legends Lounge" portacabin type building perched above. Behind the other goal is an all-seater stand. Spanning one length of the pitch is the largest all-seater stand in the ground, whereas on the other side is another all-seater stand, with the only standing areas in the ground either side of it. Unfortunately, all of the covered stands have many supporting pillars to obstruct one's view.

  • Cymru Alliance; Res: 2-4; Att: 56 (H/C); Admission: £3; Programme: £1 (28Pp); FGIF Match Rating: *****
    TT1112-40 TT No.40: Andy Gallon - Sat 10th September 2011; Penycae v Flint Town United; Cymru Alliance; Res: 2-4; Att: 56 (h/c); Admission: £3; Programme: £1 (28pp); FGIF Match Rating: *****. We took a chance on both game and ground, and got lucky. Afoneitha Road proved to be a picturesque enclosure, while the match, featuring four goals in a helter- skelter last nine minutes, was a belter. At kick-off, Penycae had suffered five straight defeats since returning to the Cymru Alliance, scoring one goal and conceding 26 in the process. Nonetheless, Flint's officials were wary because the hosts had brought in the experienced Simon Sedgwick as manager. Sedgwick had an immediate impact - in more ways than one. His dog slipped its moorings just before the teams took the field, and efforts to catch it delayed the start by five minutes. My girlfriend came to the rescue by offering her chocolate bar as bait. With Fido unceremoniously removed, the action could begin. Recently, Penycae agreed a lease with the local authority, and emboldened by this security, have made major improvements to their ground. Hardstanding has been laid around most of the pitch, and the dressing rooms, in a separate pavilion, refurbished. The ground is on the edge of the village, one of many former industrial centres in the Wrexham area, and tucked away down an unmade lane. The pavilion, better suited to cricket than football, is next to a small car park. Two adjacent portable buildings house a kitchen, complete with singing chef, and a hospitality area.

A point behind current leaders Barry Town but with two games in hand they must be regarded as early favourites for the championship though there is a long, long way to go. Without doubt it looks the most open for years with no team even close to a decisive breakaway and early leaders Cambrian and AFC Porth both stuttering in recent games.

  • Prior to February 1990, There Had Been Attempts by Various Bodies in North and Mid Wales at Forming a Joint League Covering Their Area
    Prior to February 1990, there had been attempts by various bodies in North and Mid Wales at forming a joint League covering their area. Progress was impeded by arguments and disagreements and was about to come to nothing when the FAW intervened by formulating a plan it initialise a fully national League by the 1992-93 season. As an interim measure and part of a structured pyramid system the formation of a North & Mid-Wales premier league was essential and a meeting of interested clubs was arranged on Sunday 12th February at Flint. FAW Secretary Alun Evans outlined the proposals and stated that “there WILL be a North Wales equivalent to the Welsh Football League in the South next season”. Mr Evans continued “Some leagues will be ruffled by what is going to happen but soccer in this region has been stagnating for too long. It is a bold step forward which is being imposed which I being imposed on those who could not previously agree” Welsh Alliance secretary Trefor Lloyd Hughes added “I am wholeheartedly behind this plan and I say that as secretary of a League that is likely to lose most clubs”. Mr Hughes was also active within the FAW in support of the plan. Sixteen of the eighteen clubs present indicated strong interest to join from what would be the new league’s feeder leagues in the proposed pyramid system – the Welsh Alliance, Central Wales League and the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area). The setting up of the new League was administered by the FAW– under the control of Mr Evans – and application forms were circulated to all clubs that voiced interest.

  • Welsh Football Trust Evidence Submission
    WELSH FOOTBALL TRUST EVIDENCE SUBMISSION: NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES COMMUNITIES, EQUALITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT INQUIRY INTO THE WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE Introduction 1. This paper sets out the Welsh Football Trust’s (WFT) evidence for the Committee’s inquiry into the Welsh Premier League (WPL). It explains the role of the WFT, the extent of its interaction and support for the WPL and provides information for each area of the inquiry’s terms of reference. Background 2. The WFT was formed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW) in 1996 to ring fence funding for grass roots football development. It is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. The Board of Trustees is comprised of 14 members. Seven Trustees are nominated by the FAW and seven are independently recruited through open advertisement. The WFT is the governing body’s agent for increasing participation, delivering training to coaches and volunteers and identifying and developing talented young players to support the future success of national teams. 3. The WFT has no involvement in the governance and administration of the WPL. Its main interactions are with the clubs, providing:- training and mentoring to WPL coaches and managers; support for coaching and the improvement of in standards at WPL Academies; support for club development projects via our network of Football Development Officers. In 2008 the FAW and WFT formed a sister organisation, Welsh Grounds Improvements, which distributes FAW monies as grant aid to WPL and feeder league clubs for grounds infrastructure projects. Standard of football 4. It is difficult to assess objectively whether the standard of football in the WPL is improving.
