Five years after being crowned Welsh Premier League champions, it appears the Reds will disappear from Welsh football after the High Court placed the business in the hands of the Official Receiver. Lawyers for Llanelli argued that the club had turned amateur in August 2012 meaning the debt owed to HMRC was less than the £21,000 being claimed. But the Registrar rejected their arguments: “I am sorry, it seems to me it was made perfectly clear exactly what was expected and I am not satisfied that steps have been taken as required. “I am going to make the usual compulsory order.” This is the second successive season a Welsh Premier League club has been wound up in the High Court as Neath FC suffered the same fate in May 2012. It’s believed that Llanelli FC owner and former chairman, Nitin Parekh, is considering appealing the decision. RECENT RESULTS….

Well respected Morgan has been involved in Welsh refereeing since 2004 and has been a constant figure in the WPL since 2008. The highlights of his career include officiating at Europa League matches, Welsh League Cup Final (2012), Cardiff City v Celtic (2011) and Wales v Costa Rica (Gary Speed Memorial 2012). The Corbett Sports Welsh Premier League would like to thank Kevin Morgan for his valuable contribution to the League and wishes him all the best in the future. He was given a guard of honour by both teams and their young mascots as he entered the field.

Pike initially took over the reins in February’s friendly with Ireland, where he made a winning start before being offered the post for the next two years. “This is great privilege; to manage your country at any level is a fantastic feeling. I am very passionate about academy football and am looking forward to working with FAW in the hope that we can improve what is already a fantastic system and breeding ground for young talent,” said Pike.
