Pontardawe please as I went out with a girl from there once well it was actually Alltwen but close enough for me
Narrowly avoided relegation last season, but have had a change of manager and signed a few players. STM sports is actually St Melons of Cardiff, missed out on promotion last season on last game. should be strong again this season. Finished top half of the table having been relegated the season before, should be pushing to go back up this year. Mid table last season but have strengthened well close season, another contender for promotion, if not the title. Promoted from Div 3 last season and hoping to emulate what Cardiff Met have done. wont be far away. Struggled last season and will probably be down and around the bottom again, Mid table last season and probably be where they end up this year.
Fixtures for this weekend, Aberbargoed Buds v Caldicot Town AFC Llwydcoed v Swansea University Bridgend Street v Abergavenny Town Caerau Ely v Aberdare Town Dinas Powys v Croesyceiliog Garden Village v Monmouth Town Pontardawe Town v Risca United STM Sports v West End
Garden Village all the way. Thought it was 1million miles away when I was a kid. My gang used to ride our Raleigh Choppers there, all the way from the bricks, Dunvant Brickworks, looking for trouble and ready to ride away as fast as we could peddle if we actually found any. Never did, usually ended up buying sweets from a sweet shop which is now a garage.
Finished 6th last season, were poor at home, but had the best away record in the league, only losing 2 away. very similar squad to last year with some young players coming through, (my 18 year old son is their keeper) Ran by ex Swan Dai D'auria. This is where I will be Saturday, hopefully getting off to a good start, Monmouth will be tricky though as they only got relegated from L1 because of ground criteria.
Could I join in and have Bridgend Street please. Mother's side from that region....don't know them from Adam but it gives me an interest.
Yes mate, Promoted from Div 3 last season as Champions I think, they have installed a new manager and I believe he was the Youth team boss at STM last season, (well he told me he was getting the job when we played them) if he takes a few of last years STM players with him sure to challenge.
For ignoramuses like myself... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_football_league_system So we're talking Welsh Football League Division 2 (South Wales region) which is effectively 2 tiers below the Welsh Premier League?
.....and Llanelli Town are now in the Welsh Premier League, they play 22 games and the season ends on 12 Jan 2019 ??? http://www.wpl.cymru/team/LlanelliAFC/2018/2019
They have some weird and wonderfull system where the PL splits in January with the top 6 competing for the league and European spots and the bottom 6 battling to avoid relegation.
Well off to our last training session before Saturdays big KO. last chance to put game plan to the boys. role on Saturday.
