Big day ahead here at the club with the Youth down at West End in the 3rd Round of the FAW Youth Cup. Weather has been rubbish in the last 24 hours but signs this morning suggest all will be ok. No games played at Pryderi Park yesterday so fingers crossed that the surface is in good order.
As for yesterday we went down 3-0 to Goytre United although it wasn't really a heavy defeat as the scoreline suggests. We played well for most of the game but failed to capitalise in the last quarter whilst, too be fair, they did. Nice to see Roger Williams back here in Ponty ... luckily he had to work harder as a first aider than me ... also nice to see Stuart and Nappa back on home turf !! ... where was Phil Hoskins though .... we had a special programme and entry ticket for him !!
Well done to Rourkie who is unbeaten as a caretaker manager of the Neath League side after goals from Gareth Govier, Ben Dorward and Jordan Harris gave him a 3-1 win over Inco Vale..... Bunji in the bad books for giving away a late penalty ....
Up at the club last night our hard working committee were looking knackered having work their socks off to put on our Christmas Table Top Sale. This was a well attended and successful event so well done to all especially Yvonne, Kath, Jayne, Penny and Martin ... there were more I know so thanks to all.
Finally our thanks to Dean and Fiona who have sponsored a new kit and a ground banner for us this season. After a miserable day weather wise and a miserable defeat on the field it was good to see them win a couple of decent raffle prizes up at the clubhouse afterwards. The new kit is excellent (in my washing machine now!) and we look forward to seeing Dean and Fiona at our future games and at the clubhouse.
I'm off to measure the pitch today cos the league say it is a bit small .... and to find the idiots who thought it would be fun to smash up a few of our pitchside barriers during the week ... thanks for that !!!
