Here We Go .... AFC Llwydcoed Up First

Now we are well into July and we have our first pre-season friendly against AFC Llwydcoed on Saturday. The game is in Cardiff on the University playing fields but unfortunately I cannot be there as I am going to be behind the bar at the club.

I read tonite, with dissapointment, that the league has chosen to retain the 3 Reserve leagues as per last year. Whilst I understand that fixture congestion and mileage are an issue I am concerned in respect of the profile of Reserve team football with so few games. Hopefully Tony Griffiths will be able sort something out or perhaps we will have another cup run !

On Sunday I intend to go down the ground armed with a clipboard and pen to make a list of activities we need to get the ground ready for our first home game in late August. I know that Mike Warner has finished the dugouts (cheers Mike) and that they simply need a coat of paint ... if you want to join me ... see you at 9am !

Good luck to Steve and the lads on Saturday ....
