Lido teams of the past
I was recently sent in some old pictures of past Lido teams by Neil Preece, unfortunately we don't have names for those in the pic's.

Unfortunately the only person I can recognise is a young looking Phil Robbo in his prime complete with curly hair, though I'm sure many of you will recognise many in the pictures.

Bryntirion match preview
Tonight we take on one of the rising teams in the welsh league. Bryntirion are the guests at the Marston tonight, in only their 5th season in the welsh league.

Having finished as champions of the south Wales amateur league in 2001-2002, they joined the welsh league in 2002-03 finishing a credible 5th in their first season in the league.

The following season the won the welsh division 3 title losing just 3 games all season. Their stay in division 2 was short lived as they won promotion in their first and only season in division 2 finishing 3rd.

They more than held their own in their first season in the top division finishing a credible 9th, and last season they finished one better and finished 8th, and in the process got the better of Lido in our 2 league meetings, drawing 0-0 at the Marston and beating us 3-0 Bryntirion Park.

This season they look like improving their standing again as they are flying high in 4th place and just 3 points off top spot, so it's going to be a tough game for us tonight and hopefully we will be at full strength to take on the up and coming side, who have already taken the scalp of high flying Goytre Utd at Glenhafod Park.
