MAR-31

Maesteg just scrap it

We suffered our 11 league defeat of the season tonight, when we lost by the only goal away to Maesteg 1-0, a draw would have been a fair result but it was not be for the Lido, Maesteg now jump up to 2nd in the league after tonight's win.

Newport YMCA have now joined us on 36 points following their good 3-0 away win over Bettws, which was payed at Bridgends ground tonight, that win for the YM should see them safe from relegation this season.

Evans goes back to Goytre

Carl Evans has left the Lido and has gone back to Goytre Utd, Carl scored 10 goals this season for the reserves.

MAR-22

Under 19's lose to Cardiff City

The Welsh youth cup match against Cardiff City turned out to be a one sided affair with the bluebirds running out comfortable 6-0 winners.

City's first goal knocked the stuffing out of us, in a game where we never had any clear-cut chances. 

In goal for Cardiff was our very own Rory McCreesh (U15's). 
And up front was Mark Jones who's father (Paul) plays for our 3rds.

MAR-17

Welsh cup game switched to the Lido 

The Welsh youth cup match against Cardiff City has been switched to the Lido and is scheduled for next Tuesday 21st with a 7 pm kick off.

MAR-14

Grange Quins pull out of U21 league 

Cardiff Grange Quins troubles continue to mount, the latest setback for the club has been to pull their U21 team out of the league.

This means all there results will be deleted and any team that gained points off them will lose those points.

That means the point we picked up in our first game of the season no longer stands, unfortunately leaders Cwmbran also drew with Quins so they only lose a point, but we remain just a point behind them with a game in hand. That game in hand comes tonight when we host Llanelli U21's.

Sad passing away of a Lido supported 

The club today received the news that Gerry Duggan a loyal supporter of Afan Lido Football Club and the father of Goytre manager and former Lido player Craig passed away this morning.

MAR-02

3rds likely to face points deduction 

Following last Saturdays last minute call off of the 3rds game, the team are preparing for a 3 point deduction by the league, though this has not been confirmed yet. The 3rds game was called off due to two of its team being called up to cover the reserves, who had lost several of their players due to call ups to the first team, only answer is to run 4 teams!!
