Under
16's win Fed cup |
|
The
Boys
&
Girls
clubs
of
Wales
Federation
Cup
under
16's
Final
was
rapidly
arranged
for
last
Friday.
Both
sides
got
together
and
agreed
to
the
fixture.
Considering
the
short
notice
for
the
game
a
large
crowd
witnessed
an
absorbing
game
in
difficult
conditions.
As
befits
a
cup
final,
this
game
could
have
gone
either
way.
Treboeth
with
4
under
16
internationals
in
their
side
forced
Rory
McCreesh
into
several
fine
saves
in
the
first
half.
With
15
minutes
to
go
a
ball
to
the
edge
of
the
Treboeth
area
was
seized
upon
by
Remi
Whitlock
and
he
guided
the
ball
past
the
keeper
for
the
only
goal.
This
was
a
terrific
win
for
the
16's,
sadly
the
Treboeth
crowd
were
poor
losers
and
the
side
failed
to
turn
up
for
the
after
match
meal.
Still
the
best
two
teams
met
in
the
final
with
the
Lido
also
winning
the
Under
14's
competition
and
St
Josephs
from
Swansea
winning
the
Under
12's

Immensely
proud
of
the
players
all
day.
Thanks
to
Mark
Robinson
who
took
the
Colts
while
the
Rangers
were
playing
the
same
time.
Unfortunately
they
didn't
progress
thro
the
group
stages
but
everyone
played
well
with
Jacob
Flynn
scoring
2
and
a
debutant
goal
for
Chris
Gardner. All
the
boys
enjoyed
themselves
and
it
was
a
Good
day
had
by
all.
It's
fair
to
say
that
with
SIAN
CURRY
demolishing
her
chair
it's
time
now
for
a
DIET
instead
of
sitting
behind
the
checkout
all
day
perhaps
she
should
think
about
stacking
shelves.

Shamrock
cup final set for the Marston |
|
For
the
second
time
the
Shamrock
cup
final
was
postponed
and
Pontardawe
and
Penrhiwceiber
will
now
have
to
do
battle
at
the
Lido
next
Tuesday
@
7:30.
The
original
venue
of
Maesteg's
Tudor
Park
was
no
longer
available,
hence
the
switch
to
the
Marston's
stadium.

our

in
action
on

in
Pontardawe
the

And
both

So
still
plenty
of

Lido
U14's beat Llynypia 4-1 in BGCW Cup |
|
Report
by
Phil
Holmes
Lido U14's beat Llynypia 4-1 today in BGCW Cup.
Not an ideal start for our boys Llynypia scored
after 12 seconds. Sean Meddows equalised on 18 mins.
Nathan Doyle went close on 20mins
Conor Harris scored
2
the 2nd being a brilliant
goal
He's broke an attack in our 3rd and played the
ball out wide, Continued his run into the area hoping for
something.
Shane has pulled the ball back
for Conor to finish off his run with a superb
finish. Warren scored the 3rd. Conor has run a total of 80 yards to completely
finish the game off.
In defence
Joshua
Jones, Aled Northcott
& Daniel O'Brien were awesome to snuff out any chances they had to
score.
To win the BGCW is a massive
achievement for U14's.
Well done to Francis Doyle, Mark Jones & Neil
Harris.

U13
match reports for the Wales B&G Fed cup games |

Reports
by
Paul
Davies
A
fantastic
display
of
football
by
the
U/13
s
enabled
them
to
overcome
a
much
bigger
Merthyr
U/14
side
at
home
last
week
by
3
goals
to
2.
Strong
performances
by
grant
fisher,
Daniel
Carey
and
Thomas
king
in
the
1st
half
helped
a
young
lido
side
stamp
an
authority
on
a
game
that
appeared
an
uphill
task
after
quite
a
physical
start
to
the
game.
In
2nd
half
great
defensive
work
by
centre
backs
Josh
Brady
and
Ryan
Davies
held
tight
and
took
no
prisoners.
Unfortunately
we
went
into
the
semi
final
of
the
fed
cup
in
a
different
frame
of
mind
and
Llangeinor
B&G
U/14s
took
advantage
of
this
and
racked
up
7
goals
to
no
reply.
Hopefully
the
young
lads
will
learn
from
this
result
and
go
into
next
years
comp
all
guns
blazing.
To
round
off
on
a
more
cheerful
note
confident
displays
by
Jordan
James
and
Paul
Malcolm
in
defence,
Levi
Coakes,
Callum
Fleming
and
Mathew
McLean
in
midfield
created
a
platform
in
defeating
Porthcawl
A
3
goals
to
1
in
the
final
league
game
of
the
season.
Culminating
in
one
of
the
finest
goals
of
the
season
seen
at
the
lido
ground
scored
by
Daniel
Symonns.
A
