17-Dec-10:- Bruty Cup
Due to the delayed start to the season and the severe weather during December the South Wales Senior League have decided to cancelled this years C W Bruty Cup

.

28-Sep-10:- Start of the Season
A disappointing result against a good Ynyshir Albions left many of us bemused at the situation we find ourselves in.

Making no excuses but not knowing if we were in the Rhondda League or The South Wales Senior League until 6 Days before the season started did not help in Pre season preparations.

It also highlighted the need for more people to assist in the running of the team by assisting Jeremy on Match Days and on training issues as combining playing and managing is a difficult task.
Any Volunteers / Coaches, Assistant Managers out there??

The spirit amongst the Players as shown on Saturday with the trip to Swansea was great to see.

On the field, players should stick together and repeat some of our performances as against Lisvane, St Athans and Penrhiwfer and the results will come.

Stanleytown Football Club have traditionally been slow starters to a Season and as shown below we have had worse starts to a Season than this.
See below based on 6 Matches

27-Aug-10:- Summer of Uncertainty
After a long summer of uncertainty of what league we would be playing in for the 2010 / 11 season a decision was finally made this week that we would continue to play in the South Wales Senior League.

After finishing last season 4th bottom in the league and 5 teams being relegated from the Welsh League it looked as if we would be playing in the Rhondda League this season. However following a successful appeal by Pontyclun against the Welsh league decision only 4 teams were to be relegated into the South Wales Senior & Amateur league which ensured our status in the Senior League.

09-May-09:- Heres a few facts... (provided by Matthew Smith)
Since Stanleytown got relegated from division 1 in 2006 they haven’t finished
higher than 12th: FACT!
Last time Stanleytown finished as high as 4th (excluding 2005) they haven’t finished
higher than 4th: FACT!
After signing a number of “rhondda league players” this season they are on course to finish 4th, the clubs highest position since 1998 (excluding 2005): FACT!
Carlsberg don’t do Rhondda leagues but if they did, they’d probably sign half of Stanleytowns most successful team for years (excluding 2005): FACT!
