Transfers

The club would like to announce the transfers of two former players who have returned to the club this week from Ynyshir Albions, Matthew Bishop and Daniel Evans. Matthew is back for his third spell with the club, his last time was 5 years ago and it's Daniel's second spell where he previously played for us back in the 2012/13 season.

Also returning to the club this month is Jordan Maiden tranferring back from Ystrad Rugby FC

2019/20 Season

After a season as player manager and guiding the club to its highest league finish for several years Nathan Williams has decided to step down from the role and return just as a player for the forthcoming season. The club would like to thank Nathan for all his hard work over the last year in what can be a thankless task at times. Tom Lewis will take over as player manager for the 2019/20 season

The majority of last years squad have re-signed for the 19/20 season along with new signings Nathan Oliver, Simon Warren, Joel Davies, Gareth Polston and the return of Gareth Smith who last played for the club 7 years ago

Senior Cup Draw

After receiving a bye for the first round of the Senior Cup we await the winners of St Josephs’s OB or FC Trecenydd to find out our opponents for the 2^nd round which will be played away on the 12^th October

2018/19 Presentation Day

Our presentation day kicked off early with a friendly kick about between Past, Present and Future players in a 5-a-side tournament with over 30 players taking part. With 5 teams competing with a mixture of players it was the “Green” team who came away winners needing a penalty shoot-out to settle it.

The presentation continued into the evening back at our club house Tylorstown Rugby Club, who we would also like to thank for their continued support throughout the season.

It was a clean sweep in the awards department this year with Craig Jones taking all 4 trophies home, Most Man of the Matches (6), Top Goalscorer (20), Players Player and Player of the Year. This was Craig’s first season at the club joining 6 games in and played in every game from then on in scoring on average over a goal a game.

As the players take the credit for the on field performances massive thanks must also go to the two gentlemen who do the work behind the scenes to keep the club ticking over, Gareth Lewis and David Isaac, you don’t often see the work they do but if they didn’t do it the club would not function as well as it does

The club would also like to thank our Sponsors and Vice Presidents for this season as without their support it would be more difficult to run the football club especially in these times with the ever growing costs involved

If anyone is interested in sponsoring the club for the 19/20 season or interested in becoming a Vice President then please feel free to contact the club for more information

2018/19 Season

Following the end of the 2017/18 season Gareth Hurton decided to step down as Manager after nearly two seasons in charge, which during his time he guided the club to their first trophy in 15 years by winning the Lucania Cup in April 2018. Although Gareth is no longer manager he will still be part of club committee and coaching team.

With several candidates showing an interest in the vacant managers position the job was offered to last years captain Nathan Williams as the man to take the club forward in a player/manager role. Nathan’s determination to get the club back into the Alliance League was a major factor in him being appointed and hopefully with the players at his disposal this season we can build on our cup triumph last year and mount a strong promotion challenge. Nathan will be assisted by Huw Evans who returns to the club after a short spell away and Tom Lewis. The new manager has been working hard over the summer building his squad for the new season and with the majority of last years squad re-signing plus a few new additions he has given himself a good headache ahead of the first game on August 18th when he names his first team of the season

As a club we are looking for more people to help off the field, in particular we are looking for a first aid person for match days, if anyone is interested in this role or assisting in any other way please contact the club

The club are also looking for any local businesses who would like to sponsor the club for the 2018/19 season, any type of sponsorship would be appreciated but if there is any potential sponsors wanting to sponsor anything specific (kit, club tops, balls etc...) please contact the club for further details and packages available

Our season gets underway on Saturday 18th August as we travel to newly promoted Penygraig BGC
