12-Sep-13:- Under 16's Friendly - Carnetown Away
Dylan Bruford - 6
Positive: Didn't have a lot to do in the game, credit to the boys playing in front of him. But still, when he was called upon he done well.
Negative: Needs to come off his line quicker and be more vocal between the sticks. I'm sure this will come with confidence.
Positive: Strong in the tackle and didn't lose much in the air. Left footer playing at right back, you'd never have guessed!
Negative: Needs to get forward more when possible and call for the ball when he's in space.
Positive: Commanding in the air, strong in the tackle, pace to burn (36 pace on fifa apparently) everything you want from a centre half. Except...
Negative: Needs to be more vocal.
Positive: Given the captains armband and led by example, organised the defence well and sweeped up everything.
Negative: Another one who needs to talk more on the field. Couldn't shut him up on the way home in the car. Went wandering late on in the game.
Positive: Started the game well, good in the tackle. Went on one run Bale would have been proud of.
Negative: Forced off early with an injury. Need him to be fit for Sunday.
Positive: What he hasn't got in height he makes up for with his running, he doesn't stop! Think his father has taught him well - if you can't catch 'em, kick 'em!
Negative: Need to try and save some energy, run out of puff a little bit towards the end.
Positive: Full of energy in the engine room. Got quality on the ball. Always wants the ball too, which takes pressure off team.
Negative: got over run on a couple of occasions with 2 in the middle.
Positive: Equally quality on the ball. Sat in front of his centre halfs to give them protection. Worked well with Dylan.
Negative: brilliant when he's got the ball, needs to demand it more.
Positive: good outlet on the left. Confident on the ball. Dropped back to left back late on and done well.
Negative: got blisters from his new boots and had to come off early because of it. Got involved in the nonsense at the end of the game - no need for it.
Positive: Fast and Strong. Held the ball, got a lot of shots off. Could have come away with a couple of goals on a different day.
Negative: Got involved in the nonsense at the end of the game - no need for it. Needs to keep his head.
Positive: Linked up well with the midfield. Moved out wide left to help out in the second half and looked dangerous cutting in on his right foot.
Negative: looked for the pass a bit to much when the shot was on. Be more greedy!
Positive: had a couple of nice touches when he came on, was near to the ball when it went in for out goal. Therefore he's claiming it!
Negative: Gave silly free kicks away.
Positive: Got stuck in at right back. He likes it there now
Negative: looked lost right midfield. He doesn't like it there.
Chris 'Smokey' Owen - 6
Positive: chased things down up front. Look a bit lively.
Negative: looked lost at right back. Doesn't mind where he plays. Just not in goals, defence or midfield.

27-May-12:- Chairmans End of Season Report
But all football was put into context in September when club stalwart Karl Williams and children lost his wife and their mother Michelle after a short illness. The thoughts of the Club and Players are still with him and we hope to see him soon.
Some new players came and went for whatever reason, but the true loyal players remained.

A Page will be created on our WEBSITE listing those interested and giving details of their time with the “Town”
A Subscription of a minimum of £25 a year is required to become a Vice President.
If enough people are interested we would look to create an Annual Social activity, as yet undecided and open to suggestions.

We are playing our Football in Division Two of the South Wales Senior League next Season. 2011 / 2012 ( I am confident )
Congratulations and thanks to all connected with the Club for what has been a difficult period going back to the end of the 2009 / 2010 season.
On the field we had a change of Manager in Gareth Hurton / Gareth Griffiths in February 2011 replacing Jeremy Morgan who had just over 2 years in the hot seat and credit must go to these for what sometimes is a difficult job.
Thanks to the players who stuck it out and some returning to the Town.
Results continue to confuse me, we can beat the top teams but teams around us seemed to win against us. We won only 2 games at Home and got only 11 points but 5 games Away got us 18 points.
Off the field the Dugouts were completed to comply with the League Regulations this is in addition to us providing barriers around the perimeter 3 years ago.
It however is getting more difficult ( self managing the changing rooms and field ) and more costly to put a side out with all the on going demands of the League.
Thanks must go to Mal , Tom, Mole for the service they have given to this club over many years but we need more bodies to run the Club off the field if we want to progress. Next Season will our 35th year in existence and the 19th in the South Wales Senior League
Our next task is to arrange the Presentation Evening knowing we are still in the Senior League details of which will follow.
Thanks to all involved
MAGUA
GARETH LEWIS
Following results in the Welsh League tonight only one team from the South Wales area will be relegated who will replace the champion club of the Senior or Amateur League. This means that only the bottom 2 of the second division and Stanleytown will be playing in the Senior League next season.

16-Feb-11:- Construction of Dug Outs Now Complete
14-Feb-11:- Gareth Hurton Appointed New Manager
It has been confirmed today that Gareth Hurton (Goff) has been appointed the new manager of Stanleytown
Following Saturday’s defeat to St Albans, Jeremy Morgan has resigned as manager; he will remain at the club but as a player only. Magua & Mole are to take temporary charge of the team until a new manager is found.
If anyone is interested in becoming manager please contact Gareth Lewis on 07816948872 or e-mail magua@stanleytownfc.co.uk
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
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
| Season | W | L | D | Pts | Final League Position |
| 2003/2004 | 3rd (55 pts) - Promoted | ||||
| 2004/2005 | 10th (33 pts) | ||||
| 2005/2006 | 15th (15 pts) - Relegated | ||||
| 2006/2007 | 12th (30 pts) | ||||
| 2007/2008 | 13th (27 pts) | ||||
| 2008/2009 | 4th (47 pts) | ||||
| 2009/2010 | 13th (31 pts) | ||||
| 2010/2011 |
I am convinced by the right attitude, commitment and support from ALL involved at the Club we can start winning and move up the League table.
GARETH LEWIS ( Magua )
CHAIRMAN
The fixtures for 2010/11 Season have now been released. Our season kicks off this Tuesday 31st August Away to Lisvane / Llanishen. Our first home game of the season is Saturday 4th September when we welcome recently relegated St Athan. The first local derby of the season takes place on Saturday 25th September when we welcome Ynyshir Albions. Our season is due to end on the 2nd April with a trip to Brecon Corries. Full fixtures are available here
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.
We are entered in a 6 a side competition in Port Talbot on Saturday 10th July. We are the 72nd team to register for the competition - format is groups of 5, everybody plays each other once, with top 2 progressing to knock out stages.
Minibus to be arranged there and back.
'Spectators' are welcome and Bitter boys also invited to enter a team.
Confirm your availability or not by texting Jez or posting on the guestbook here

09-May-09:- Heres a few facts... (provided by Matthew Smith)
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!
