Football Clubs are indebted to Volunteers and they came no better than these two Gentlemen, Kenny Williams, and John Bowtell. Sadly both departed us on this very date, Kenny in 2014, John in 2016. Both are very much missed at Dinas Park, but will never be forgotten. RIP Gents

#EstadioDinas. Bathed in glorious Rhondda 🌞.Bonus of extending the pitch length,is reducing the width to a more manageable width, providing warm up areas both sides of the pitch,which will help with wear & tear over the season. #BlackDragons

@FAWales @TNLUK @CymruLeagues Good news,what about tier3 ,tier4 and below ? .5k for tier2 clubs, thats £160k , so £590,000 is spread between 12 PREM clubs? Almost £50k each ?.Way to alienate grassroots clubs that ,can only assume from this that nobody below Tier2 is starting, if so TELL US. #itsgoodtotalk.

Now that the season over time to reflect. Table doesn't lie,plyd 30 won 1,drew2,lost 27. Not good enough to preserve Div2 football. One thing we will say is thanks to every single player whose put on the shirt. We will be back next season fitter,,stronger and more determined.
