We are deeply saddened by the tragic news that a member of Llangynhafal FC has suddenly left us yesterday.
Joel Darlington was a gifted footballer, but more importantly a deeply valued friend. Many of the lads have memories with Joel that will be cherished for a lifetime. 1/2
Earlier this year, the Llangynhafal community were struck with the heartbreaking news of the loss of two members of the club. Gordon, who dedicated years of his life working tirelessly to secure a future for the club and much more, and Joel, who gave us.. 1/2
We’ve only gone and bloody done it!!!🔶a point tonight means we are the Champions of Summer League 2019. An emotional year has made the triumph even sweeter. Onto Thursday vs Cefn and the biggest sesh the Goldies seen in time🍊🍊🍊

We are devastated to hear of the passing of club legend, Martin Dyer.
As a player, then as a manager, Martin was a true stalwart of the club.We will forever be greatful for all the time he devoted to the team. He was a great presence to have around,both on and off the pitch.1/2
Well well well to say we rode our luck at times would be no word of a lie but the Tangerines have pulled a big win off when it mattered most. Cheers to
@SkySports

WE. ARE. BACK. After what’s felt like forever, the tangerines are ready to defend their summer league crown. This season we’ll see fresh faces led by new the coaching staff of Tom Dyer and his assistant Robbie Diss. This is the definition of an Iconic Duo. Bring on the season🍊
Thats it, Deadline day over. All quiet here at HQ after a tough day. Gaffer unable to chase potential signings as he was too busy negotiating all day with keeper Dylan Jones’ girlfriend about how many away games he’s allowed to play this season. Disaster.
#Underthethumb
the feeling of hope and excitiment with his unique talent on the pitch. To dedicate the cup to both is an honour, as both will be remembered fondly for a very long time. Gordon Clarke and Joel Darlington, this one is for you gents. 2/2
We send our deepest condolences to Shaun, Dawn, Chris, Kyran, Lauren, Joel’s extended family and his friends.
A big presence both on and off the pitch, we will miss you dearly Joel, rest easy up there mate.
The hero of the night. Cometh the hour, cometh the Sharps. A measly black eye for his troubles but a vital winner for the tangerines. Chicks dig shiners, you’ll be on form on feathers DF this weekend Thomas.
#HAFAL
“We’ve got Charlie Caton,
Super Charlie Caton, His Dad coaches Bala He’s better than Mo Salah We’ve got super Charlie Caaaton” is the chant echoing Hafal streets tonight.Good win on the road🔸
Couple weeks ago, a young man was captured having the sweetest of dreams post corpy - scoring the winner for his beloved hafal, his first goal, on his 30th birthday. Last night, that dream became reality. It really is the stuff of Gods. Viva la tangerines, viva la JLJ🍊🍊
What a night for the tangerines, keeping the shield dream alive with a 4-2 win vs Llanrhaeadr.Seds and Sharps firing four goals past judas

#weareHAFAL
Shortly 11 or probably less Tangerines will make way to Cefn for tonights game. A team thats unbeaten and conceded the same amount all season as we did in our previous game. Are we confident? Absolutely not,but we are Hafal and we will Piss with the Cock we’ve got🔶
Some things are guaranteed in life, a opening fixture vs

Hafal v Ysceifiog, 6:15 at Rhewl, game on🍊
A few sore heads in the Hafal community today after a celebrating a 3-1 win against Henllan last night. Goals from Webster, AVE and Garmos, which made it our 5th win on the bounce. Up the HAFAL🔶
5-1 defeat against a strong Henllan team tonight. Can’t fault the effort, a very depleted team but everyone put a shift in. After a controversial 48 hours in the league, we’ll leave this quote here for fellow strugglers. - “you just have to piss with the cock you’ve got”
#Hafal
After a big win Monday, the tangerine young guns (and tom sharps) travel to Dyrny for a local derby. The hafal faithful are gutted to hear that dyrny’s
@EddieEvans98
is back for tonight’s game given the rumours he’s been scoring for fun out in Albufeira with the lads.
#hotstreak
Did you know only 15 players have received a 10/10 in L'Equipe's 78-year history? Wrong. It is now 16. Ben Smith. The boy from Bathafarn. Magic performance capped off by 2 stunning strikes. Tickets already sold out for his highlights reel screening at Canolfan Gellifor. UTFT 🍊
Big congrats to the gaffer
@CatonBuilding
and Bala for getting into Europe once again, if there’s a few spare seats on the plane you know where we are..👀
Huge Congrats to these young guns today becoming the U16s Champions. Enjoy tonight boys, get yourself to Goldie for a pint of cordial, maybe even some Pork Scratchings, Really push the boat out. The future is bright, the future is tangerine.

Well its been a tough start for the tangerine young guns, starting the campaign with 2 losses. But as the ultras reminded us, this is how we started our title winning campaign so the tangerine dream is still alive and well!! Could probs do with 3 points on Monday though.

Apologies for the lateness but the Hafal faithful have only just woke up from last nights antics - celebrating the club’s first 6 point week of the season😍 two derby wins was celebrated by spending all the transfer kitty - we no longer need it as we are just class UTFH🍊🍊🍊🍊
A battling performance tonight vs Nantglyn. Pissed with the cock we got and played with 10, 2-0 doenthen a Humphreys hat-trick including a 35 yard lob sent all 5 of the Hafal faithful ballistic. Score ended 3-3 but will take a point any day of the week, onto Monday🔶

How do you become as adored as Robbie Diss in Llangynhafal? Well, it’s impossible, but scoring a hatrick for the tangerines gets you closer and that’s exactly what Diss jnr did on Monday. Stuff of Gods. Great win on the road, onto Thursday 🍊

Horrific Transfer Window for Hafal so far, 4 major outs, 0 replacements. Fans fuming. Eggs thrown at Llangynhafal Community Center tonight, Protest Banners outside the goldie. Tensions are high in the Village.
