The home of the Rockers
Early Season fixtures announced
Graig FC have once again been pitted against Cardiff Draconians in their first game of the new South Wales Amateur League season. The lanterns season will start on Wednesday August 20th with an 18:30 start. The Graig may also have a Groundhoppers game against Trelewis Welfare with a 7pm kick off on a Saturday night sure to impress the Rockers. The final game in August will be against league new-comers Wyndham FC where the Graig will entertain the new boys at Ynysangharad park. Then they will all know about the pipe.....
League fixtures for August in full:-
Wed 20th August - Cardiff Draconians (Away)
Sat 23rd August - Trelewis Welfare (Away) *This game is subject to change due to the draw for the FAW Trophy.
Sat 30th August - Wyndham FC (Home)
Later kick off for return Trehafod leg.
Round two of the pre-season friendlies with Trehafod will kick off at 3:30pm this coming Saturday the 12th July.
An entertaining 3-3 draw in the first game saw both sides using a lot of players and the ever changing sides threw the football manual out of the window and the entertainment would not have been for the football purist.
Both sides are again expecting to field teams with a lot of changes this Saturday as the clubs start to limber up for the coming season.
Onwards and Upwards..
New website to go live by month end
The launch of the new Graig FC website should be ready to roll by the end of July. Lee Driscoll has worked hard on the project of setting up a new website that will see members sign in with a user name so as to stop all the problems currently experienced on the current sites that are running..
Hopefully www.Graigfc.com can promote the club that little bit higher and will include several pages of interest to all visiting readers.
