Penrhyncoch Reserves will play their semi-final against Llandrindod on Monday the 10th of March at Rhayader. Kick off will be at 7.30pm. The tie is subjest to 1. Llandod can get a side. 2. The secretary has checked her diary. 3. The floodlights in Rhayader are working and that Dylan McPhee remembers to switch them on.

The Emrys Morgan semi-final between Penrhyncoch Reserves and Llandrindod has been postponed for the second time. Llandrindod are claiming they have a under 18 match the same night, how the secretary failed to see this with less than 36 hours before kick off is a bit strange. New date has yet to be confirmed.

Former player/manager of Penrhyncoch, John James, will be the host at Llandyrnog tomorrow. John played in goal for a number of years before he moved away from the area due to his work. Our record against his side reads, played 4 won 4, at Llandyrnog and Penrhyn will once again be looking for all 3 points. They go into the match in good spirits after a solid win against Gresford and a narrow defeat against promotion hopefuls, Bala. With games running out, only 4 of the final 11 will be away from home after this weekend which will be a blessing after a tough season. Steven Hughes retains his place with 16 year old David Griffiths also included in the squad but Graham Thomas is injured.

The date of the Emrys Morgan Semi-Final is now set for Wednesday the 5th of March at Newtown FC. Kick off, 7.30pm.

Penrhyn face a massive six pointer on saturday when they entertain Gresford at Cae Baker. Gavin Allen will be well aware of the importance of the game in their bid to move away from the lower regions of the league. He includes Huw Jones and veteran Steve Hughes to the squad as he tries to find a winning formula in what has become a relegation dog fight. Mark Douglas Jones, who inpressed last week in Buckley, is also named in the squad and according to Allen there will be a few surprises when he names his starting line-up.

Gavin Allen has made an official approach for Bow Street's Mark Gornall in an attempt to lure him back to the club. Gornall left the club for the Mid Wales side at the begining of the season after a diagreement with the management but, Allen feels that the experienced campaigner will be a valuable addition to the squad. Penrhyn face a tough match tomorrow when they travel to Anglesey to take on Glantraeth who have won the past 3 encounters at home against their visitors. The player boss still has a couple of injury worries, Mark Egan (groin), Joe Sherwood (flu) and Tim Turner (back) being his main concerns. 

Aberystwyth Town 3rds assistant manager, Barry Rowlands, has written to the Cambrian Tyres League complaining about the postponement of the match between Penrhyn Res and Aber 3rds last saturday (15th). Rowlands, former Penrhyn Res.manager, has allegedly stated that the club canceled the match when the pitch was fit to play on. We (Penrhyn on-line) wish to ask Aberystwyth Town FC whether the letter was an official club letter or just from the individual. Having struggled all season, suprisingly the Town's 3rds wanted to play. Was this due to the fact that the Aber Res.game was off?

Penrhyn travel to Wrexham on saturday to face the current basement boys of the league in their first game for three weeks. Lex will not be easy as they try to claw their way back up the table after a poor start to the season. Gavin Allen has hinted that he will be busy in January when the transfer window re opens and hopes to sign at least 3 new players. He welcomes back Liam Hinton-Jones who has been sidelined with a groin problem but is missing Iwan Roberts and Tim Turner in what is a crucial game to avoid being dragged back in the relegation zone.

Penrhyncoch face a tough task on saturday when they travel up to league leaders Prestatyn. Gavin Allen will be looking to build on the performance against Guilsfield when they produced their best showing this year. He has virtually a full squad to choose from with only Iwan Roberts out through suspension and Allen himself out with a knee problem. Prestatyn will be a stern test as they lead the league by 6 points over Bala but the player boss has faith in his young side and will be looking to get something out of the game.

Penrhyncoch welcome Guilsfield to Cae Baker tonight (wednesday) in what can only be described as a must win game for the home side. With 4 out of the next 6 games away, Gavin Allen's men must be looking to bag all three points against an in-form Guilsfield team who recently knocked out Connahs Quay in the Welsh Cup. He has selection worries with Liam Hinton-Jones, Dave Gregory and Allen himself all out injured and with Cieran Cotter away on holiday, this will be a massive test for the squad. One piece of good news is that the transfer of Gari Lewis looks certain to go ahead in the new year, he has been training with the club and hopes to finalise the move soon.

Llanfair PG is one of three home games on the trot for Penrhyncoch on saturday and the home side will hopeing there will be no repeat of last years match when the ref sent three Penrhyn players off. Gavin Allen will be looking to bounce back with a strong performance after the mauling last week in Holyhead, he is likely to make a number of changes to the team in the search of three points. Toby Spain is dropped to the subs bench while Ben Sherbon and Elwyn Edwards return after a week in the reserves. The player boss has been busy this week in trying to get Aberystwyth mid-fielder Gari Lewis on loan, born and bred in Penrhyn, Lewis was on the verge of completing the move when the Welsh FA steped in to block the deal. According to the rules, no player can move until January 1st unless he is on contract.

Penrhyn travel to the furthest point possible tomorrow as they visit Holyhead Hotspurs with the knowlage that a win will see them climb into the top six of the league. The hosts are in a similar position to us in the league but  results at Holyhead are difficult to come by, therefore Gavin Allen's troops will have to perform well to get anything out of the game. He has almost a full stength squad to choose from with only the player boss himself unavailable through injury. Toby Spain returns in goal after Dave Gregory's comendable debut last week and, with many of the squad playing for the reserves, there is a real battle for places in the side. With only the league and the Central Wales cup to play for this season everyone should be focused on a good placing in the table.

Penrhyncoch manager, Gavin Allen, has chosen a youthful looking side for the visit of GAP Queen's Park tomorrow in the first round of the league cup. He has decided to rest a number of key players and intends to start quite a few teenagers. Toby Spain, Joe Sherwood, Mark Egan, Tim Turner, Dylan James and Chris Wilkins are all given a much needed break from the starting line up and there will be starts for reserve players, Dave Gregory, Ben Sherbon, and Ashley Stephens. This is an obvious gamble from the player boss but he does have a lot of faith in the youth players from the second team and, against big spenders GAP there wont be a stiffer test for these lads.

Anglesey based team Bodedern have withdrawn from the Cymru Alliance. A statement from their web-site states a lack of players available to play in the Cymru Alliance but will continue to field a side in the Gwynedd league. Although this is a great shame for Bodedern and we wish them well in the future, it's good news for Penrhyn as we have yet to play them and the teams above us will have the points won against Bodedern taken off. It is likely that the Roosters will climb another 2 places and will not have to make the 200 mile round journey to the back of beyond.

This is a vital game for Penrhyn if they are to pull away from the lower regions of the league as Gresford sit below them, news also from the league suggests that the game featuring GAP Queen's Park and Bodedern has been postponed due to Bodedern failing to raise a team.

Their host's have made some big signings this year after a massive cash injection from a local businessman and are one of the biggest spenders in the league. Gavin Allen's men on the other hand can look to cause an upset after some promising results of late against Llanfair PG and Lex. Martin  Naughton is suspended after his dissmisal last week and James Shields is still away but their's a welcome return for Elwyn Edwards who has not featured this year after injury in pre season.

Martin Naughton had been rumored that he wanted a transfer to Aberystwyth but has now decided to stay with Gavin Allen . Naughton is included in the 14 to play Lex IX on saturday in which is proving to be a must win game for the home side. With no league game for 3 weeks after saturday, Allen will be looking for all 3 points to pull away from the lower regions of the table.

Penrhyncoch take a break from league action tomorrow when they travel to Spar Mid-Wales side Carno in the 1st round of the Welsh Cup. After last year's exploits when the club lost out to Llanelli, Gavin Allen's team will hope to repeat the run. The cup is very lucrative to the club and has cash rewards for every match won, the further we go the more money we win. He has chosen a mixture of youth and experience with the inclusion of Owain James and the promising Ben Sherbon and has a full squad to select from.

The temptation of League of Wales football was enough for Sion Meredith to leave Penrhyncoch this week. Caersws manager Mike Barton had previously put 7 days notice on the forward after impressing him in the 4-1 drubbing of Guilsfield, where he scored 3 goals. This is a massive blow for Gavin Allen and the club but with a greater financial offering it was always going to be difficult to keep hold of him. Everyone at Penrhyncoch FC wishes Sion well and we hope to see him back at the club soon.

Joe Sherwood (hip), Iwan Roberts, Josh Shaw (cricket), player/boss (back) and Mark Gornall (transfered to Bow Street) are all unavailable. Nevertheless he still has a talented squad to choose from and will be looking to come home with the points. News also from the club is that Caersws have placed 7 days notice on S.Meredith, the ex-Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Welshpool player has been on top form since his arrival in pre-season and Allen is determind to keep his major signing.

Penrhyn travel to their nearest Mid-Wales rivals tonight (50+miles) looking for the first victory of the season. Our record in Guilsfield has been good over the past seasons with 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 encounters. Guilsfiled are starting a new era under new boss Graham Evans after the departure of Mike Barton to L.O.W. side Caersws, he has signed a number of new players from neighbouring teams and will also be looking for their first points of the season after a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Llandudno over the weekend. Penrhyn on the other hand will be full of confidence after a creditable 2-2 result against league moneybags GAP Queen's Park. Gavin Allen has decided to shuffle his squad slightly and will choose from: T.Spain, M.Egan, T.Turner, J.Shields, C.Cotter, I.Roberts, C.Wilkins, S.Fraser, G.Allen, D.James, J.Shaw, LL.Hughes, A.Stephens, T.Jones.

(For details go to 'Match Report' & 'Res,3rds')

Penrhyn kick off the new season with a tough home tie against Queen's Park tomorrow. Having ended last year rock bottom, the Wrexham based club have had a remarkable change around with a major cash injection from a local business (GAP). The club have signed a number of former L.O.W. players this year and have Roger Preece, the ex Newtown boss, as their coach.

Gavin Allen's squad have one or two injury worries, Elwyn Edwards will be missing for a while with a broken ankle, Dave Gregory has a sore neck while Tony Jones faces a late fitness check. Tim Turner is also rated 50/50 due to his presence at the Welsh golf team championships held at Carmarthen golf club, also missing are Josh Shaw and Iwan Roberts because of cricket commitments. His squad is made up from the following:

Toby Spain, Dylan James, Llyr Hughes, Mark Gornall, Tim Turner, James Shields, Stuart Fraser, Chris Wilkins, Mark Davies, Tony Jones, Gavin Allen, Ceiron Cotter, Martin Naughton, Sion Meredith, Joe Sherwood, Mark Egan.

Penrhyn Reserves also start their campaign tomorrow with a tricky match against Aberdyfi away. Jonny 'Bobble' Evans will be boosted by the strong first team squad this year and with the introduction of, one player one club, the reserves will be a difficult side to beat. Aberdyfi will be far from easy as they always seem to be strong at the start of a new season.

17/08/07

Matty Davies has been released by Gavin Allen to go back with Cambrian Tyres league outfit Penparcau. With very little known regarding the reason, everyone at PFC wishes Matty all the best for the forthcoming season.

13/08/07

Highly experienced player Sion Meredith put pen to paper on Thursday (aug 1st) by signing for the club for the forthcoming season. Meredith who has previously played for Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Welshpool in the league of Wales has commited himself for the up and coming campaign. His record in top flight football reads, played 193 and scoring 29 goals. His signing, along with three or four others, must please manager Gavin Allen and shows the club moving in the right direction. With the squad now complete, it's all eyes on that all important first game against the league favourites, GAP Queens Park on the 18th of August.

A mixture of 1st and 2nds will play 2 games this week. Thursday we welcome Tywyn & Bryncrug (ko 7.30) to Cae Baker after the fixture was postponed last week due to the bad weather. On friday, Rhayader will travel down to play us (ko 7.30) with the ever popular Dylan McPhee in charge of the side.

Tonight's game has been postponed due a waterlogged pitch. The game tomorrow which features the reserves against Tywyn & Bryncrug is also a doubt. There will be an inspection in the morning.

The Chairman Mr G Thomas would like to express his deep concern on various reports contained within this site - he would like to report that at a full committee meeting in was resolved that all senior teams would play in the same kit. The ex- reserve team manager did not adhere to this and ordered a kit prior to the 1st team who it was passed, the other two teams would follow.

The Chair is anxious to put the record straight.

I would like to add that this site was opened up to report on the Club - if anyone has been upset or put out then I can only state that whats put on is not necessary the webmasters opinion. I believe that there is a need for a new webmaster, If anyone is willing to take over then please log on to www.freeserve.com and the username is penrhyncoch with the password ******. These can then be changed to reflect the new webmasters preference. 

This webmaster has resigned, the 3rd that has been in place since the start - good luck to the next one and good luck to the team for the rest of the season.

Bye.

Barry Rowlands has stepped down as Res team manager in a call to the Chairman on Monday evening - without knowing any details we cannot comment as to the reason.  After a meeting on Tuesday, Johnny Evans (Bobble), last years 2nd team assistant has accepted the managers position with Gethin Williams as the new assistant.

All players and Comittee at the Club wish Barry well for the future.  We hope that he will stay at the club as a player

Thanks to Gav and Bones for this info - plenty food for thought - come and see the lads prior to the big KO 18/8/07 (h) v GAP QUENNS PARK

Well it was hard - thats what my sources say about the first 3 sessions of trianing last Friday and this Tuesday and Thursday - a good turnout, a good laugh and a thumbs up to Kev Bryan is the verdict. Hard work put in now will reap benefits in the season there's no doubt about that so well done lads and keep it up.

The first's have there first friendly on Monday night at Cae Baker against newly promoted Spar Mid Wales League side Bow Street  - ko is at 7.00pm I believe - then, according to an e-mail from Bones the Reserves and Thirds will continue to train on Tuesday and Thursday at Cae Cwmbwa (top pitch) at 6.30pm.

Bones would like me to point out that next Friday the Junior Section has its presentation night from 6.00pm to 8.30pm - with over 60 players in our Junior Section please try and pop in to see and support our future stars - from our U16's to our U7's - Gavin Allen will be in attendance as the first team also have a friendly at home that night - so with a bit of luck the youngsters will be able to see the firsts in action for a while. There will be a BBQ and Raffle with all proceeds going towards the Juniors. Well done to the Junior Section Coaches - Geriant, Kev Lewis, Stan, Bones and Debs.

Stan Richards has been tempted away to the big Green and Black apple to run Aber Thirds - do we wish him the best  - of course unless he's playing against Penrhyn.

It's all gone a bit quiet this week - players signed on last week after meeting the new management team - apparantly we've got a head start on the rivals for our Res and Thirds because if you sign for the first team on the Cymru Alliance form you can also sign for the Res and Thirds.

About 25 odd players have signed to date - more to come

Will keep all the Penrhyn Fans updated as soon as I hear anything - it's costing me a bomb going from cafe to cafe to find out the snippets of info etc. I am plucking courage up to make an appearance in the Club prior to the season - the last time I was there was at a mates 21st party - what a night.

More to come!!!!!!!!! 

Hi folks - you may notice that some of the pages have now been cleared  - don't worry its only so that they can be refreshed with the latest info as soon as its available - no news of friendly fixtures as yet for any of the Senior Teams - also remember we will have a Youth Team this year in the Mid Wales League - info has it that Bones is in charge - who else!!!! - along with Jon Bobble, Carwyn and Ffred/Sion James when available.

Looks like an exicting year for our U18's - don't forget we also have 4 teams in the Bow Street Tournament on 14/15th July - I understand from the grapvine that we'll have the U9's on Sat the U14 girls,U16 boys and our U7's will be on Sunday - why not venture down to see the stars of the future. Remember the work that Geriant, Kevin Lewis, Debs and Bones does with these kids.

Apparently there was a very interesting football club committee meeting a couple of weeks ago - my inside source tells me that a few dinosaurs have been found alive and well - although the source did not want to enlarge on there throw away comment in a cafe in town as I think they realised they had said too much  infront of the audience - damm if only he had.

Thats it for now - will keep digging and listening - remember this is your club - you have a right to be kept in the picture - I won't be able to report myself for the next week or so because I'm - well that'll give it away won't it -

Hi folks we're back on line for the new season and after my travels - plenty to discuss this week after the Club Presentation night as you can hardly call it a Dinner in that sense can you is what I hear - I'll give a full run down of the awards etc later. I have been asked to point out that the behaviour of some of the Clubs players at the event was rather less than desired and these players need to take a long hard look at themselves - and some of them want more for next year - you must be having a laugh.

1ST TEAM

PLAYER OF THE YEAR - JAMES SHEILDS - not an example shown by him to our youngsters I assure you at his acceptance speech.

TOP GOALSCORER - GAVIN ALLEN - who else?

CLUB CAPTAIN  - JON FOLINO - he'll be back

2ND TEAM

PLAYER OF THE YEAR - STUART DAVIES - fully deserved - grew in stature through the season.

TOP GOALSCORER - JOSH SHAW - potential

CAPTAIN - GETHIN WILLIAMS - great year

3RD TEAM

PLAYER OF THE YEAR - MARTIN EVANS - must be knocking on the door of the reserves now.

TOP GOALSCORER - DANNY HARRIES - lucky he's not playing in the nick team next season

CAPTAIN - STAN RICHARDS - stuck with the team through thick and thin

The night was presented by Richie Jenkins - why can't we have someone else for a change? - he did allright. Entertainment was provided by Dan Pritchard - oops sorry Jon Busson - he was ace. The food was superb and thanks to Anita, Debs and Alleyne - also to Chas, Shan, Eben, Matt, Roger, Neil and Bones during the day - thanks to Becky and her staff - brilliant.

Special mention to Neil Taxis who won the best dressed person award - well done and thanks for all the driving.

Next year we've got to try another approach to the end of season bash - lets go away from the Club - book a date now - find the cost and let people know well in advance - take all the hassle away and let the people who really work hard behind the scences have a ball - just think about it - no need to prepare food - no need to clean up the puke and all that - lets get smartly dressed - women and all - and enjoy.

The Penrhyncoch Football Club end of season dinner will be held this Friday at Penrhyncoch social club from 7:00PM, all are invited and we hope for a good turn out to support the club as all three teams will be present for the great food and the presentations for the players. Penrhyncoch Online will be present to witness the awards and hope that everyone assosciated with the club will be present also ready to steer the club forward for next season.

Penrhyncoch signed off their season with a 3-1 victory over Llandyrnog on Friday Night, the Roosters went into the match trying to climb above their opponents and did so with ten men after Graham Thomas had been sent off early on. Two goals from Mark Gornal and one from Chris Wilkins made sure the Roosters climbed into 14th spot to end the campaign. It has been a very unstable season with penrhyn in the relegation places for most of the season but with a brilliant end of season run which saw just 3 defeats in their last 14 outings saw the Roosters climb the table after most thought it impossible. The season has been an interesting one with many highs and lows but has made good viewing at times, the end of season awards is now on the site so take a look and keep checking us out as with Penrhyn we're sure the close season will see many comings and goings and plenty of gossip to talk about. We would like to thank Carwyn Jenkins, Gavin Allen, BONES and Debbie Jenkins for their support this season and their massive help in keeping us up to date with all parts of the club and look forward to seeing everyone next season where hopefully the team can start as they've finished this season.
