23 July 2008 Risca United are seeking a new physio to work with the first team and management team of Jeff Eckhardt and Nathan Wigg. The vacancy has become available after current physio, Mathew Farrell, has been offered a great opportunity to join the staff at Newport County. The club would like wish Mathew all the very best. If you are interested please contact Stuart Luckwell on 07950 753629.
BARRY TOWN SEEK NEXT STEP23 July 2008 Barry Town Chairman, Stuart Lovering, is offering the club for sale for just £250k if a genuine football person or group are interested. The Club is currently on the market for £395k with international business agents Turner Butler who independently valued the Club at £500k to £750k. Barry Town are enjoying a revival after comfortably gaining promotion last year under one of Welsh football’s most promising Managers, Gavin Chesterfield. Such has been the buzz around the Jenner Park Club that the Town have been attracting over 20 players for every training session with some of the top players in the Division attracted to the history, facilities, and management at the club. However, Lovering says money is still tight and only a limited budget can be offered this season. “I have invested £60k in refurbishing the clubhouse to ensure the long term success and funding of the team – but this loan needs to be repaid and I have to draw an income as I work full-time at the Club. Without having to pay back the loan and my drawings, Barry Town is perfectly capable of being self-funding so anyone who bought the Club would not need to put any more money into it – and still have a decent budget for a successful team at Division One and Welsh Premier level. Net annual turnover of the business based mainly around the Bar Clubhouse is 200k to 250k. About half that goes to the brewery – the rest is left over for wages, overheads and the team.” “It is very frustrating for everyone that the self-funding cannot be unlocked at present. I stepped in to save the Club in December 2003 from bankruptcy and now Barry Town has no debt, a quality Clubhouse, a youth set-up and a constantly building relationship with the 60,000 population of Barry, as shown by the Open Day at Jenner Park last Saturday attended by hundreds of people. This is a very secure base on which to continue the Barry Town revival.” The Manager and players are brilliant in their support for fundraising. Over 15 players were present at the Open Day and they are committed to being part of the Club not just the team – by supporting Club nights every few weeks like the Open Day, Golf Day (Friday August 8th at Wenvoe Golf Club £200 a team of four. Contact Club on 01446 735858 if you wish to enter a team), a Race Night, a Football Night and so on. We are also getting more sponsors coming forward every year.” “If anyone out there has the finance to buy the Club I would urge them to pick up the phone and speak to the agents Turner Butler. The season will soon be on us and the Manager really needs to know he can sign the quality players now. Players are prepared to come to Barry Town for a half or a third of what other clubs are offering – just because it’s Barry Town and the Manager is so respected. It would be a tragedy if Barry Town were to slip back now, possibly never to recover. Some businesses should even consider buying the club as an investment renaming the Club after their business name eg ‘ABC’ Barry Town to gain enormous publicity – the way Mike Harris did at TNS which helped him sell his business for £12 million a few years later!” Barry Town have confirmed their pre-season friendly with a Swansea City XI at Jenner Park for Saturday August 9th at 2pm. Prices are £5 adult, £4 OAP, £3 Student/Benefits, £1 Children). Seats have now been thrown open to the public for the day trip to Barnstaple on Saturday August 2nd. Anyone fancying a cheap day trip to Barnstaple, north Devon at just £15 each should contact the Club on 01446 735858. Rob Toon of Turner Butler can be contacted on 07748 966665 or 01895 256000. Stuart Lovering 07751 441561.

Saturday 19 July 2008Caerau (Ely) 1 - 5 Ton PentrePre-Season Friendly from Ton Pentre FC Ton Pentre travelled to MacWhirter Welsh League Division Two outfit Caerau Ely for their first pre-season friendly as the Rhondda Bulldogs began their preparations for the 2008-09 campaign with a fine win. Ton were parading several new signings in their starting eleven with Christopher Jones (from Caerleon) and Jacob Daly (from Pontypridd Town) both putting in excellent displays in attack. The Rhondda Bulldogs also welcomed back former Club Captain Andrew Seburn who returns from a lengthy injury that has kept him sidelined for the past two seasons. For this friendly Ryan Betteney kept watch between the goalposts as last season’s youth team keeper looks to replace the retired Marty Ellacott. Leon Jacka, another youth team product, was also included in Kevin Richards’ starting eleven and was impressive. Ton Pentre took the lead in this match through an own goal after 12 minutes when Ryan Morgan’s long ball forward from defence was sent too long for Jones to chase. A Caerau Ely defender looked to direct the ball back to his keeper but instead headed it past their man in goal who had come off his line to collect. The home team looked reasonably sharp having already played in a 5-0 pre-season match defeat against Welsh Premier champions Llanelli in their preparation for the UEFA Champions League, but were unable to find any joy in the final third of the pitch during the first half. Ton grabbed a second goal in the 42nd minute through Jones who rounded off a lovely move that saw Jacka play the ball inside from the right to Seburn, who in turn set the former Caerleon player up for his strike. Just over a minute later it was 3-0 when Phil Clarke’s clearance up field fell to Jones who jinked his way around the last man to round the goalkeeper and side foot into an empty net. On 51 minutes Caerau Ely pulled a goal back from a nice angled strike on the edge of the box. Betteney did well to make contact with the effort but he was unable to stop it from top left destination. Jacka was again involved in the build up to another goal when his magnificent through ball from halfway up the right wing unleashed Daly to cut inside and finish well past the helpless goalkeeper to make it 4-1 after 61 minutes. Ton Pentre completed the afternoon’s goalscoring 15 minutes from time when Andrew Hughes won the ball in defence with a powerful header up field that was collected by ex-Taffs Well midfielder Lloyd Toghill. He struck low and hard from 20 yards to make it 5-1. Ton Pentre’s scheduled friendly match with Merthyr Saints on August 2nd has been cancelled. Therefore, the remaining pre-season fixtures are as follows:

MORALE-BOOSTER FOR NEWPORT CIVIL SERVICE Newport Civil Service 4, Croesyceiliog 2 Pre-season friendly 17 July 2008 by Ray Parker MacWhirter Welsh League newcomers Newport Civil Service gained a morale-boosting success over Gwent rivals Croesyceiliog at their Shannon Close ground in Bettws this evening. And Civil Service, who came from behind to achieve their success, can also be encouraged by Croesyceiliog’s success over a relatively short period. Croesyceiliog have risen to the league’s top flight and are only in their fifth season of membership. Croesyceiliog took a seventh-minute lead through Jody Jenkins after Civil Service goalkeeper Chris Jones had spectacularly turned Jamie Jenkins long-range shot onto the crossbar, Jody reacting very smartly to open the scoring. But Civil Service’s reply was swift, scoring two rapid goals, the first after 13 minutes through Mark Millinchip and Croesyceiliog didn’t have time to recover before Nicky Cadman gave the Welsh Autoparts Gwent County League champions a 2-1 lead and it could so easily have been three, Cadman’s shot striking a post. However, Civil Service went into the break with a two-goal lead, player-manager Ben Burrows, clipping a long-range shot over the advancing John Bailey. Michael Dewar pulled a goal back early in the second-half but within a few minutes Luke Whitham ensured a Civil Service win. Civil Service are at home to Newport YMCA on Saturday (kick-off 3.0pm), following a meeting between the clubs’ youth teams (kick-off 12.30pm). Civil Service’s season begins with a short trip to Gwent rivals Goytre in the Welsh Cup on August 16. Croesyceiliog, who lost at 3-1 at Western League club Welton Rovers last Saturday travel to Blaenavon this Saturday.
