CLUB NOTES AND UPDATES
Welcome to Parc Ynysderw for this Dragon Signs Amateur Trophy Quarter Final against Prestatyn Town. We welcome The Seasiders to Parc Ynysderw and hope that they enjoy their visit and have a safe journey home. We also welcome our Match Officials led by Referee Rob Fulford.
It has been a worrying week weatherwise here in South Wales and, due to Prestatyn Town’s travel arrangements, we were requested to make a decision on the game Friday lunchtime. At that time the pitch was wet but playable with a mixed bag of weather forecasts. It was a tough decision and the game was called ON with the hope that the best weather forecast was the one that was right.
Prestatyn Town earned the right to travel here today with a win against Rhondda based AFC Wattstown on penalties after a 1-1 draw in real time. They are also in good form in the Ardal North sitting in 5th place. We know it is going be a tough game here today but it is definitely one we are relishing as this is an exciting competition to part of.
Last week we dug in to get our first points of the year with a 3-2 win over Goytre United. Goals from Kyle Copp, Luke Roberts and, the winner from, Josh Dorward gave us a win which overall we deserved. We return to league action next week here at Parc Ynysderw when we host Cardiff Corinthians.
