Non League Football

My team reached the last 16 of the Welsh cup yesterday overcoming our near neighbours in a local derby match. 0-0 at the end but we came out on top on penalties. We’re now 1 of only 2 tier three teams left in the competition…. Hoping for a nice home draw again next round. This is the furthest we’ve progressed in this cup for many a year.
Official attendance for this was 747, not bad for a tier 3 team

By the process of elimination I am guessing you are a Holyhead Hotspur fan Kurt. I am a Connahs Quay Nomads fan who are having a really rough season due to losing a lot of there players at the end of last season and having a new manager who is taking time to settle.

Hello mate, yeah. We played Trearddur bay yesterday … everyone in Welsh football knows what’s going on with them packing their squad with highly paid players from all around…. But this is the second time we’ve beaten them this season.
Can’t honestly say I’ve watched much of Connah quay but many years ago I was managing our under 18’s team in the north wales cup and we came up against you guys. You had a very very good squad with one or two Welsh schoolboy players I seem to recall, and the manager at the time was a real gent, can’t recall his name properly but does Jay Caton ring a bell ? I could be wrong but I believe he later became involved with the Welsh schoolboy set up.

One of the guys I go to Nomads with mentioned the situation with Trearddur Bay. Obviously I have heard of them but really don't know a lot about them. Yes Jay Catton is a good guy and is our Director of Football at the moment and been at the Nomads many years and our youth teams are still very good indeed. Nomads lost 14 players at the end of last season and brought just 6 in and depending on youth team players to fill the gaps left so was always going to be a testing time.

It’s getting more and more difficult to progress through the tiers now. A few teams are getting bank rolled, a small club like ours find it very difficult to compete with others near us to get players in. Wish you all the very best for the rest of the season 👍
 
Huge win for Marine today, winning 2-0 at home to Northern Powerhouses Needham Market (located 4 miles from Ipswich).

Win and no wins from any other side I. Bottom 10 puts within touching distance of safety with a huge week after.

Spennymoor H on Tuesday
Southport A on Saturday, the first league meeting for 30 years, should be quite the spectacle.

Oh and the Purps lost their 8th game in a row and are bottom of the league, following a loss to their former Landlords Bootle . This after half their squad left and they appointed a v unpopular manager.
 

@welshtoffee we play you next Saturday at your place, it’s one place I’ve not played at or visited before, looking forward to it 👍
That is actually Connahs Quay Town who play at the Deeside Stadium. I support Connahs Quay Nomads who used to play at Deeside but now play at the Essisty Stadium in Flint. I wish Nomads would move back to Deeside as its a grass pitch and only 1 mile away from my home.
