Carmarthen Town AFC latest column in Carmarthen Journal
The 'View from Richmond Park' column from this week's edition of the Carmarthen Journal . . .
Carmarthen Town AFC’s Richmond Park ground played host to the club’s 12th Fete and Primary School Football Tournament
With matches keenly contested many of the games had to be decided by extra time and penalties.
Ysgol Parc Y Tywyn won the boys Under 9 competition beating Ysgol Peniel in a penalty shoot-out after extra time failed to produce a winner.
In the Boys Under 11 competition it needed a ‘Golden Goal’ for Ysgol Dewi Sant to beat Swiss Valley School by the narrowest of margins.
A unique result in the girl’s competition saw Ysgol Y Tymbl and Ysgol Dewi Sant share the honours after extra time and penalties were unable to separate the two sides.
The Small Schools trophy was won by Ysgol Ffairfach and Ysgol Nantgaredig won the Roger Evans Memorial Award as the team that best encompassed the spirit of footballing throughout the tournament.
Thanks to Councillor Alan Speake for opening the event and presenting the trophies and to referees Ray Squires, Gareth Davies, Phil Grice and Kieran Davies for officiating throughout the day.
A very big thank you to all those that supported the event in any way but especially the schools that took part and competed so well in such a fine spirit to produce an excellent day’s football in what is Carmarthenshire's only schools competition.
Congratulations are due to Town midfielder Ben Morris who graduated with top honours from Aberystwyth University recently.
