Latest 'View from Richmond Park' column
The latest 'View from Richmond Park' column from this week's issue of the Carmarthen Journal -
Congratulations go to Carmarthen Town AFC manager Tomi Morgan, who has received his UEFA Pro Licence at the FAW Awards Dinner.
Tomi was presented with his Pro Licence by World Cup and Euro 2000 winner Marcel Desailly and former Cardiff City manager Lennie Lawrence.
The qualification takes a year to complete and consists of a minimum of 240 hours, of which 90 hours are practical, and is aimed at dealing with situations familiar to top class managers.
Modules such as handling top-class players, using the latest technology, analysing opponents’ strengths and weaknesses and dealing with player’s problems on and off the pitch are all covered in the course.

We are now entering the Football Association of Wales’s ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ Fortnight of Action, October 15-31.
Before kick-off this weekend, players from every Welsh Premier League team in Wales will be united in calling for a racism-free environment in football and society throughout Wales.
Players in 35 European countries are involved in similar events as part of the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) network against racism and discrimination.
Show Racism the Red Card is calling for a joint effort to make racist abuse as unacceptable in Welsh society as it has become in professional football.
While racism has reduced in the professional game it is still occurring on a daily basis in society and within grass roots football.
The support from the Welsh Premier League clubs has helped the campaign throughout Wales over the past years.
This season will see all WPL clubs involved in educational workshops delivered to local school children around Wales promoting the anti-racism message.
An anti racist team poster has been sponsored by the FAW.
Andrew Howard, FAW Head of Competitions, said: “The Fortnight of Action, which Show Racism the Red Card coordinates in Wales, is a hugely important event in the Football Calendar.
“The Football Association of Wales believes that the support from its clubs during this campaign will help to educate and re-educate football fans of all ages in order to stamp out the threat of racism in the terraces and on the football pitches in Wales.”
If you see or hear racism at any level of football, please report it to the club, stewards or the police. Further details of the campaign can be found at - www.theredcardwales.org

Town will travel to Glanhafod Park to take on Welsh League outfit Goytre United in the third round of the Welsh Cup.

Goytre are currently fourth in Division 1, one point behind leaders Bridgend Town, and will prove formidable opposition for Town. Ties to be played on or before Saturday, November 6.
