Jack Christopher signs for Carmarthen


Carmarthen Town AFC have completed their first new signing of the season.
Despite strong competition from several other clubs, Jack Christopher made the decision to join the Old Gold.
A proven goal scorer in the Welsh Premier League with Haverfordwest County, he will bring added potency to the Town forward line.
Christopher scored 71 goals for Haverfordwest in 114 (+29 subs) appearances.
Manager Tomi Morgan was delighted with his new signing.
“Jack has proved himself at this level and will bring something extra into the squad. Despite some very good offers from other clubs we managed to sell Carmarthen Town to him and I was extremely pleased when he put pen to paper.”
Town also completed another signing over the weekend when defender Kyle Graves committed himself to the Old Gold.
Graves, a former Swansea City professional, has made 97 appearances in the Welsh Premier League while playing for Neath and Haverfordwest County.
Morgan stated: “I have always been impressed with Kyle when he has lined up against us and jumped at the chance to sign a young but experienced defender.“
The Executive Chairman Gareth Jones was quick to praise the efforts of his manager:
“I know that Tomi worked really hard to get both of the signings which will add to the competition for places in his starting line up. With the quality of players we have attracted it says a lot about the club and the manager and that they want to play for Carmarthen Town.”
Jones also praised Haverfordwest County Football Club for the professional way they dealt with the Christopher transfer.
“As a club we were kept fully informed by Haverfordwest of any developments and once Jack indicated that he only wanted to join Carmarthen Town the deal was concluded almost immediately without any problems”
The E H Factors and Clothing sponsored Carmarthen Town were also very hopeful of completing two further transactions before the end of the week.
“With other teams having strengthened their squads in the last few weeks we have waited patiently for players to make decisions concerning their futures and have also, now, made significant signings. This will be a sign to the other teams in the league that we intend to have a very competitive line up for the coming season.”
Town will hold their AGM at the Carmarthen Town Football Club Community Centre on Thursday evening commencing at 7pm.

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers.
