Carmarthen to host Welsh League Champs
Carmarthen Town bring their pre-season to an end on Saturday with an attractive home fixture against Welsh League champions, Bryntirion Athletic.
Bryntirion finished five points clear at the top of the table from Afan Lido last season.
Lido, of course, had applied to join the Welsh Premier League and their application was successful.
Therefore this should prove to be a very good test for Tomi Morgan’s squad.
Morgan has completed some more signings over the weekend.
Both Richard Hughes and Nicky Palmer, from last season’s squad, put pen to paper, while defender Craig Hanford returns after a season with Afan Lido.
Central defender Steve Berry also joins the club having spent last season playing in Sweden
The Old Gold are also in discussions with last season’s keeper Michael Lewis.
Lewis has been training and playing with Newport County during the summer but has suggested that he would appreciate a return to Richmond Park.
The keeper was the Player of the Year and Supporters Player of the Year for last season.
Lewis’s back-up and coach for last season, Shane Earp, has also committed himself to the E H Factors and Clothing-sponsored Carmarthen Town side for this season.
Town were also proud to announce that Gavin Rees (above), a central defender for the Youth side, had been selected for the Welsh Semi-Pro Under-18 Squad.
They will play the Republic of Ireland at Holyhead on Wednesday.
Town’s proposed friendly against Caersws had to be cancelled in very sad circumstances.
A 12-year-old boy, Casey Breese, died while playing at the Recreation Ground in Caersws when a goal fell on him during a kick about with his friends.
Vice-Chairman Robert Lloyd, on behalf of Carmarthen Town, extended the club’s condolences to Casey’s family and to the club at Caersws.
