Latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen Town AFC column


Latest View from Richmond Park column from the Carmarthen Journal (sorry, should have posted this last week. Doing so now, just for the record) - 
Carmarthen Town’s second phase Welsh Premier League matches will be delayed due to a decision by a FAW disciplinary Panel to deduct Gap Connah’s Quay one league point
Connah’s Quay were found guilty by a Football Association of Wales Disciplinary Panel of fielding an ineligible player.
The panel decided to deduct the club one Welsh Premier League point and fine them £250 for fielding Lee Davey as a late substitute in the league match against Carmarthen Town (5/1/13).
Davey had previously played for Colwyn Bay FC and Conwy Borough FC during the present season and, while he was entitled to register for Connah’s Quay, participating for three teams in one season is not permitted.
Connah’s Quay has seven business days in which to appeal the decision. The club is perfectly within its rights to appeal the decision. The Welsh Premier League is aware that this impacts on the beginning of the Second Phase of the Welsh Premier League.
Carmarthen Town Directors discussed the current situation on February 5.
Gap Connah’s Quay have until February 13 to appeal the one point deduction and if the appeal is officially confirmed the FAW will set up an Appeal Panel chaired by an independent person (non FAW) as soon as possible after then. Carmarthen Town will respect the due processes involved.

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

Image
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

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
