Carmarthen Town AFC celebrate double licensing success


Carmarthen Town Football Club officials are celebrating their success in achieving two Football Association of Wales licensing awards.
The club has been granted both Domestic and UEFA (European) Licences for next season, 2016/17.
“Achieving the two licences is no mere tick-box exercise; a huge amount of hard work has to go into preparing the applications,” said club Chairman Jeff Thomas.
“Our club general manager/secretary Gareth Jones, club licensing officer John Collyer, groundsman Jonathan Lewis and treasurer Anthony Parnell can be singled out for special praise for their significant roles within the process.”
Chairman designate Chris Edwards said: “All officials, volunteers, supporters and helpers can take pride in the fact we have been granted these two licenses.
“The Domestic one is key to our participation in the Welsh Premier League and the UEFA license means that we can stage European games. This has paid dividends for us in the past as we fly the flag for South andWest Wales clubs in having this status.
“The licences add extra status to our ground at Richmond Park. Without a doubt, we have one of the finest football grounds in the Welsh Premier League and facilities which are the envy of many.
“We will continue to work hard to constantly improve the facilities at Richmond Park. Of course, central to our current plans is our bid to bring a new 3G pitch to Richmond Park. We are progressing that plan and hope to update our fans and the wider community on that proposal as soon as we have news to report.”
An independent panel awarded domestic licenses to 14 Welsh clubs.
The only existing Dafabet Welsh Premier League club, not to be awarded the licence was Port Talbot Town.
Barry Town Utd of the Welsh Football League was awarded the domestic licence for the first time, while Cefn Druids and Flint Town Utd of the Huws Gray Alliance League were also granted the licence.
Cardiff Met. University, Penybont, Caernarfon Town, Porthmadog and Prestatyn Town were the other five ‘Tier 2’ clubs to be rejected the licence.
The panel also assessed the 12 Dafabet Welsh Premier League clubs’ applications for a UEFA licence, with nine UEFA licenses being granted, including a first UEFA licence for MBi Llandudno. Port Talbot Town, Rhyl and Haverfordwest County were not awarded the UEFA licence.
The FAW domestic licence is mandatory to participate in the Welsh Premier League, whilst the UEFA licence is a pre-requisite for UEFA Club competitions.

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. Ammanford businessman and well-known comic entertainer Phil Evans has launched a campaign to get cash backers for Lauryn's athletics career. "Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things.
