NIGEL AYKROYD

CHI EF EXEC NOT ES

A quick return to Maes Tegid this evening after a superb victory over Connah’s Quay last Friday evening. We will clearly hoping to build on the confidence gained after 2 back to back wins and also on the excellent standard of performance during both of these fixtures. But as we are all aware it will be exceedingly tough this evening against our opponents who arrive on the back of a very good result last Friday evening as well. The Gwynedd Derby always produces a hard fought encounter and we can expect no difference tonight. Both Clubs are in need of the priceless points on offer and certainly another win for us this evening would go a long way to securing 3rd spot in the JD Cymru Premier. A very warm welcome to all who have travelled from Caernarfon and I hope we are treated to an exciting and entertaining encounter at Maes Tegid this evening.

I must also congratulate T.N.S. on securing the League Championship last weekend. It is amazing that this title has been won at such an early stage but it clearly demonstrates the gulf between the Champions and all the other Clubs in the Premier League. I am sure we will all continue to try to catch up with TNS but their resources are fundament ally way ahead of most of the other Clubs and the gulf appears to be getting bigger each season. We can only do our best to try to challenge their dominance.

As we are all aware our Sponsors are the lifeblood of our Club and tonight we are once again hugely grateful to A.N. Richards Ltd who are sponsoring tonight’s match. This well known North Wales Transport Company have been kind sponsors of the Club for many years and we are greatly indebted to them for this continued support. I hope that their guests to night at Maes Tegid will enjoy the hospitality and the whole occasion.

The Club are also extremely grateful to Rob Beattie for his Match Ball Sponsorship of tonight’s match. Rob is always so most welcome at Maes Tegid and his support and enthusiasm for the Bragdy Cup is exceptional. We all look forward to seeing you and hope you enjoy the match this evening. Diolch yn fawr Rob. We travel to Cardiff Met next Saturday for another crucial League fixture and then will play the JD Cwpan Cymru Semi final the Saturday after. This match against Connah’s Quay will be hosted in Llandudno with a 5.15pm kick off. These are hugely exciting times at Bala Town and we are proud of our efforts and performances to maintain the highest standards and achievements in Welsh domest ic Football. Da iawn pawb wir!!

Thank as always for your attendance this evening. It promises to be such an important evening for our Club.

The Club were delighted last Friday evening to have Artisan Windows and Conservatories as the Match Sponsors against Connah’s Quay. We are so grateful to Ian Gibson and his friends not only for sponsoring the match but then allowing our 3 American guests to present the Man of the Match Award.

We were so pleased to welcome Andrew (Washington DC), Geoff (Salt Lake City) and Richard (Santa Cruz) as our Match Ball Sponsors who had travelled from the USA to visit Bala. It was a brilliant evening for all concerned and this was further complimented by the superb result on the evening. Thank you most sincerely to you all for your wonderful support.

Andrew from Washington DC had the following to say about their stay: What a tremendously lovely time we all had last night with Bala! You and your staff treated us with such warmth and hospitality. We all agree that we would like to make it back there one day, and stay for a little longer than one night.

Cheers to you and Bala!

Andrew
