nigel's Notes

Welcome back yet again to Maes Tegid for this evening’s JD Cymru League match against Aberystwyth. Despite the home advantage we have suffered 2 back to back defeats over the last 2 weekends and must surely be looking to overturn those disappointing results in tonight’s encounter. We certainly have not been at our best in those 2 fixtures and can point a finger at the horrendous injury list to offset some of that disappointment but the reality is that our performances have not been up to their usual standard. It is so important to address that situation this evening and we’re hoping for a much improved showing when we face a resilient Aberystwyth side. It will definitely be a serious test for Colin and his team but we will definitely turn the corner and we hope that happens this evening.

Our fixture list has turned up some odd run of matches in the past but this season is another anomaly as we are confronted with another 2 Home fixtures next week. We host Holywell Town from the Cymru North League on Tuesday evening in the MG Nathaniel League Cup. This promises to be another exciting Cup tie and we will face stern competition from this excellent Club who finished as Champions last season but were unable to be promoted due to licensing requirements. Please join us for an entertaining evening at Maes Tegid.

We then entertain Newtown on Friday evening back in League action with another 7.45 ko. It’s certainly a busy time for us all and I must thank all our hard working volunteers for their continued help for the Club. It’s a thankless and daunting task for all but it is the backbone of the Club’s success. Diolch pawb.

Please enjoy your evening at Maes Tegid and thank you for your attendance this evening.

Diolch.

Nigel.

Hussein Moves To The Lakesiders!

Bala Town Football Club were delighted to announce the signing of 22 year old Forward Hussein Mehasseb prior to last weekend’s defeat to Cardiff Met. The 22 year old joins the Lakesiders after leaving Kosovo Superleague side KF Malisheva, with the Kosovan Club making their European debut in the UEFA Conference League this season.

The Forward has played across Europe and beyond, playing for clubs in Scotland, Egypt, Lithuania, Cyprus and Kosovo. However, while 19 years of age, Hussein was reported to be of interest to a few of Portugal’s top division sides having impressed at Al Ahly in Egypt.

Hussein who hails from Cairo in Egypt has represented his country on one occasion while playing for Egypt’s U20’s side while aged 16.

Despite wearing the number 27 shirt on his debut last weekend, Hussein will wear the number 99 shirt for the Lakesiders.

Croeso i Faes Tegid Hussein!
