NODIADAU NIGEL’S NOTES Tonight we welcome the League leaders to Maes Tegid in what promises to be a crucial fixture for the both teams involved. Our visitors will be looking to cement their position at the top and keep the serious challenge of the chasing pack at arms length whilst the Lakesiders must get a result in their attempt to close the gap on the top 2 and also try to pull away from the teams behind them. It really is getting towards the business end of the season and it is promising to be the most exciting run in that the WPL has experienced for many years. It is very apparent that the standards of the teams challenging at the top are extremely close and it is fine margins which will eventually
decide the outcome of this fascinating season. We have had a nice break whilst others have been competing in the Welsh Cup and hopefully this rest will see us in competitive mood and firing on all cylinders for this challenge tonight. We know how difficult it will be! Every fixture between the Clubs is a fiercely contested affair and this should prove some excellent entertainment for all our paying guests this evening.
Club. Adam Galdo, Dafydd Hughes and all the players have been excellent and will no doubt grow in strength as we progress towards the close of this season and the prospect of further development next season. Well done to all involved. Once again I must sincerely thank Robert (Foxy) Jones for his magnificent sponsorship this evening. We are seriously indebted to Foxy for his brilliant support. He is such an integral part of the Club and it is this excellent sponsorship that allows us to continue the Club's development. Diolch Robert!!
I must mention our Reserve team in these notes. They have had a superb inaugural season and were playing an important Horace Wynne Cup Quarter Final last night. Lets hope that they achieved the desired result BIG BIG GAME!! Enjoy! in that match but irrespective of that the team has been a revelation and a delight to have as an important part of our
Our Commercial Director Arwel Lloyd Jones, would be delighted to discuss our sponsorship opportunities with you. Please get in touch with him via armarno9@btinternet.com or 07796 692846.

Y CLWB PELDROED The selection headaches facing Ryan Giggs ahead of Euro 2020 Nearly four years after reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2016, Wales are gearing up to compete in the 2020 instalment in what feels like a golden-era for football in the country With an array of players staking a strong claim to be on the plane, we take a look at who could feature in Ryan Giggs’ 23man squad. Goalkeepers Not only the first name on the list of 23, but also the first on the teamsheet is Wayne Hennessey. Having earned 89 caps for Wales, Hennessey is just three caps away from Neville Southall’s record of 92 appearances. The Crystal Palace stopper was dependable in qualifying, most notably making a crucial double save in the 2-0 win over Hungary on the night that secured qualification. A deputy to Leicester City’s Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Ward is likely to be included as a backup to Hennessey in Giggs’ 23-man squad. Ward has struggled for appearances since his 2018 move to the Foxes from Liverpool – featuring just nine times – but he remains a safe bet to be selected for the Championships. The final spot is expected to be taken by Stoke City’s Adam Davies, who played 184 times for Barnsley over the course of five seasons, before making the move to the Potters in 2019. Other contenders include Newport’s Tom King, who was called up for the final two
games of qualification back in November, and former Preston, Fleetwood and Wrexham man Chris Maxwell, who recently signed for Blackpool until the end of the season.
Much like Davies, Roberts’ place in the squad is in little doubt.
Wales’ most capped player of all time with 96 caps, Reading’s Chris Gunter was a star at Euro 2016, memorably crossing for Full-backs Sam Vokes to head home A regular in the Tottenham against Belgium to send Wales Hotspur team – especially now into the semi-finals. However, that Danny Rose is on loan at sentiment cannot influence Newcastle United – left-back selection for the upcoming Ben Davies is a fans’ favourite in Championships, with Liverpool the Wales ranks. teenager Neco Williams also Arguably, Wales would not have staking a claim. had such success in Euro 2016 Williams’ swift rise in the last had it not been for his heroic few months could result in clearance off the line in the Giggs including him in his 23opening stages against man squad, as he is no Slovakia. An ever-present in the stranger to giving young Euro 2020 qualifiers, Davies can players a chance on the be sure of his place on the international stage. plane.

It is just one game in the qualifying clear that Giggs favours campaign, Taylor’s case of Roberts at right-back, having uncertainty is similar to that of selected the Swans man in Gunter and Williams. seven of Wales’ eight qualifiers.

Outside contenders to be selected in the full-back role are Cardiff’s Jazz Richards, Charlton’s Adam Matthews, Preston’s Andrew Hughes, Sheffield United’s Kieron Freeman and Sunderland loanee Declan John. Centre-Back Arguably Wales’ best centreback, Chris Mepham’s place at Euro 2020 is all but secured, with the Bournemouth defender impressing in his five appearances in qualifying. Having formed a good partnership with Mepham in the final two qualifying wins over Azerbaijan and Hungary, Charlton’s Tom Lockyer is a centre-back option that Giggs favoured on four occasions during the qualifying campaign. Without necessarily standing out, Lockyer looked comfortable at international level, and is staking a claim for a place on the plane. Now back from injury, Joe Rodon’s reputation has risen markedly in recent times and he is now a regular starter for Swansea. Still only 22, Rodon impressed when he featured in qualifying and arguably would have started the final matches had it not been for injury. If he can continue playing regularly for the Swans before the Euros, he is another who is likely to be selected.
achievements for Wales, sentiment cannot influence Giggs’ decision whether to take the Bristol City centre-back to Euro 2020 or not, and this is one of Giggs’ biggest selection headaches going into the tournament.

his first call up back in May 2019, but the target-man was excellent in qualifying, scoring in Slovakia and in Hungary, while his hold-up play was highly impressive. Despite scoring just three goals for the Latics in the Championship this season, Moore’s ability on the international stage to hold the ball up and bring the likes of Bale, Ramsey and James into the game means he is likely to be selected for Euro 2020. There is plenty of debate about whether Hal Robson-Kanu, the scorer of that famous goal against Belgium at Euro 2016, should be selected for Euro 2020 after retiring from international football back in August 2018. While Wales secured qualification for Euro 2020, West Bromwich Albion’s Robson-Kanu re-opened the door to international football in November of last year. Wales’ success in Euro 2016 was built on team-spirit, and if picking a player who retired from international football and made no appearances in qualifying doesn’t affect the spirit in the camp, then Hal Robson-Kanu has a strong chance of going to Euro 2020, as he offers a different dimension to Moore. Like Moore, Christian Doidge’s reputation has risen over the last year and he is now staking a strong claim to be included in Giggs’ squad. The Hibernian striker has scored 17 times in all competitions this season, which makes him by far the most prolific of Wales’ strikers going into the Championships. Doidge’s selection would inspire strikers in the Cymru Premier, as Doidge was a natural goalscorer for both Barry Town United and Carmarthen Town before turning professional. Doidge’s story is one that shows players in the Cymru Premier can one day be in contention to play for Wales.
NON LEAGUE PAPER A few years back, a manager - who will remain nameless - of a thenConference club finished giving his post-match interview. His side had just lost an FA Trophy quarter-final. He’d said all the things you’d expect. Disappointed that his side had been below par, frustrated at the goals they’d conceded and rued the missed opportunity of a trip to Wembley. Then, after checking the assembled press had got what they needed and all dictaphones were off, he cheered, ‘I’m so glad we’re out!’ In truth, you could partly see his point. They were going for promotion, something the club desperately wanted and the additional games could have been a tipping point. But the Trophy has had a bit of a kicking in recent years. Managers moaning about fixture pile-ups, calls for it to become a midweek competition, there was even a spell when the final was moved to March in a bid to help those Step 1 clubs.
And it’s a competition that has thrown up some wonderful stories. Not least this season with the incredible run of Step 4 duo Halesowen Town and Aveley. Both caused upsets on their way to the quarter-final, where Aveley finally bowed out in front of 500 travelling fans at Notts County.
13 games later - including replays - Paul Smith’s side are a two-legged semi-final away from reaching Wembley.
Manager Keith Rowland couldn’t have been prouder of his players and spoke about how it has helped their league form. Now their focus returns to winning promotion from the Isthmian Division One North.
On the face of it, all three will be thinking they’re unlikely to get a better chance of getting to the famous stadium. National League pair Harrogate Town and Notts County make up the other semi.
For Halesowen the journey, remarkably, continues. An extratime win against Barnet keeps Thankfully the FA have held their their dream alive and is ground and moving the finals conjuring memories of their back to Wembley in May - as famous past when they were a they have been in recent years big Non-League hitter in the 70s since the inception of Nonand 80s. League Finals Day - has No one would have called the restored the showpiece Yeltz reaching the final four. But final to its rightful place.
Both those sides are also enjoying fantastic runs of their own. It’s been the year of the underdog in Non-League’s top cup comp.
But the unpredictability is what makes the football so exciting. One lucky club will be climbing the Wembley steps victorious not too long from now. Yes, there will be a knock-on effect with their league fixtures. But what a great problem to have - if you get there.

MARK PITMAN The controversial decision by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to entrust their FA Cup run with the U23 squad has promoted young Neco Williams to national attention.
However, Brooks withdrew from the squad, and minutes later it was confirmed that he would represent England in the competition instead.

that would further enhance his chances of making Ryan Giggs’ EURO 2020 squad. He is versatile enough to also play on left, and he could even force a shift at Anfield by pushing Alexander-Arnold into a more attacking position with Williams slotting in behind. It would mirror the move that changed the direction of Gareth Bale’s career at Tottenham Hotspur, and there is no doubt that AlexanderArnold has the attacking and creative ability to establish himself in a more forward role in Klopp’s team. Including Williams in the EURO 2020 squad would be a bold decision by Giggs, but he has shown throughout his tenure with Wales that he has no concern in giving young players their chance in his side. He will be more than aware of the potential that Williams has, and he will be keen to test him in the upcoming friendlies as he looks to confirm the final names for his squad. England lost a talented youngster to Wales in Brooks, but Williams appears set to take his first steps with Wales at senior level, and the carrot of a place at EURO 2020 could be the deciding factor if his mind is currently in any sort of doubt.
