CTFC v Connah's Quay Nomads - JD Cymru Premier - 27/09/22

After the excitement (and heartbreak!) of the weekend we’re back in league action tonight against Connah’s Quay Nomads. Their 1-0 win over Pontypridd last Saturday brought them level on points with Town, however our better GD puts us one place above them in 3rd place in the table. It would appear then that a close, hard-fought encounter is on the cards tonight, and having lost 7 and drawn 2 of our last 9 encounters against them, it’s more than time for Town to get a victory! Whilst all our energies and focus will now be, not only tonight’s game, but indeed on all the league games, we cannot forget the wonderful experience we had on our visit north of the border last weekend.

There was very little between the 2 teams and it certainly appeared that the tie was going to be decided on penalties. The cross from Grant in the 90 + 1 minute that resulted in a freak goal for Clyde was devastating. The squad as a whole were superb those on the pitch gave their all and those on the bench gave them amazing support, and what can I say about the Cofi Army! I don’t think Clyde had ever seen such fans. The Cofi Army greeted the team bus on its way to the stadium, they sang throughout the game and although they didn’t have a win to celebrate on Saturday night they managed to lift everyone’s spirits and make it a night to remember. Cofi Army you were SUPERB and Town must be the envy of all the Cymru Premier teams to have such supporters. A huge thank you to the fans to the Board and of course to the lads as a management team we were so very proud of you. You are an excellent squad, and each and everyone have an important part to play in the season ahead of us. Together as ‘one club’ we will succeed and there will be lots more memorable occasions to enjoy.

Does dim geiriau i ddisgrifio’r genogaeth gawsom ni gan y Cofi Army dros y penwsnos –mi roedd o’n anhygoel! Diolch yn fawr iawn i bob un ohonoch. Diolch hefyd i aelodau’r Bwrdd fu’n gweithio’n galed iawn efo’r holl drefniadau ac wrth gwrs yr hogie mi roedd yr ymroddiad yn werth chweil. Fe hoffwn i hefyd ar ran y Clwb ddatgan ein diolch i Clyde FC am baratoi hysbysebion a chyhoeddiadau dwyieithog yn dangos eu parch tuag atom ni y Cymry ac at ein hiaith. Diolch o galon Clyde FC.

Ymlaen at weddill y tymor ac at gêm heno gobeithio bod gennych ddigon o lais ar ôl i roi’r un hwb i’r hogie ar Yr Oval!!!

Diolch am eich cefnogaeth. C’mon y Dre!

FLASHBACK

The last time tonight’s visitors, Connahs Quay Nomads, visited the Oval, back on November 9th 2021, they defeated us courtesy of a late Neal Eardley goal. It transpired that Eardley should not have been playing for the Nomads as, following a long running dispute with the FAW,itwasadjudgedthathehadbeensignedoutsideoflast season’s first transfer window. Rather fortunately for us, this decision, by an independent board, resulted in the Nomads being deducted points for fielding an ineligible player and as a result of this, we took their place in the top six for the second phase of last season.

Recent history of CONNAH’S QUAY NOMADS

Nomads narrowly missed out on the cut off for the Super 12 League, and began the 2010 11 league in the Cymru Alliance, which they subsequently won following a successful season including a Golden Boot award for striker Gary O'Toole, however the team was denied promotion to the Cymru Premier after failing to gain a domestic licence. Nomads won the league again in the 2011 12 season, becoming the first team to win back to back Championship titles in the history of the HGA Cymru Alliance League. Striker Gary O'Toole also won the Golden Boot award again and with The Nomads having successfully obtained a domestic licence, promotion back to the Welsh Premier League was secured for season 2012 13.

The 2012 13 season saw a good start for The Nomads with early victories over Port Talbot Town, Llanelli and Newtown. A string of poor results left The Nomads in the lower half of the Welsh Premier League, and prior to the split, they were still in contention to qualify for the championship conference phase of the league season, and with a 6–3 away victory at Bala Town appeared to have secured a place in the top six championship conference, but a controversial decision saw The Nomads deducted a point for the brief fielding of mid season signing Lee Davey, who was ineligible to play for the Nomads having already played for two other teams in the 2012 13 season. The Nomads were deducted one point, which saw Carmarthen Town elevated to sixth place and The Nomads left in the play-off conference to fight against relegation and attempt to secure a lucrative UEFA Europa League place. The Nomads reached the play-off, having finished eighth in the league, but were beaten 1 0 by eventual Europa League qualifiers Bala Town. The 2012–13 season also saw the rise to fame of The Nomads Academy's best product thus far, as Rhys Healey scored 14 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions, catching the eye of Cardiff City, signing for the side, who at the time were in the English Premier League. Healey went on to make his Cardiff City debut in the final game of the season against Chelsea.[4]

In January 2015 it was announced that Mark McGregor had left the club by mutual consent after five and a half years at the club and First Team Coach Allan Bickerstaff and Assistant Manager Jay Catton would take charge of the team for the remainder of the 2014 15 Welsh Premier League season. The remainder of the season saw a good run for The Nomads which resulted in finishing seventh in the league, placing the team in the UEFA Europa League playoffs, only to lose 3 2 to Aberystwyth Town F.C. Following the conclusion of the 2014 15 season, Nomads winger, Sean Miller was named as the Welsh Premier League Young Player of the season.

Ahead of the 2015 16 season, Manager, Allan Bickerstaff signed a new three-year deal with the club. However, after winning just 3 of the first 11 games of the 2015 16 season, Bickerstaff parted ways with the club. Former Manchester City captain, Andy Morrison was appointed as first team manager on 2 November 2015. Morrison turned The Nomads' season around following his appointment, and led the Club to a record highest league position, finishing fourth behind Champions, The New Saints, Bala Town and MBi Llandudno respectively. The fourth placed finish ensured The Nomads place in the Welsh Premier League's Europa League Playoffs, with the benefit of home advantage having finished the highest in the league out of the qualifying teams. In their semi-final, The Nomads defeated Carmarthen Town 2 0. This secured a final fixture with Airbus UK Broughton, which The Nomads won 1–0 thanks to a late Wes Baynes strike, thus securing the Club's first place in European football as they secured a spot in the 2016 17 UEFA Europa League First Qualifying Round.

The 2016 17 season started early due to the UEFA Europa League qualification, with a two legged first qualifying round clash with Norwegian side, Stabæk. The Nomads held Stabæk to a 0 0 draw at Rhyl before traveling to Fredrikstad, Norway where an early Callum Morris strike secured an historic 1 0 victory for The Nomads. The result marked the first time in 24 years and 214 games that a Welsh side involved in European competition had kept two clean sheets across the two legs of a European tie. The Nomads would go on to lose 3–1 on aggregate to Serbian side FK Vojvodina in the second qualifying round. This would not be the end of the success for the club in the 2016 17 campaign however as the side went on to finish a record high position in the league, finishing second behind champions, TNS. The Nomads boasted the best defensive record in the league and as a result qualified for both the UEFA Europa League qualifying round as well as the Scottish Challenge Cup for the 2017 18 season.

League and cup success

The Nomads again achieved surprise success in the UEFA Europa League in the 2017 18 campaign as they defeated Finnish side, HJK Helsinki 1–0 at Bangor City Stadium before losing out 3–1 on aggregate. The 2017 18 season was one of special occasion for the club however, as for the first time under the guise of Connah's Quay Nomads, the club lifted the Welsh Cup thanks to a 4 1 victory over Aberystwyth Town in the final held at Newtown. The club also finished third in the league behind champions TNS and second placed Bangor City, who however, were relegated as a result of non compliance of the Welsh Premier League Licensing requirements.

In the 2018 19 season, the Nomads made history as they beat Edinburgh City 5 4 on penalties in the Scottish Challenge Cup semi finals, and became the first non Scottish side to reach the finals, despite many non-Scottish sides reaching the semi-final stage in previous seasons. The Nomads lost the final 3 1 to Ross County at the Caledonian Stadium in Inverness on 23 March 2019, with Michael Bakare scoring the lone goal for the Nomads.

In the 2019 20 season, the Nomads beat Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock 2 0 in Ayrshire, for a Europa League first qualifying round aggregate win. They also won the Welsh League Cup for the second time in their history with a 3 0 win over STM Sports on 1 February 2020 and made it a domestic double by being crowned champions of the Cymru Premier for the first time, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, after the season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales.[16]

In the 2020 21 season, the Nomads won the Cymru Premier for a second successive season with a title clinching 2 0 win away at Penybont on the final day of the season.

The 2021 22 season would be a transitional and eventful one for the Nomads, although the club still continued to win silverware. Firstly, Andy Morrison resigned from the club in September 2021 and was replaced by the six time Cymru Premier winning manager, and Nomads first team coach, Craig Harrison. The club then suffered an 18-point deduction following the conclusion of the first phase of the 2021-22 Cymru Premier season after being found guilty of fielding an ineligible player in six of their Cymru Premier matches. As a result, the club was placed in the Play off Group (bottom six) of the league for the second phase of the season, eventually overcoming the huge threat of relegation to conclude their league campaign in ninth position. Nonetheless, the Nomads managed to win their third Welsh League Cup trophy in the club's history when they defeated Cardiff Met University on penalties after a goalless draw in the 2022 final played at Penybont's ground.

SPFL Trust Trophy Round 3

It was a memorable day for Caernarfon Town on Saturday as they made their debut in the SFPL Trust Trophy, courtesy of last season’s play off victory.They made the long trip to face Clyde at New Douglas Park in confident mood after a strong start to the league season and they gave the Scottish League One outfit a run for their money until a cruel late strike ended their hopes of progress.

The action began slowly as the sides tried to size themselves out, Joe Faux being the first Caernarfon player to strike for goal, an effort that flew over the target from the edge of the box in the seventh minute.A well worked eleventh minute corner between Dion Donohue and Sion Bradley saw the latter attempt to score from an acute angle from eight yards but his low shot was blocked.

The hosts looked dangerous during a quick surge upfield six minutes later and, just as Lyon was about to pull the trigger,Alec Mudimu intercepted with a well timed challenge.

Clyde stopper Mullen was fortunate in the twenty fifth minute when he took too long to clear the ball and his strike struck Town striker O’Rourke, but bounced back into the keeper’s hands. It continued to be a tale of missed half chances up to the interval as Roberts and Cameron threatened for the Bully Wee whilst Gruff John and Bradley went close for the Cofis but the match remained scoreless at the interval. The pattern of play in the first half continued after the break as opportunities remained at a premium.

An early Lyon effort in the second half finished two or three feet over the woodwork and, in the fifty sixth minute, after a Noah Edwards was fouled thirty yards out, Dion Donohue’s strike cannoned off the defensive wall for a Town corner. Donohue was on hand to rescue his side at the other end of the pitch six minutes later as he impressively dealer with a dangerous Cunningham delivery into the six yard area. Danny Gosset and Rob Hughes were introduced midway through the half and gave Caernarfon some impetus going forward, the former flashing one shot wide of the target when we’ll placed soon after his introduction. Cunninghan went close to opening the score when he hit a powerful thirty yard free kick inches wide of Josh Tibbetts’ upright and Town’s O’Rourke was frustrated not to have forced Mullen into action after turning his mate Kerr well in the box but hitting his effort wide.With ninety minutes on the clock and the tie looking destined for penalties, heartbreak struck for Caernarfon as Raymond Grant whipped in a cross from the flank and the ball bounced off the post and across and over the line for a cruel winning goal for the hosts. Despite the disappointing end, it had been an impressive display by the Cofis and Huw Griffiths and his men and the travelling Cofi Army, estimated at two hundred, will have left a positive mark on the Bully Wee at Clyde.
