Village Football
Dyserth Tornadoes, Dyserth Junior football club's (DJFC) under 13s team have much to celebrate at the end of the 22/23 season having achieved second place in the Rhyl & District junior league after a tremendous campaign that saw the Tornadoes losing by a point to local rivals NFA in the final nail biting game of the season. However the Tornadoes bounced back the following week by beating NFA on penalties in a thriller of a game which saw the Tornadoes crowned as winners of the Rhyl and District Junior League knockout cup. This tremendous achievement, which has been a long time in the making means the cup will soon be displayed in the village for all to see.
The fantastic performance of the team on the pitch comes as a result not only from the hard work, reliance and determination of the players, and support of the parents, but primarily comes as a result of the commitment offered every game and every training session by head coach Des Martin. Des's efforts for team and the wider DJFC family has not gone unnoticed and Des recently received an award from the Community Council for his ten years of unwavering dedication and commitment to DJFC. The success of the team is testament not only to Des but also his right hand man Ste Wood, who like Des, is committed to making sure the team are ready for every game they face. Thanks Des and Ste.
There is much for the Tornadoes to look forward to next season with football and fitness training commencing again in July; and also a number of summer friendly games already arranged that will hopefully enable the team to emulate this seasons success when the league campaign for 23/24 starts in late August as the U13s move to become the U14s.
DJFC's U10’s had a busy season playing non competitive 7v7 football which involved some tournaments in the last few months including a visit to Lytham St Anne’s and Buckley FC. They are all improving every week and enjoy the experience of playing as part of a team for Dyserth.
Next season we will also be welcoming a new team who will play in the U10’s age group, taking the total number of teams to 3 and counting
The DJFC family would like to thank the Community Council who have provided funding for equipment storage facilities, the provision of a line marker and new nets, which for the latter will support the U14’s who will be playing on the 11 a side on the full pitch next season. DJFC would also like to thank our very generous kit sponsors, Coast Containers of Dyserth who sponsor the U14’s. Mountview Cars who sponsor next seasons U11’s and Thorncliffes who will sponsor our new U10’s for next season.
More support for DJFC is always welcome at home and away games and it would be great to see more village fans cheering the teams on. We have plans to potentially expand our facilities in the village to grow the football club further to include more teams of all ages so please get in touch if you’d like to help out or start a team of your own. Full support & training will be provided. Also if you would like to be involved in the running of the club or wish to help to fund the continued success of DJFC please contact via email on dyserthjfc@yahoo.com.
Also, 1 final note for our dog owners. Please, please, please ensure you pick up your dogs mess whilst walking around Dyserth, but in particular on the field where not only the football club, but also the community in general spend a lot of time playing various sports during these warm summer months on the field. It’s extremely important that there isn’t dog mess left on the field so please continue to be responsible dog owners and pick up your dogs mess.
Enjoy the summer
Dyserth JFC
