Embarking on a journey with a victory under their belt in the league, we gear up to take on Llangollen Town FC, who are hungry to keep their winning streak alive!

O N T H E C O V E R O
Welcome to the Broadway for the second game of our league campaign with Llangollen Town FC the visitors. Today we look to build on the positive performance against Radnor in the opening league encounter. It was a shame that we could not secure the victory that night which our performance deserved. Ultimately that was down to failing to take our chances together with a lack of discipline late on.
Llangollen come in to today’s game in good form having won their first league game away at Rhos Aelwyd along with wins in the Welsh Cup and FAW Trophy so they will be making the long trip down in good spirits and looking to keep that momentum and unbeaten going. We extend a warm welcome to them and their travelling support.
Unfortunately, we bowed out of the FAW Trophy ourselves after losing to Montgomery Town 2-3 last week in what was a horror show of a first half performance, which saw us going in 1-3 at half-time. Whilst the second half performance was much improved, we left ourselves with too much to do, but again still created enough chances to win the game. We have gone behind early in both of our competitive games and so the aim today is to get out of the blocks early and try and impose ourselves on the game.
We will have to do so without Ashley Jones who serves his one match ban. Will Cleaton missing as he continues his recovery from the injury that kept him out for the large part of last season. On the plus side, we should have a full squad with plenty of options coming off the bench. Get behind the lads as we look to secure our first three points of the season. Enjoy the game!!

Llandrindod Wells FC was formed in November 1883, with five players from the Lewis family taking the field. In 189798 the club won the South Wales Junior Cup, with an exciting crop of players.
Llandrindod Wells FC 1883-84
One of the early stars was Jeff Jones who played for Llandrindod Wells from 1904-1906 before signing for Aston Villa, going on to win 3 caps for Wales. He then played for Northern Nomads before returning to play for Llandrindod Wells until the outbreak of WW1, where he joined the Medical Corps. In 1918 he was reported as missing in action but had been captured by the Germans and survived to live to the ripe old age of 90. Carl Robinson is another former player, who went on to play 52 times for Wales, as well as make over 300 league appearances for Wolves, Sunderland and Norwich.
In the last 40 years Llandrindod Wells have played predominately in the MidWales League apart from 5 seasons in the Cymru Alliance (Tier 2). During the 1960's, and arguably one of the most successful era's for the Club, we lifted the Mid Wales League on two occasions in 1961-62 & 1966-67 and finished runners up on two other occasions being 1962-63 and 196465. 1993-94 saw the Club finish runners up in the Mid-Wales League for a third time to win promotion to the Cymru Alliance, where they finished in 7th place in their first season. They played a further three seasons at this level before dropping back into the Mid -Wales League in 1997-98.
In the 2009/10 season, Llandrindod won the Emrys Morgan Cup by defeating Montgomery 1-0. They also won the Radnorshire Cup in the 2010-2011 and 2011/12 seasons by beating Hay St Marys and Knighton Town, respectively.
In 2012–2013, Llandrindod had a very good start to their Mid Wales League Division 2 campaign, going undefeated in the first 10 games, but the side fell away after Christmas and finished the season as runners up to eventual winners, Llanfair United. Both clubs were promoted to the Mid-Wales League Division 1 for the 2013–14 season.
The 2013–14 season was to be even better for Llandrindod when they won the first 16 games of the season. This included an opening day 8–1 away win at local rivals Builth Wells and a further win away at Montgomery 13–0. The team went on to maintain their form enough over the season to win the Mid-Wales League Division 1, finishing with 22 wins and a draw out of 28 games.
The team remained undefeated at home in the league, only dropping 2 points. The season culminated in a must-win last day victory over Montgomery Town with a 3–1 scoreline securing the league and in the process took the team to 101 goals, whilst also conceding just 27 goals. Llandrindod Wells had won the league for the first time in 47 years. Of the whole squad, at least 15 players had played at junior and youth level for the club.
After ground improvements in 2014, Llandrindod Wells met criteria for Tier 2 football in the 2014/2015 season. They spent four seasons in Mid-Wales League Division 1, achieving a 6th place finish in 2015-16. In the 2019-20 season, they were poised for a title challenge but finished as runners-up due to the pandemic.
On the return to football following the pandemic, Llandrindod took up a place in the Ardal South East Division following the FAW's restructure of the Tier Three leagues and finished a creditable 8th in 2021/22. We were then moved into the Ardal North East last season and after a slow start ended up finishing 7th in the league and had a memorable FAW Trophy run which saw us make it to the SemiFinals, only to lose narrowly to eventual winners, Trethomas Bluebirds.

LLANGOLLEN TOWN FC
Llangollen Town Football Club was formed as early as 1908, but clubs such as Arosfa and Berwyn Rangers were the pioneers of football in the Vale of Llangollen at the turn of the century. The present club came to prominence in the 1950’s and enjoyed success until the mid seventies, when a decline seems to have set in. After winning the North East Wales Cup in 1974 more than 20 years elapsed before they won the next real honours. During its heyday the Club was managed by Scotsman Jim Birrell and he retained his connections with the club until 1992 when along with other committee members resigned from the club. It was under the guidance of ex-player Chris Tobin, who took over the reigns in 1992, that the club reached the final of the Horace Wynne Cup in his first season losing to Saltney after extra time. Three years later, they reached the final of the same cup and won defeating Brickfield Rangers and they also went on to win the Division One in the final and gained Division.

RESERVES
CALLUM SHAW MANAGEMENT TEAM
Geoff Morgan-Hogg - I began coaching the Llandod Tweenies (U5s), taking the team through to U16s. Many of those players joined the Reserves and made their senior debut. I decided to continue coaching them into their senior years.
Jason Coles -After 4 seasons at Rhayader, the reserves manager stepped down in 2014 after our 3rd league title and 2nd league cup win I took over as manager for 2 seasons before rejoining Llandod in 2016. I played for 2 more seasons, then Ben (BJ) Jones and I managed the reserves for one season.
Callum's speed is off the charts! He zooms past opponents like they're standing still, all while showing off some fancy footwork with the ball. A rising star for the team, he's definitely one to watch for some thrilling action!
