| This particular season was the first season the
football club had ran with a structured committee for quite some
time and the club was not in the healthiest condition. With only
six weeks to the start of the season we had only six players likely
to sign and two threadbare football kit. To cap things off we were
in considerable debt.
Buckley Town Reserves had disbanded preseason and it was decided
by the newly formed committee to put together Mynydd Isa and the
players from Buckley Reserves and go from there. We approached the
then redundant Colin Snead who managed the Buckley side and along
with Paul Wood and Graham Woods who ran Mynydd Isa last season to
try to put together a side under the name Mynydd Isa.
The results were nothing short of brilliant and the team improved
as the season went on losing only one game in the league to Summerhill
at the end of the season with a nightmare fixture pile up injuries
and work we went there with only ten men.
Our final game of the season and again work and injuries plus holidays
ruined our side as the fixture was put back twice which left us
playing four games from the 10th of May.
Apart from winning the league in such convincing fashion one of
the highlights was winning the Horace Wynne Trophy against a strong
Queens Park side.
Moments from the season were some of the high scoring wins in which
we played so decent football, on a sadder note Wayne Kendrick who
scored five on his debut against his previous club and never got
a mention in the local press was having a great season for us when
against Airbus in the league seemed to fall awkward never played
football properly again after numerous operations, my opinion he
would have been a Mynydd Isa player and scoring for a few years
to come.
The people who started to change the fortunes of the club from here
were in no particular order, Paul Wood, Graham Woods, Greg Shaw
{Secretary} Tony Aldridge {Treasurer} Frank Seery {Chairman}, I
have not mentioned managers as some they tend to come and go. As
the club grew and some left the committee through other interests
other joined and most notable John Bellis who used to play for the
club and Ken Booth became Chairman after Frank Seery decided to
pursue his grandchildren`s improvement in youth football.
