PIXIE JOINS BARTON AT CAERSWS

Former Buckley boss Dave Taylor will be part of a new management team at Caersws.
NEW Caersws manager Mike Barton is to be joined at the Recreation Ground by Dave Taylor, who managed Buckley Town until the end of last season.
Like former goalkeeper Barton, 'Pixie' Taylor was a highly experienced Welsh Premier player, but at the other end of the field as a striker with Conwy United, Porthmadog, Inter Cardiff, Newtown, Holywell Town, Welshpool, Flexsys Cefn Druids and Oswestry Town.
In all, he scored 117 goals from 163 appearances and, in 1993/4, hit 43 goals from 38 games for Porthmadog to put him top of the European goal charts.
After leaving Oswestry in 2000, Taylor continued as a player in the Cymru Alliance and steered Buckley to their first-ever title in 2004/5, before stepping down this year.
Taylor almost quit the Bucks in 2006 when the club declined promotion to the Welsh Premier for financial reasons. He was persuaded to stay on, but says: "When you get the opportunity to go up, sometimes you’ve just got to take it even if it means coming straight back down because the opportunity may not arise again for a period of time.
"I understand the reasons why they didn’t want to go up, but part of me has continued to think what might have happened had we given it a try.
The Bluebirds appointed Barton this weekend and the new duo face a major task to revive fortunes at the mid-Wales outfit, who have already lost central defender Hugh Clarke to Newtown and young midfielder Chris Venables to Welshpool.

FORMER DRUIDS' TRIO SIGN FOR PARK

Former Druid Burns will captain Gap Queens Park.

Defender Michael Burns, who has been named as captain, and midfielder Metcalf both signed for Druids from St Helens Town last November.
Colin Quirk moved to Airbus from Caernarfon Town in December 2004. He linked-up with the Ancients last September, but was released a month later to join Runcorn Linnets.
Also prominent amongst the club's signings are November's Cymru Alliance player of the month Phil Jones from Gresford Athletic and the return of Queensway favourite Jon Halton after a season at Mynydd Isa.

AIRBUS WANT NAME CHANGE

AIRBUS UK have asked the Welsh Premier for a name change to Airbus UK Broughton.
The club aims to increase its fan base by identifying with the location of the ground, adjacent to the Airbus wing making plant in Broughton, near Chester.

REDS FINED FOR SPITTING INCIDENT

LLANELLI have been fined £500 plus £50 costs after a supporter spat at referee Mark Whitby following the Reds' Welsh Cup semi-final defeat to Carmarthen Town at Havefordwest County's New Bridge Meadow.
The club has also been severely warned by the FA of Wales about the future conduct of its supporters and has been instructed to to place warning notices around the ground reminding supporters of their responsibilities with regards to their behaviour at matches.
Meanwhile, Cymru Alliance outfit Queens Park have been fined £1,000, with £500 suspended, after being found guilty on a racial abuse charge.
The FAW said the club was minimally responsible for the actions of Craig Edwards, who was sent-off in a game against Llandudno at the Queensway Stadium last December.
The new Gap Queens Park club say they are "working towards charter status from the Kick racism out of Football Campaign".

FREAK ACCIDENT FOR EX-BANGOR STAR

FORMER Bangor City centre half Alan Walker is to undergo major surgery after a freak accident left him partially paralysed with a broken neck.
Doctors told Walker, who captained Telford United to victory in the FA Trophy in 1983, that the problem was caused by a genetic weakness and could have happened at any time.
The 47-year-old, who played for Bangor from 1979 to 1981 and is now joint manager of Maidstone United, damaged his spinal cord after jumping while on a coaching course in Belfast.

NOMADS SIGN EX-WREXHAM KEEPER

NEW Connah's Quay manager Jim Hackett has moved quickly to replace goalkeeper Paul Smith, who has followed former boss Neville Powell to Bangor City.
Nomads have signed former Wrexham trainee Daniel Evans, a 22-year-old who was placed on standby for the Wales Under-19 squad in 2004.
Evans has previously appeared in the Welsh Premier for Bangor City, making five appearances in 2003/4 on loan from The Racecourse to deputise for Phil Priestley.
11 June 2007

NOMADS HAPPY TO REBUILD SQUAD

Striker Tommy Mutton was unable to attend Hackett's first meeting.
NEW Connah's Quay manager Jim Hackett is preparing to rebuild his squad after a lukewarm response from the remaining players on Deeside.
Captain Marc Limbert and keeper Paul Smith have already followed former boss Nev Powell down the A55 to Bangor City, with Craig Garside signing for Rhyl and likely to be followed by Phil Molyneaux.
Powell is expected to return for one or two more to bolster his Bangor side and, with no commitment to re-sign from any of the existing players, Hackett is using his contacts to build a squad capable of challenging in the Welsh Premier next season.
A first meeting with the remaining Nomads last week saw forwards Tommy Mutton and Stuart Cooke unable to attend for work reasons, Danny Jellicoe and Chris Melia on holiday and both Adam Dickenson and Dave Swanick on their way to Australia seeking trials. Chris Sergeant also didn't show up.
Hackett says he has certainly not closed the door on any of the existing squad signing but is confident he can find players good enough to replace them and compete in the league next season.
He has already signed ex-Wrexham youth keeper Dan Evans and also has two young ex-Chester midfielder's lined-up, along with two defenders and two strikers, all with Welsh Premier experience, but has refused to name them at this stage in case the deals go sour.
12 June 2007

BOWES REJECTS PREMIER MOVE

Bowes is to remain at Bastion Road.
PROLIFIC Cymru Alliance marksman Steve Bowes has resisted overtures from Welsh Premier clubs to remain with Prestatyn next season.
A former West Bromwich Albion and Nottingham Forest youth, Bowes netted 53 times for the Bastion Road outfit last season and hit the headlines by scoring a league record seven goals for Prestatyn against Queens Park.
He was promptly signed on second forms by then Bangor City manager Steve Bleasdale, later also registering with Caernarfon Town, but failed to appear for either side.
However, Bowes has now assured Prestatyn officials he will be staying.
"Steve has informed our new manager Neil Gibson that he will be signing for us for next season, which is terrific news for everyone at the club,” said chairman Tony Thackeray.

HULSE RAIDS BLOODS FOR RUFFER

Carl Ruffer, former Chester City midfielder.
RHYL manager John Hulse has signed former Everton junior and Chester City defender/midfielder Carl Ruffer.
The highly experienced 32-year-old has joined the Lilywhites from Conference North champions Droylsden, where he was a team-mate of Rhyl striker Dave Cameron, and follows Hulse's capture of striker Calvin Davies from Welshpool last week.
Ruffer signed professional forms at Goodison Park, later moving to Runcorn where he spent several seasons before joining Chester City in 2000.
He was part of the City side that won the Conference in 2003/4 and the following season signed for Morecambe, moving to the Bloods in November 2005, where he captained the side to title last season.
Ruffer was voted Fans Player of the Year at Droylsden and Conference North Player of the Year.
"Carl is an inspirational player and a tremendous acquisition," Hulse told www.lilywhites.northwalesblogs.co.uk
"Hopefully this will show the fans how determined I am to bring quality players to Rhyl."
Hulse revealed another top player from the English non-league pyramid system could sign for Rhyl at the weekend, and negotiations are ongoing to capture a top Welsh Premier performer this week.

THREE RECRUITS FOR NOMADS
Jim Hackett is bringing in three more potential recruits [Flintshire Chronicle].
BEFORE jetting-off to Spain for a holiday, new Connah's Quay manager Jim Hackett lined-up three new faces to attend pre-season on Deeside, with a view to signing for the Nomads.
Best-known of the trio is striker Stewart White, a former Wales Schoolboys Under-18, who represented the Welsh Colleges Under-19s and also played for the League of Wales Under-19s.
White had trials with Wrexham, Oldham and Morecambe, and made 15 substitute appearances for Rhyl in seasons 2002/3 and 2003/4 without ever being selected for a full start.
After signing for Airbus in February 2006, where he made seven Welsh Premier appearances, he spent some time in Rhyl's Reserves, signing for Steve Bleasdale at Bangor City in February and appearing five times from the bench.
Hackett's other triallists are left-footed central midfielder and former Rochdale junior Nicky Taylor and Wayne Morgan, who was released by Chester at the end of last season, and can operate either as a fullback or in midfield.

DENBIGH MARKSMAN FLIES TO ROBINS

Williams Cooke scored 26 goals for Denbigh Town last season.
RICHARD Williams Cooke scored twice for Denbigh Town against Newtown in last season's Welsh Cup and has now been offered the chance to boost the Robins' Welsh Premier firepower by manager Darren Ryan.
Highly influential in Denbigh's double-winning campaign which sees them promoted to the Cymru Alliance for next season, Williams Cooke was the club's top scorer with 26 goals.
"I personally feel that I have played really well so no doubt that has helped me attract the interest," he says.
"I have always wanted to play in the Welsh Premier League and am really impressed with the set-up and the way manager Darren Ryan talked about his plans."
Williams Cooke spent a year at Everton's Centre of Excellence and also had a trial at Burnley, before playing with Ruthin Town, Colwyn Bay YMCA, Trefnant Village, Lex XI and Chirk AAA.
He is the latest in a stream of Denbigh players who now ply their trade in the Welsh Premier, including new Rhyl striker Calvin Davies, Connah's Quay duo Tommy Mutton and Danny Jellicoe, Welshpool's Craig Wilkinson and Ceri James, and NEWI Cefn Druids' wingman Osian Jones.

BANGOR'S RACE AGAINST TIME

Fire damage at Bangor's Farrar Road stadium [Tomos Lewis].
BANGOR City face a race against time to have their fire-damaged Farrar Road ground ready for the new season.
Part of the main stand at the Council-owned stadium was destroyed last month and Bangor town clerk Gwyn Hughes has raised fears that repairs and rebuilding will take longer than anticipated.
"As far as the insurance is concerned we've had the structural engineering report and are waiting for three quotes from demolition contractors," he told a Council meeting this week.
"It's an extremely complicated demolition, there's no support for anybody to go on top of the roof and it's liable to collapse.
"Surveys for asbestos and other materials also need to be done, health and safety is a massive issue on something like this."
Asked by Councillor and City fan Bryn Hughes if the ground would be ready for the start of the season in August, Hughes added: "You can't guarantee anything with the building industry, once we get them it will take just a few weeks, but it's getting them that's the problem."
Repairs will be mainly cosmetic as the Citizens hope to move to a new stadium at Nantporth for 2008/9. If Farrar Road is unavailable, City could be forced to reverse early home fixtures to opponents' grounds or ground-share, possibly at Morfa Conwy.

LEAGUE TO PROBE PLAY-OFF PLAN

A place in the Uefa InterToto Cup would be up for grabs via a play-off proposal.
AN INCREASE in prize money for the winners of next season’s Welsh Premier League, a new format for the League Cup, and an investigation into the introduction of a play-off system for European entry were among the chief items to come out of yesterday’s AGM at Llandudno.
And the league could have a financial partner to marry up with the Principality Building Society, a situation which could be confirmed in the next week or so.
Member clubs were told that the cash paid to the champions at the end of the next campaign would go up to £15,000, falling in line with the amount received by the winners of the Loosemores League Cup, which will have a new format next season.
Clubs will be organised into six groups of three, with the top six going forward into the quarter-finals with the two best runners-up.
Club officials also heard that the league's board of directors are to investigate the possibility of a play-off system being introduced to decide the Welsh InterToto Cup entrant. Currently the WPL’s third-placed side plays in Europe's third-most important competition.
The meeting also rubber-stamped the promotions of Welsh League winners Neath Athletic and Cymru Alliance champions Llangefni while voting results were also given for board membership.
Port Talbot Town chairman Andrew Edwards was returned unopposed to replace Carmarthen Town counterpart Jeff Thomas, who has stood down as South Wales representative.
Mid Wales representative Garth Williams, formerly of Caersws, has also stood down and will be replaced by Aberystwyth Town’s Tony Bates while a secret ballot was used to earn Phil Jones, of Porthmadog, the North Wales seat from previous incumbent Gwyn Pierce Owen, the Bangor City president.
At the annual dinner, The New Saints' boss Ken McKenna received the manager of the season award, with the Golden Boot for the highest scorer going to Llanelli's Rhys Griffiths for the second consecutive year.

Mickey Evans Steps Down.......
Long serving Caersws manager Mickey Evans has stepped down. He leaves The Bluebirds after last season's League Cup triumph. Or does he! The resignation story is the headline on the official welsh premier website. However the well established, and to be fair, well respected unofficial site carries a denial from the former Wrexham defender, suggesting that a forthcoming meeting will decide his fate! Watch this space!

Wayne Phillips is The Archdruid.......
There is wider agreement that Wayne Phillips is the new boss at Cefn Druids. assisted by Lee Jones.
Phillips has experience as manager at Caernarfon Town where his reign ended last season, ironically with former Druids boss Steve O'Shaughnessy saving the Canaries from relegation with a late revival. How the former Wrexham pair will fare at Plaskanaston remains to be seen, but local rumours that Dave Taylor was "lined up" for the job seem wide of the mark! Much is he isn`t he with Dave Taylor at the moment he has had his name linked to a few clubs.

SILVER LINING FOR DRUIDS

Druids hope to leave their Plas Kynaston home within two years.
RECENT financial problems at NEWI Cefn Druids could soon be a distant memory as the club revealed plans to relocate.
After being unable to pay players for several weeks towards the end of last season, chairman Brian Mackie has confirmed that the Ancients' white knight is a firm of developers who want to develop the existing ground at Plas Kynaston Lane.
Subject to successful negotiations and planning permission, Druids would move to a new £2 million stadium just a mile away in Rhosymedre. The ground would be Uefa-compliant, ensuring that the club can retain its membership of the Welsh Premier when stricter licensing criteria come into force in season 2009/10.
Plans also include a new and larger social club, which is essential to future financial security, and a new lease which would have a minimum term as least as long as the existing one in Cefn Mawr. In any event, Mackie says the Druids' off the field outlook "is looking very bright" after the accounts showed considerable progress in reducing inherited debt.
The site of former railway sidings, Plas Kynaston Lane was the home of Druids United from the late 1950s and has been used since the merger with Cefn Albion in 1992 and Druids' subsequent elevation to the top flight.

Paul Smith, ever-present during Rhyl's treble winning season of 2003/4.
GOALKEEPER Paul Smith is the first player confirmed to have followed former Connah's Quay manager Neville Powell down the North Wales coast to Bangor City. Smith started his career as a youth with the Nomads and was initially signed as cover by Rhyl in January 2002 before service at TNS, Flint Town United and Colwyn Bay.
He returned to Belle Vue as first-choice for t he treble-winning season, but fell out of favour in 2004/5 and returned to Deeside in the summer of 2005. One of the most experienced stoppers in the league, he has clocked-up 188 Welsh Premier appearances over 10 seasons.

QUEENS PARK BRIDGE THE GAP

A new name and new logo for Gap Queens Park.
REPRIEVED from relegation because there was only one applicant for promotion, Cymru Alliance outfit Queens Park have unveiled ambitious plans for the future. Specialist recruitment provider Gap Personnel, who are already a sponsor at Wrexham, have come in to rescue the club that came close to folding after finishing the season with just 10 points. Gary Dewhurst, who heads-up what is one of the UK's largest independent agencies with offices nationwide, is the new chairman and benefactor of the club that plays at Wrexham's Queensway Stadium. He has high hopes that they can follow the example set by TNS who won the Cymru Alliance in 1993 and have gone on to become the leading club in Welsh football, playing in Europe year on year. The club will now be known as Gap Queens Park and will play in the company colours of all white with maroon and navy blue. Stewart Roberts, who was involved previously with NEWI Cefn Druids, will lead the club as general manager. with qualified coach Levi Lloyd as football manager. Secretary Trevor Green has held similar positions with clubs in the English
system and Ruthin Town. "We have identified 20 of the area's finest non league players as targets and are in negotiations at present to bring in a well known former Wrexham
and Chester City favourite to the club as player coach," says a statement from Queens Park, who say they aim to establish themselves as the town's second club and gain promotion to the Welsh Premier.

MANAGER EVANS DENIES QUIT REPORT

Mickey Evans says his future at Caersws is still undecided. MICKEY Evans has denied that he has already resigned as manager of Caersws, but his future will become clearer after a meeting with club officials scheduled for Tuesday night. The longest-serving manager in the Welsh Premier, Evans traditionally meets annually with the club's committee to discuss plans for the coming campaign, and both he and club officials are surprised that the Welsh Premier League's
official website is carrying a story that claims he has already "stepped down".
With cash tight and the Bluebirds' future uncertain, he may feel that now is the time to go, "but nothing has been decided yet," he emphasised this afternoon.
Caersws born and bred, Evans has held the reins at the Recreation Ground for 18 consecutive seasons and is the only one of the current managers to have been in the dugout when the League of Wales kicked-off in 1992. His achievements include three League Cup wins, most recently a penalty shoot-out success against Rhyl at the end of last season.

FARRAR ROAD STAND HIT BY FIRE

The main stand at Bangor City's Farrar Road was damaged by a fire which struck in the early hours of Saturday morning. Emergency services were called to the blaze shortly after midnight and managed to restrict the damage to an area above the main players' entrance. An electrical fault in the PA system is though to have caused the outbreak with the worst affected areas said to be the commentary box and the directors' seating area. The club says a more detailed assessment of the damage will take place during the week. 19 May 2007

JIWS TO MANAGE CONNAH'S QUAY LLOYD WILLIAMS:
The Welsh Premier's all-time record goal scorer. Lloyd Williams career details Welsh Premier legends: Marc Lloyd Williams THE Welsh Premier's record goalscorer, Marc Lloyd Williams, will be named as the new manager of Connah's Quay.

After Neville Powell departed to take up the reins at Bangor, his assistant, Alun Morgan, last week declined an offer to step-up into the role and followed his former boss to Farrar Road. The Nomads' board has now turned to Lloyd Williams, who was released by ex-Bangor boss Steve Bleasdale at the end of the season. Known as Jiws, Lloyd Williams signed for TNS in season 2004/5 after scoring 176 Welsh Premier goals for Porthmadog, Bangor (where he won a championship medal) and Aberystwyth. He had moved from Bangor to the Football League with Stockport County, Halifax and York City, but returned to the Citizens to break the league goal-scoring record with 47 in 2001/2 and would have won the European Golden Boot award had Wales enjoyed a higher Uefa coefficient.

A Wales 'B' and semi-professional international, he became the first to score 200 Welsh Premier goals at Caernarfon in January 2005, also breaking the TNS club scoring record and again winning the league's Golden Boot award with 34 goals.

In his third spell back at Bangor last season following his releas by TNS he added another 19 goals. It is not known whether Lloyd Williams will continue to play - he has 255 league goals from 324 starts - but this will be a first crack at management for the 34-year-old, who is currently taking his Uefa 'A' Licence qualification. His first task will be to stabilise the successful squad at the Deeside Stadium, with several players already being targeted by other clubs during a period of uncertainty. 22 May 2007


The Cymru Alliance League AGM will take place on Sunday June 17th. At Llandudno Town FC


WNL {Wrexham Area} LEAGUE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Tuesday 26 June 2007 at Brymbo Sports & Social Club 7:15pm


PROMOTED CLUBS PLAY FINAL GAMES

WELSH Premier-bound Neath Athletic brought the curtain down on their successful season by lifting the Tony Nakonecznyj West Wales Senior Cup on Wednesday night, writes Owain Johns.
The Welsh League champions defeated Second Division neighbours Garden Village 2-1, at a rain-swepped Llandarcy Park, but were made to work hard for their victory.
An impressive first-half performance saw the visitors take the lead through Lee Rastatter shortly before the break, but it was the same player who put through his own net on 76 minutes to level the scoreline. Neath now had the momentum and in the very last minute were awarded a penalty which was converted by Jarrod Price.

Meanwhile, champions Llangefni Town bade farewell to the Cymru Alliance with a 1-1 home draw against Anglesey rivals Holyhead Hotspur. Ironically, the match postponed a fortnight ago because the pitch was too hard almost failed to take place again on a rainsoaked surface that was
marginally passed fit to play. Llangefni's 16-match unbeaten run looked under threat when Curt
Williams put Spurs ahead after 56 minutes, but Town levelled through a Lee Dixon header eight minutes from time.

Queens Pride Intact...

A playing record which yielded just ten points from 34 games guaranteed Queens Park relegation back to the Welsh National League. 134 goals conceded against just 40 scored. Points deducted along the way for turning up to a fixture short of numbers.
So why the mention here?
Given these circumstances many clubs would have folded and withdrawn from the league weeks ago. Not so Queens Park who fulfilled their fixtures, took some fearful beatings, but brought their curtain down yesterday with a five all draw with Penrhyncoch. A lot of credit is due to those determined invididuals who made sure the Wrexham side did not fold, well done.

Prestatyn Floored By Fuller Loss

Free scoring Prestatyn have been hit by the resignation of manager Dave Fuller.
The former Bangor City and Southport favourite has cited work and family commitments as his reason and has left the club with immediate effect. He had fashioned a side who scored more than 100 goals this season, assisted by a bumper haul of 50 plus from top scorer Steve Bowes.
Fuller was a popular and versatile member of the Bangor side along with new blues boss Nev Powell and other favourites Derek Goulding and Kevin Mooney. His loss leaves Prestatyn with a major headache as they enter the so called off season!
