23/8/11 – Pontyclun 5 UWIC 1

Administrator — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 09:51:20 +0000

Pontyclun were able to welcome back one or two absent players from the weekend and it paid dividends, with the Clun putting in an excellent display, scoring 5 goals, which could easily have been by another 4 or 5 with better finishing. Grabbing the headlines was Ryan Hill, with an excellent hat-trick, as well as youth products Jamie Williams and Matthew Trigg, who also scored fabulous goals. Pontyclun’s Gavin Thomas struck the angle of post and bar with a superb effort, which deserved a goal. Craig Roberts and James Russell were dominant in midfield, with Richard Cronin also a constant threat to the students. The Clun’s back four of Davies, Watson, Bowen and Davey were solid and keeper Davie also enjoyed a very good performance. Pontyclun Manager Barry Quinn and Coach Dean Wheeler now look forward to Saturday’s fixture at home to Undy Athletic.

Bridgend Street 4 Pontyclun 2

Administrator — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 12:39:32 +0000

Pontyclun eventually lost out 4-2 to big spending Bridgend Street. Manager Barry Quinn went into the game missing no fewer than 11 first team players, so this game was always going to be a tough one. After getting off to a shaky start, the Clun eventually found their feet and started to cause Bridgend Street real problems. Even having to allow for the 11 missing players, Pontyclun finished the game the stronger of the 2 teams and should have notched a few more. Credit to those who came in and played against a decent Bridgend Street team. The return game will be targeted as a win for the Clun when we have our squad available.

Ivor Park Building Review

Administrator — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:38:46 +0000

15th December 2010

Local members of Pontyclun Community Council recently made a visit to Ivor Park, home of MacWhirter Welsh League club, Pontyclun FC to review progress of the building of new changing facilities that are scheduled for completion by the end of the current season.

Club Secretary, Peter Shilton said “We have two senior teams and a youth team in the Welsh League and a number of mini and junior teams at various age levels. Our current facilities are outdated for present and future needs and a recent restructuring of senior leagues in Wales by the FAW means that clubs now have to meet improved standards at their grounds. The new changing facility will be located in a much better position at our ground and will include four separate changing/shower areas to accommodate both senior and junior needs. We will also have a large hospitality/meeting room with a kitchen area to provide refreshments, etc., to spectators and visiting teams. We have worked extremely hard at the Club to obtain the necessary planning approvals and raise sufficient funds to build this new facility and we are extremely grateful to those in the local community who have supported this project in different ways. In particular, we really appreciate the commitment given by Pontyclun Community Council to make a financial contribution of £10,000 towards the project”.

Carole Willis, Chair of Pontyclun Community Council said “The Council are delighted to support the Football Club in developing this new facility which will serve them and the local community for many years in the future”.

The Club has been running a successful “Buy a Brick” Scheme as part of its fund raising activities for this project whereby for a modest sum of £50 a permanent record recognising the contribution made will be provided inside the main entrance of the building.
