Letter: Newtown fans must now put their trust in youngsters
The photograph in the County Times (16/5/25) showing Newtown FC as Central Wales Youth Cup winners should give optimism to all the club's supporters. During the next few weeks, the club's committee will be announcing its retained list of players for the forthcoming season. I would think that many of the current squad will either be released or choose to leave. This will give an opportunity to many of the youth team to show what they can do at a senior level. Results may not be immediate, but the lads shown in the photograph are the club's future. Last year, Colwyn Bay were also relegated from the League of Wales. Within one season, however, they returned in style, with a squad of young, home grown players, supported by a small number of senior professionals. If Colwyn Bay can do it, why not Newtown? Relegation was clearly a blow, but there can be good times ahead for everyone associated with Newtown AFC.

No double joy to end a great campaign for Brickfield Rangers
Rangers, who lifted the Ardal North East League title a week ago, couldn't add more silverware as Porthmadog, who finished third in the North West League, deservedly took the honours. Dan Brookwell gave Porthmadog the perfect start with a second minute goal and it was 2-0 on 20 minutes as Tom Hilditch scored from the spot. Both players also netted again although Hilditch was shown a red card with 12 minutes to go. Rangers' consolation goal came from top scorer Andy Vale. While Brickfield head into Cymru North, Llay Welfare will take their place in the Ardal North set-up. And it's all change at the club where former first team boss Mike Gadie, who led Llay to Cymru North 12 months before they were relegated after one season, has taken over as chairman. And he has announced the club's new manager as Neill Hughes. 'Following our relegation back to Tier 3, it was crucial to bring in someone with a deep understanding of the league and local football scene - and Neill ticks all the boxes,' said Gadie. 'Having come up against him during our time in the Ardal North West, I was always impressed by the work rate, discipline and attitude of his sides. 'After an initial conversation and a positive meeting with myself and the vice-chairmen, it quickly became clear that Neill shares our vision for the future of the club. We're confident he's the right person to lead us into this exciting new chapter.' Hughes said: 'I am delighted to be taking on the opportunity of managing such a great club. 'Everybody I've met is passionate and proud of the Welly and what is developing. Myself and my coaching team can't wait to get started and help play a part in shaping the club's future'. In the final game of the North East Wales League season, Penyffordd Lions beat FC Queen's Park 4-1 in Group B of the Reserves Division. Matt Holmes blasted in a hat-trick in the victory.

Trophy treble finishes great season on a high for Airbus
After just missing out on the Cymru North title following an epic race with eventual champions Colwyn Bay, Airbus have shook off this disappointment in style by claiming a trophy hat-trick. On the back of winning the Cymru North Cup and Cymru Cup, the Wingmakers lifted the North East Wales FA Challenge Cup for the first time in their history via a 4-0 triumph over Holywell Town in the final. Reflecting on the support he has received from the backroom staff this season, boss Allen told the club's website: 'They are a real pleasure to work with and have supported me throughout the season in a number of ways that people don't see, as well as the obvious ones. I can't speak highly enough of them all.' George Peers, Josh Stevenson, Sam Baker and Ieuan Jones-Wellstead shared the goals to make sure of the trophy treble for Airbus. Corwen lifted the North East Wales Reserves' Cup courtesy of a 2-1 outcome against Mynydd Isa and FC Queen's Park pipped Rhostyllen 1-0 to lift the Horace Wynne Cup.
