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.
