Latest - Ysceifiog achieve double
The final of the shield was played at Llanrhaeadr on Friday, July 25th at 7:00pm between Llangynhafal and Ysceifiog on a beautiful balmy evening and with the pitch in good order a good match ensued.
The early exchanges were fairly even but Ysceifiog's goal machine went 2- nil up before Garmon Hafal's thunderbolt caught goalkeeper Andy Hughes napping to pull a goal back. However Ysceifiog made the game safe with two further goals to make it 4-1; their goals were scored by Danny Jones (2), Simon Holloway and Liam O'Malley.
The match was watched by over 300 spectators and many stayed to watch the presentation carried out by the League President - Mr Robert Emlyn Jones; he presented the famous trophy to captain Danny Jones who was also presented with the Man-of-the match trophy, narrowly won over Alex Hodge the other nomination, chosen by an independent panel.
It was good to see many football travellers at the match and making use of our website.
Shield Semi finals
1st semi was held at Llannefydd on Monday 21st of July
Caerwys lost by the odd goal to Llangynhafal in a very tight encounter; both teams were cautious and Caerwys missed a number of chances before falling to Llangynhafal's only goal scoring opportunity which was taken by Tom Sharples.
The second semi played at Rhewl on Tuesday July 22nd was a much better game; between table topping Ysceifiog and previous League Champions Clawddnewydd. Clawdd scored first through Llion Jones; however they were pegged back by two goals from top league scorer - Dave Holloway and goals from Danny Jones and Tim Hughes.

Junior 7-a-side competition AT RHEWL
Eleven teams turned out for this competition on July 12th, 2008. An afternoon of excellent football was enjoyed in clement weather. The only disappointment was the non appearance of four of the clubs namely Nantglyn, Clawddnewydd, Llanfair and Ysceifiog, the latter three failing to turn-up with teams at both Junior 7-a-side competitions.
The teams were spit into 2 leagues with Caerwys pipping Rhewl 'B' on goal difference to win League A. Rhewl 'A' won the second League from Cefn who scraped through in second place on goal difference from Llanrhaeadr
Ian Williams of Rhewl 'A' scored to beat Rhewl 'B' 1-0 to win the first semi whilst Cefn kept improving and scored through Jake Walker and Gruffuth Jones to beat Caerwys 2-0 to win the second semi.
With Rhewl 'A' being favourites to win the title again, they were surprised by Cefn who went into a 2 goal lead again being scored by Jake Walker and Gruffuth Jones before Rhewl scored through Iolo Jones to make it a very exciting last few minutes. Cefn deserved their victory and having lost their first two games of the afternoon they made a remarkable comeback.

The top two from each group progressed to the semi-finals; in the first, Llangynhafal beat Caerwys 2- 1 with Jack Salmon scoring twice for the victors and Tomos Burton replying. The second semi saw Llannefydd beating Nantglyn 1-0 with Morgan Owen scoring.
