NB: Due to restructuring of the Welsh Premier League & Welsh Leagues, at least the bottom 7 teams in Division 2 will be relegated at the end of the 2009/10 Season. This will increase for each Welsh Premier League Team from the South who do not finish in the top ten this season and subsequently end up back in the Welsh League. E.g. If one southern team is relegated back into the Welsh League it will become the bottom 8 go down, if 2 are relegated back into the Welsh League at least the bottom 9 will go down and so on.

The 1st Division will relegate at least the bottom 5 clubs and Division Three waving goodbye to at least the bottom 9 clubs out of the league and back into local football - obviously these may increase by using the same criteria as Division 2.

Manager's Corner

garethmorgan7 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:20:47 CST

This week sees the 1st Team build up to our last 16 tie in the Welsh League Cup at Llangeinor. After a stop start month with each game followed by a weekend without a fixture due to International games and poor weather it is a game I really hope survives the weather so that the players can look to bounce back from our narrow defeat at Cardiff Bay two weeks ago.

The Welsh League Cup, as I said before the last two rounds, is a competition that we are taking seriously and have done since the 1st round. Having said that, I have little doubt that Llangeinor will be relishing the opportunity for more cup success this season away from the pressure of the battle at the basement of our division. In the last round they beat high flying Division 1 Club Caldicot on their home patch so this should be the evidence needed that this will be a tough game for us if we are to progress to the last 8 of the competition. Our opponents will also boast some players that I have a lot of respect for having faced them as 1st Division Players of Cambrian & Clydach for many years when I was with Dinas Powys. They have the quality to win any game so we will need to be switched on.

I am pleased with how the squad is shaping up on the whole. The attitude of the players we have has improved beyond recognition since I took over with attendances at our weekly training sessions higher than they have ever been in my time and the work ethic most of them show is pleasing too. The message, it would seem, has hit home that only players who are fit and sharp will keep a place in the team and the players have responded. The work and fitness levels that we have been working hard to maintain will pay off in the latter stages of games on the heavy pitches that we will be encountering in the coming months and later on in the season when we have games coming in thick and fast.

On the subject of the league, I am not concerned that we are sitting in the middle of the table at this stage at all. We have played 9 league games so far with 7 away from home and just 2 at home and in that time we have been beaten just twice. It is a team that has been shaping itself for six months and it is starting to take a more consistent shape now which in the coming weeks I expect to pay dividends.

We now have a run of 7 home and 1 away game in our next 8 league games after the cup game this Saturday and with our home form in all competitions having been so strong this season it is during this time - weather permitting - that I hope and expect the team to start taking maximum points from games and pushing us up the league table. Back to back wins would do just that very quickly. We are six points off UWIC who occupy the last promotion place at present, but we have five games in hand on them. The target must be to come out of the end of this run of home games right in the mix for the top three!

It seems like months since Jody Jenkins was sent off at UWIC. Jody has now served his three match ban, but the fortunate so and so is currently in the sun of Egypt. Llangeinor is the last game that Jody is due to miss so it will be great to have him back in the fold for that run of league games I mentioned. He has proved time and time again this season that he is the finest goalscorer in our division - and is right up there with the best in any Welsh League Division so we look forward to seeing him back in the lineup very soon.

On the Injury front: -

Michael Brooks has now had some physiotherapy on his hamstring injury and has been told he will be out for another three weeks. However, it is unlikely that he will return to the team before Christmas because he will need some training and to bring his fitness levels back up before he is ready to play.

Rhys Nadin has had a good week and has reported a marked improvement in the condition of his knee. It is still unknown how long he will remain sidelined though. Clearly Rhys will need a period of training again once he is given the all clear as he has been out without any training at all since the 10th of October.

Match Preview

garethmorgan7 — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:44:08 CST

Llangeinor Vs. Croesyceiliog
Nathaniel Car Sales Welsh League Cup Round 3
5th December 2009
Llangeinor Park, Llangeinor. 13:30 Kick Off

Croesy make the journey to Llangeinor Park this weekend to take on Division 2 rivals Llangeinor in the last 16 of the Welsh League Cup.

The hosts have struggled so far this season in the league, but have excelled in the cups, so Croesy will have to be at their best to progress to the quarter finals. In fact, Llangeinor knocked out Gwent's highest placed team - Caldicot Town - on their own ground in Round 2.

Llangeinor had started the season full of hope after they very publicly took five players from one of Division One's best teams, Cambrian & Clydach BGC. This included the prolific marksman, Darren Jones, who had been top scorer at the Rhondda Cynnon Taff club for three years in succession. However, for one reason or another, Llangeinor have not got the results they may have hoped for, so a day away from the pressures of league action will be a welcome bonus for them.

Croesy will be without Michael Brooks and Rhys Nadin through injury - both are likely to remain out of action for the remainder of the pre-Christmas schedule. Jody Jenkins is unavailable as he is on holiday in Egypt.

Croesy's squad for the fixture will be selected from the following: -

Jonathan Chorley, James Peckham, Mark Morris, Rhys Carr, Paul Brown, Huw Williams, Daniel Clouth, Gareth Pattimore, Richard Perry, Anthony Southard, Calum Miles, Gareth Wilmott, Ricky Coff, Nick McGrath, Ryan Fahey, Zac Osbourne, Lee Mason & Daniel Mais.

View this page for some peralers from inside the dressing room at Woodland Road.....

Quote Of The Month
-
-
So here we are, in October already and the latest monthly contenders to make it to the shortlist for "Quote of the season." October's quotes in contention for quote of the month are as follows: -

"Bloody hell, has Danny Jenkins put some weight on?" (Rhys Carr 03/10/2009) Carr made this comment in response to Goalkeeping Coach Rhodri "The Oracle" Morgan coming into the bar having changed into a tank top - something only usually seen on Dan Jenkins!
"Play your cards right tonight my love and you could be coming back to my Nan's!" (Michael Brooks 03/10/2009) Brooks made this statement to a lucky lady on the team night out.
On the field at Maesteg Park Jamie Jenkins said the following to Michael Brooks when he was arguing with the referee: "Brooko shut up will you he isn't going to change his mind is he....." This coming from the player who has already been booked five times this season for doing exactly that!

Hall of Fame - Shortlist for "Quote of the Season"

July Winner - "Hi Mate. I can't play tomorrow because my Tattoo still hasn't settled down." (Craig Griffiths, 17/07/2009)

August Winner - "Is Newport Stadium in Newport?" (Dave O'Gorman 27/08/2009)

September Winner - "Michael Brooks is the Saviour of Croesyceiliog Football Club." (Michael Brooks 05/09/2009)

The Mankini Hall Of Fame

garethmorgan7 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:03:34 CDT

Every club has some sort of horrible attire that the "idiot of the week" or "worst trainer" has to wear over his kit at training. Well for the 2009/10 season Croesyceiliog Football Club are proud to announce the unveilliing of their very own atire!

The Borat "Mankini" will be worn over the training kit of the player deemed most worthy each week! The hall of fame for the season - which will include 1st and 2nd Team Players - will be displayed here with the player who has worn it most times during the season having a "very special prize" at the end of season presentation!!

Mankini Award Winners Hall of Fame

Rhys Carr on 03/09/2009 - For his awful and embarrassing backpass at Newport Stadium on the 29th of September 2009 right into the path of one of the divisions most deadly strikers who duly opened the scoring against the run of play!

Michael Brooks - Fans Favourite on 09/09/2009 - For the following offences: -

Counting 2 free kicks scored in the warm up before the Cwmbran game with Jody Jenkins in goal as goals on his season's goal tally.
Posting "Michael Brooks is the saviour of Croesyceiliog Football Club as his Facebook status.
Rejecting his team mates to go and lap up the attentions of the supporters in the bar after the game.
Joining his own Facebook Fanclub.
Doing that ridiculous "You can't see me" goal celebration.
Spending the entire weekend after his goal at Cwmbran calling himself "Vidic" in his local pub.
Telling players from another 2nd Division Team that he is "The best header of the ball in Welsh League Football"
For claiming on his fansite message board that he "Saved Your (Manager, Gareth Morgan's) job!"
For turning up to watch his old teammates at Bridgend street wearing full Croesyceiliog training kit.

Ricky Coff on 16/09/2009 - For his inability to play or even turn up the previous Saturday due to drinking the day before the game when he was back in the starting 11 for the FAW Cup game with Risca. Coff has also been dropped to the reserves for at least the next game as a result.

Michael Brooks - Fans Favourite on 23/09/2009 - Despite strong competition from Mark Morris, Brooks picked up his second mankini award of the season for the following charges: -

Sulking, pouting and playing up to the sympathy of the supporters at Aberbargoed by sitting behind them moping around so they would all ask "Why aren't you playing Brooko...."
For telling players from other clubs that he gets paid fourty pounds a game at Croesy and is one of only three players who get paid!

Dave O'Gorman on 30/09/2009 - For his constant moaning and whining about being fined by the Tour Committee to the point that he was contacting 1st Team manager, Gareth Morgan, during the week asking him to "have a word" about it. He also lashed out at Morgan on Facebook, calling him "Judas" and claimed that his fines were nothing short of a "Witch hunt!" For his constant moaning he was awarded the mankini - and fined!!!

Jonathan Lowndes on 07/10/2009 - For his absolute nightmare of a performance for the reserve team on the previous Saturday, which was so bad that he was substituted after 20 minutes with his team 4-1 down! After Lowndes was withdrawn the team came back to take the game into extra time at 4-4.

Anthony Southard on 21/10/2009 - For the worst corner ever taken in the history of Football against Porthcawl Town on the 17th of October 2009. Tony's attempted short corner rolled slowly out of play about 6 inches from when it left his foot.
