Aaron was a truly inspirational little boy, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, we are thinking of you at this tragic time.
Everyone at Buckley Town sends our best wishes to our former left-back Matty Roberts and hope that he recovers soon. Matt was out on Thursday running but suffered a suspected cardiac arrest. He is currently in hospital recovering. Get well soon Matt.

It's Buckley stalwart Mike Williams' 78th birthday today and he's in his 60th year of volunteering. Mike is a complete legend, and is also the nicest guy you could ever wish to meet.
Mr Williams, sir, we salute you, there are no words to express our gratitude, have a great day.
By the way, it would be remiss of us not to thank the travelling
@chesterfc
fans who came to The Globe last night. Impeccably behaved, friendly, respectful and enjoying a cracking game of football. Good luck in the coming season, we’ll see you next year!

Terrible scenes tonight with a massive fire on the industrial estate. We hope everyone is safe, and have opened the ground for the firefighters to use the facilities.

A Derby Day victory is that much sweeter when you realise that we're the only team to have beaten Mold at home this season... the fightback continues as Max seals the win with a goal from an impossible angle... pics & Asa's interview to follow.

game a day full of memories for Aaron, our little warrior. We also paid our respects to 'Bones'. Diolch to all involved.
With over 60 years' BTFC volunteering under his belt, we wish a Happy Birthday to Mr Buckley himself, the legend that is Mike Williams. Mike, we salute you, and we're happy to see you back at the ground and showing the young 'uns on the Facilities Team how to do it.

Update on Rob Jones, he has been operated on for a dislocated ankle, he's is good spirits but has sustained a painful injury.
From the club players, staff and fans, our best wishes for a speedy recovery, we're all behind you Rob.
Thanks to all those who came and supported Buckley Town v Llanuwchllyn this afternoon. An incredible crowd of 228 applauded off both teams. Grassroots football at its best.
Say hello to 24yr old 'keeper Ryan Goldston, joining BTFC from Ruthin Town. Dan Moore: "I'm excited to welcome Ryan, who is a proven & established goalkeeper, adding strength & know-how to our squad, providing healthy competition for Jim, and of course, depth in their position."
Buckley Town was the 4th best-supported club in the HGA league during the 2018-19 season according to figures published by the league today with an average attendance over the season for the 15 league games played of 250. For more see:
We are disappointed with the
@CymruLeagues
suspension, but games with no matchday income would have placed huge financial pressure on clubs. The safety of players, volunteers & supporters takes priority. Now we plan for a return to play in 2022.
Stay Safe, have a good Christmas!
Sadly. we recently lost former BTFC player Gareth (Gaz) Edwards at just 32 years of age, so in celebration of Gaz’s life and to raise funds for the Maelor ICU, a date for your diaries: A Game For Gareth is on 30/07 at The Globe. Details to follow. We’ll see you there, of course!
