We’ve had the devastating news that our beloved friend Mike Edwards has passed away this morning following his brave fight with cancer. An inspiration over these last 6 months, you’ll forever be remembered Eddy! Our thoughts are with your Family & Many friends

So so disappointing to see perhaps the worst vandalism we’ve seen. New dugouts, advertising boards and stand attacked again. A fence is the only answer. Good people are walking away from our club. We could actually be about to fold!

Unfortunately the hearing over the abandoned match at Porthmadog last night was adjourned due to an issue outside both clubs control. We are no clearer at the moment whether the game is to be replayed, but have re-iterated our feelings that the result should stand as a Port win
