Pontyclun FC are delighted to announce that Eliot Davey & Martin Lawrence will be taking over as First Team Coaches for the 2017 season. This follows Adrian James stepping down at the end of the 2017 season, everyone at the club would like to thank Adrian for everything he did for the club. Adrian helped bring stability following our relegation from the Welsh League and led the club to their first cup final in many years. He has left a young, talented squad for Eliot & Martin to work with and everyone will remember the work he put in over the last 4 years.
Eliot returns to the club following his retirement from playing at the end of 2012 and has previously managed the club during their time in Welsh League Division 2. He has been involved with the club for almost 15 years and brings a wealth of footballing and local knowledge to the team.
Martin has won the clubman of the year multiple times and has been managing the youth team for several years. Martin has received many plaudits for the amount of players he has helped come through into the senior setup and the club were delighted when he accepted the opportunity to be involved in the First Team coaching setup.
The two coaches will support First Team Manager, Barry Quinn, and be assisted by Joel Woodington (Assistant Coach) and Huw Jones (Goalkeeping Coach) for the 2016-2017 season.
Pre-season begins Tuesday 5th July, 6.30pm at Ivor Park and everyone at the club wishes all new and old personnel the best of luck for the season.

This year we will be leaving the familiar settings of Taunton Town’s hospitality and instead we will be facing Staplegrove FC of the Somerset Counties League. The game will be played on a 3G facility in Taunton and we will then go back to Staplegrove’s clubhouse to enjoy their hospitality.
The trip will involve an overnight stay in Taunton, with a bus leaving on the morning of Saturday 30th July and returning on the afternoon of the 31st July.

Pontyclun Football Club will be hosting their 10th Annual Gentlemans Evening on Friday 20th May at Pontyclun Athletic Club. The Club are delighted to announce that this years guest speaker , will be ex Burnley, Wolves and England B International Steve Kindon.
One of the genuine “characters” of football, Steve Kindon is a great raconteur whose contribution to any dinner is guaranteed to have the audience rolling with laughter.
With over 160 first-class goals to his credit, this former strikerleft winger starred with Wolves, Burnley and Huddersfield in the 70’s and 80’s and he also won caps for England in the Youth team, the under-23’s and England B.
For seven years running, he gained the title of the fastest footballer in Britain at the annual competition at the Meadowbank Stadium.
Nowadays, “Kindo” – as he is affectionately known – prefers to take a more leisurely pace, though travelling the length and breadth of the country at sporting and corporate dinners throughout the land where his humorous reminiscences always leave the audience wanting more.
He is now very much in demand on the after dinner circuit, as he is certainly one of the best football speakers around.
The night promises to be one of the best with comedy and compering provided by Jed Stone and some surprises in store for the auction, which last year included signed shirts from Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez.
Tickets are £35 and include a 4 course meal. As always they sell out fast with a large proportion sold to returning happy guests!
If you would like any more information or reserve your table then please get in touch directly with Tyrone Pope on 0773 329756 or tyronepope@uwclub.net

Pontyclun FC are having a fundraiser on the 27th February which will be held at the Pontyclun Athletic Club. The event will be a race night and based on previous race nights will no doubt be a huge success and raise lots of funds for the club whilst having lots of fun in the process.
Doors will open at 7.30pm in the function hall and the first race will be at 8pm.
The club relies on the support of everyone involved in the club and without the volunteers who arrange these fundraisers and help the club tirelessly we would not be able to run such a successful club which is at the heart of the community. We hope to see lots of friends/families who are involved in the club from all ages and hopefully lots of people from the community will attend also to support the club and to have a good night.
The club would like to thank Tudor Davies for arranging the evening and the Athletic Club for hosting it.
Tickets are available from Tudor Davies (07919 591409) and it will be Free Entry on the night.
