Pontyclun got back to winning ways after an extended Christmas break due to the weather. After a disappointing end to the 2014 year in the league Barry’s Boys were keen to make a strong start to 2015 and where better to start than against unbeaten league leaders Merthyr Saints.
With a number of players out through suspension and First Team coach Adrian James being unavailable through illness it was always going to be a tough ask. Being reduced to 10 men inside 10 minutes didn’t help but despite this the team produced one of their best performances in some time to fight back to win 2-1 in the dying minutes.
Due to two disappointing defeats at the end of 2014 the league has been put out of the boys’ hands, however with a few games left against the top sides the Clun could definitely have an impact on where the league ends up, and you never know stranger things have happened!

Pontyclun once again took centre stage, in the amateur league round up in the Western Mail, as for the first time this season they moved to top of the table. A convincing home win over local rivals Treforest took them to the top whilst doing the double over their neighbours at the same time.
The victory extended the Clun’s unbeaten run to 8 games with 7 wins and 1 draw in that time and some great football was put on show for the local supporters, with a good turnout at Ivor Park. Craig Williams took his goal tally to 7 for the year whilst Joel Woodington remains top scorer taking his tally to 15. Manager Barry Quinn and First Team Coach Adrian James were delighted with the win but are aware that tougher tests await their young side. The last two fixtures of November see Pontyclun firstly visit second placed Aber Valley and then they host title contenders and last years champions Trefelin on the 29th November.
Both games could be described as “six pointers” in their bid to return to the Welsh League as the league begins to take shape as we approach the winter break.

Every year Welsh Football Magazine has a competition to find the best football programme in Wales. Last year our programme came first in the ‘Other Leagues’ category and was awarded seventh place in the Best in Wales rankings. The judge of the competition, Dave Collins, the editor of Welsh Football Magazine described our programme as follows “I saw some good ‘one-offs’ but of the regular issuers that came my way, those I especially liked (was) the weighty labour of love from Pontyclun.”
The final Best In Wales ranking for 2013-2014 was:
- Bala Town
- Port Talbot Town
- Airbus UK Broughton
- Cefn Druids
- Barry Town
- The New saints
- Pontyclun
- Abertillery Excelsiors
- Llanelli Town
- Briton Ferry
Of those clubs who were placed above us, five of the six are League of Wales clubs whilst the other, Barry Town, have a much bigger fan base than ourselves. Our target for this season is to try and make the top five of this competition so if anyone has any material they would like to include or ideas for articles then please get in touch.

A few murmurings about where Pontyclun FC could end up this season have began to surface among the local faithful as they extended their unbeaten league run to move up to second place in the South Wales Amateur League.
Not only is their form being discussed in the Athletic club, but in this weeks edition of the South Wales Echo Pontyclun’s dominant performance over local rivals Treforest stole the headline and there was a special mention for the in form striker Joel Woodington with a superb hat-trick on the day.
Games in hand for surrounding clubs mean the table isn’t perhaps a true reflection of where teams will be by Christmas but with confidence sky high and some big games coming in November they definitely are putting themselves in the mix.
