UPDATES
Firstly, apologies for the delay between the last bulletin
and this one. As visitors to our site will be aware we
have been busy preparing tables and histories which have
now been loaded.
We have made considerable inroads
in Mid-Wales with the Aberystwyth & District and Cardiganshire
Leagues slowly coming together. This will virtually complete
the area especially if the sporadic Welshpool and District
League can be covered.
North Wales has still some major gaps, especially in the
Clwyd League whilst the now defunct Halkyn Mountain and Dyserth
Leagues need further investigation.
In the hope that someone will come forward to help with
any partly covered league we have also included a missing
data page for each league on the site.
A special mention here for new member Keith Parry from Pwllheli
who is also researching a book on football in his town. Keith
has unearthed some data on long lost leagues in the Lleyn
area of North West Wales thus filling in some gaps in the
project. His eye for detail is superb!
Research is going rather slowly in
South Wales with the response to a request for volunteer
researchers to come forward proving very poor. We had hoped
that the current Leagues would assist our project by researching
their own leagues but so far only the Merthyr & District
and Aberdare Leagues taking it on.
Due to the large number of minor leagues involved within
the South Wales area it will be a very long slog before the
leagues section of the project will be completed.
On the international scene, full details of all matches
to 1939 have now been loaded, as have details of the unofficial
war-time internationals played by Wales. Results from 1946
to 1964 have been added, but team line ups, attendances,
scorers, referees etc for post war matches need to be researched.
Tim Grandin continues to update the
Welsh Clubs in Europe section with Champions Cup/League
and the old European Cup Winners’ Cup data already
on the site. The UEFA Cup details will be loaded ion due
course.
Finally, don’t forget photographs.
If you have any photos of champions or our national team
throughout the ages please send a scanned copy to our webmaster
