RHOOSE have been crowned South Wales Amateur Football League First Division champions for the first time.
The club will now go into a play-off with local rivals Sully Sports for the honour of promotion into the MacWhirter Welsh Football League next season. The play-off tie will take place at Bryntirion Park, Bridgend, on Saturday, May 25.
The club will also play in the final of the South Wales Senior Cup (versus STM Sports), also to be played at Bryntirion on Friday, May 10 (subsequently re-arranged from Port Talbot's GenQuip Stadium); and the final of the W John Owen Cup (v Llangynwyd Rangers) to be played at the White Tips Stadium, Treforest, on Friday, May 17.
The club's success this season is due, in no small part, to the opportunity to ground share with Barry Town at Jenner Park and, therefore, take advantage of the excellent facilities available; and, to this end, the club would like to extend its thanks and appreciation to the officers of the Vale of Glamorgan Council who made this possible and the ground staff at Jenner Park for maintaining an exemplary playing surface throughout the season in sometimes seemingly impossible conditions given the winter that we've just had.
Rhoose FC: Matthew Davey, Oliver Dalton; Matthew Philips; Jon Carpentier; Craig Green; Nicky Davison; Liam Jones; Joseph Hinds, Calvin McLaggon, Drew Fahiya; James Dixon; Joshua Reffell; Marcus Madder; Sion Anstee; Christian Baldock, Barry Niblett, Rhodri Foote and David Stephenson.
