The domestic football season only finished yesterday - but the season review issue of Welsh Football is already in production and will be available later this week!

[The Macron West Wales Premier League @PremierWales]

@CollinsWFM The games are now on the Cymru app

[David Collins @CollinsWFM]

@PremierWales Are these matches going to be updated via the Cymru Football app?

[Chris Berezai @GroundhopUK]

Games next week in West Wales Play Offs. Tuesday Pontlliw v Waunarlwydd, Thursday Glyneath v Pontlliw, then on Saturday its Waunarlwydd v Glynneath WITH printed programme. 2pm kick off
Waunarlwydd is Swansea, just about two miles or so off J47. Dead easy to get to.

[David Collins @CollinsWFM]

@NWSportDave @FCQPwxm @NEWalesFA @NEWFAMensLeague @Shaun_Best @daveevans08 Can't see why 1.30 kick off time would be unacceptable to @FAWales or @ArdalNorthern. As you say, just a little flexibility is needed...

[David Collins @CollinsWFM]

@danjdavies Well done, Dan, domestic football needs a range of independent coverage and what you're doing is a valuable addition.
I'd echo your point about FAW engagement, in some respects that's gone backwards.
As for clubs, I find some are proactively supportive/helpful, but only some.

Everyone who wins a cup these days calls themselves 'champions' - you are not champions, champions win leagues, cup winners win cups

@JonnyGaffer123 @PentyrchS @SWPLInfo @NWSportDave @marcwebber 4 promotions in a row for Treherbert, I believe, Rhondda Premier champions 2020 then 3 divisions of South Wales Alliance.

[David Collins @CollinsWFM]

I have been asked if any club has previously achieved 5 successive promotions through the Welsh pyramid system (@PentyrchS have now done this through Cardiff & District and @SWPLInfo).
Any ideas @NWSportDave @marcwebber ?

[David Collins @CollinsWFM]

@ForgottenClubs @AllWalesSport @PentyrchS @SWPLInfo @NWSportDave @marcwebber STM had 4 in a row (@cardiffcomb div 2 to S Wales Amateur Div 1) but spent 4 years before next promotion.

[David Collins @CollinsWFM]

@PaulBatcup @AllWalesSport @cazbernie @PentyrchS @SWPLInfo @NWSportDave @marcwebber That's right, except the sequence was broken when they spent 2 seasons in top division of Swansea League before achieving promotion to the Welsh League.

[David Collins @CollinsWFM]

@cazbernie @AllWalesSport @PentyrchS @SWPLInfo @NWSportDave @marcwebber Swansea Uni (Team Swansea) achieved promotion through 5 tiers but according to my records took 6 seasons 2013 to 2018-19. Sequence broken only in 2015-16. They then won Welsh League 1 in 7th season (2019-20) but couldn't be promoted.
