Fans match ended 4 all yesterday afternoon Neil Dymock reckons it was a great performance by the Welsh fans team in very hot conditions...he is always on the look out for players for these fan games but plenty of youngsters involved yesterday.
🏆 Our @LlanelliV’s over 50’s are in the Wales Veterans Football League Cup Final this Sunday, 12th May - 2pm Kick Off vs Penybont at the House Of Sport in Leckwith, Cardiff!
Come and support our veterans as they look to retain the cup and make it a league/cup double!
As a club we are so proud of all our Junior teams.Our U14s made us even prouder last night as coaches Dave & Celyn & their fantastic team won the West Wales U14 Cup 3-2 v Carmarthen Stars in a pulsating final at Stebonheath.A great achievement for our valley💙
Fantastic start to the new year with 2 superb wins on the road.First up were our 50s winning 9-2 @ Penybont before our 40s navigated a very difficult game @ Llantwit Major inflicting a first defeat of the season,winning 4-2.Great to let the football do the talking. @LlanelliReds
We are very much looking forward to starting 2024 with 2 tough away games for our 40s (Llantwit Fardre @ 2pm) & 50s (Penybont @ 11am) today. With both our 40s & 50s challenging for league titles, it’s important we get the year off to a winning start & maintain our challenge.⚽️❤️
Hi. I’m fundraising for PROSTATE CANCER UK. It’s a charity that means a lot to me - my JustGiving page tells you what I’m doing and why. Please donate if you can! https://t.co/hATaOWpvUg
📲 Tom Lockyer has provided an update via Instagram:
I would just like to say that I am doing very well and feeling very much myself after the cardiac arrest I suffered in Bournemouth. The reason I’m doing so well is all down to the heroic actions of the players, staff, doctors and paramedics. I feel thankful that this happened to me surrounded by these heroes. They saved my life. I will never forget what you did for me.
While I’m sad not to be involved, I feel full of pride watching the boys carry on the battle without me. The fighting spirit I’ve seen in the last three games has given me a much needed lift. I will be doing whatever I can in whichever ways are possible to help the Gaffer and the Club. In what capacity that is remains to be decided as I’m due to meet with specialists in the new year.
I cannot stress enough how important it is for as many people as possible to know CPR. It literally saves lives, like mine. Please check out the British Heart Foundation website for basics or get yourself on a course. You just never know when you might need it.
I have been overwhelmed by the support that I have received and thank you all for your messages, letters, gifts and well wishes. Seeing the banners at the ground and hearing my name being sung really did mean a lot to me and my family.
Finally I would like to thank Bournemouth, Gary Sweet, Rob Edwards and Luton Town for the support they’ve given my family during this time.
I hope that everyone has a very Happy New Year and best wishes for 2024.

As we approach our third season as a veterans club,it’s incredible how we have expanded from 2 to 4 sides in such a short period of time to offer competitive football at over 40s,45s,50s & now 55s in the @WalesVets league.Weekly training sessions keeping us active. @LlanelliReds
We have our own 2 defibrillators which accompany us to all games. We hope they are never used but it’s reassuring to know they are there. Well done Paul for knowing how they work and using that knowledge to save a life. Awesome stuff buddy. Speedy recovery to Kevin. 🙏❤️⚽️
