The Llandyrnog and District Summer League is a football league that dates back all the way to 1926/1927. It's based in the Vale of Clwyd in North Wales and one of the main things that sets it apart is that in order to play in the Summer League, players must live within a preset boundary each club is allocated. The boundaries tend to be the local parishes but some have been extended to help keep teams going and to include players from some of the villages that are no longer able to field a team. It's also worth noting that no players (legally fielded) come from any of the nearby towns.
The 2013 league is made up of the following teams:-
Caerwys
Cefn
Clawddnewydd
Henllan
Llandyrnog
Llanfair
Llangynhafal
Llanrhaedr
Nantglyn
Rhewl
Trefnant (Returning after a brief hiatus, welcome back Trefnant)
Ysceifiog
All matches in the league take place on Mondays and Thursdays (except for the occasional rearranged fixture or bank holiday).
I will be keeping you all up to date with Llandyrnog's progress and hopefully rounding up the scores from the other games as soon as I have them. If you get the chance to come out to a match then please do as not only does this league give players the chance to play in the off season (or the chance to play organised football at all for some), it also helps the communities by getting people into the pubs on match nights which is vital in these small communities.
Thanks for reading
Paul
