Soccer fun days on the ball

MORE than 250 children attended the special soccer fun days organised by the Vale of Glamorgan Council sports development unit.

Held at leisure centres throughout the Vale, the fun days were run in conjunction with the Football Association of Wales and attracted boys and girls aged between six and 13 years.

Vale football development officer Ryland Morgans said: "I'm delighted with the attendance at the fun days and both the boys and girls really enjoyed the courses.

It is a good sounding base for grass roots football."

The next football fun days are scheduled for the 2003 half-term from Tuesday to Friday, February 18-21.

ST Cyres in Cup Final

ST CYRES School Year 7 boys football team deserve congratulations on battling their way through to the Cyril Rogers Cup Final.

The boys fought superbly, despite the extra adversity of having to play - and win - the semi-final twice because of an administrative error.

On a wet and windy evening, St Cyres showed true grit to clinch their place in the final by 7 goals to 3 against Cowbridge.

Man of the match was Rhys Richards who scored a superb hat-trick, with other goals by Stephen Rolley 2, Daniel Jose and James Nellany.

Delighted coaches are Mr J Erickson and Mr L Thompson.
