A Tier 1 licence is a pre-requisite for competing in the Cymru Premier next season, and should the club achieve a UEFA qualifying spot, then the UEFA Licence is also required. Whilst that eventuality is somewhat remote given our current league placing, the fact that we have been awarded it bodes well for the future.
Chairman Darryl Williams was ecstatic at the news, and particularly proud that the club had also been awarded the UEFA Licence for the first time ever. He told the website "All the volunteers who do the hard graft behind the scenes make this possible. And we are once again particularly indebted to our General Manager, Keith Roberts, who has put in hours and hours of his free time to pull all the required information together, chase various people up to get their required input, and finally submit the application. Special mention and thanks also goes to Academy Head, Danny Bell, Sports Therapist, Ryan Taylor and Nigel Sheen for the parts they all played in the process. It really is a team effort, and this positive outcome is testament to everyone's contribution. With manager Neil Gibson and his staff determined to improve our fortunes on the pitch, we are in a really good place".
