Kilgetty AFC

We regrettably announce that, due to circumstances beyond our control, this year’s Football Festival will not be going ahead.

A number of factors have conspired against us, not least of which was the closure of the clubhouse due to flooding.  It was hoped that the club would be re-built in time for the Festival, but with hindsight this was a little ambitous. 

We felt that this year it would have been extremely difficult to offer a Festival of the highest standards on which we pride ourselves.  We have instead decide to focus all of our energies towards producing an outsanding event for next year.

All monies recieved so far from entrants will be returned immediately.  If anybody has any questions regarding this situation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are very sorry to not be able to offer our hospitality this year, but hope that you will all return next year for the Kilgetty AFC 2010 Football Festival.

Kilgetty’s new Under 13s team (previously the under 11s) recently received their new kit which was kindly sponsored by Folly Farm.

“Set in the heart of the Pembrokeshire countryside, Folly Farm offers six fantastic zones to visit… the Jolly Farm, a spectacular Zoo, an enormous vintage Funfair, indoor and outdoor Adventure Play and Folly Wood Country Park.”

Since their days as under 8 this junior side have been going to Llandovery competition and winning it year after year.  This year they met Welsh League team Carmarthen town in the final, and dominated play from the off.  

Also pictured are the B team who came a creditable fifth place, and the under 13 who lost in their semi final.

Under 12’s in our next training session can you tell which team mate is performing on stage?

Kilgetty entered the rosebush tournament the age group with the most entries only surpassed by the under 15 group entry, the competition came in the form of clarby, Clarbeston rd, Pennar Robins, Boncath, the Red devils themselves, and of course kilgetty.

one group with the top four going through to semi finals, this was going to be a tough enough day with that quality line up, without the added weather factor which would hamper the passing style we have adopted.

Some cracking games in the group stages with clarby top on 12pts, kilgetty 2nd on 11pts and clarbeston rd and boncath sharing 3rd with 8pts.

We won through the semi finals beating boncath after a double round of penalties finishing on the 9th penalty.

Onto the final V clarby end to end stuff with the only difference being the clarby no nonsense defender who deservidly got man of the match. We came runners up in a very tight game, well done fellas you were superb all day, congrats clarby on your win.

Millenium stadium hosted the club county champs competition, a great day out for all we scored a few goals, defended well, played the ball about and had a few saves to make, something for the players to cherish for life how many of us can say we have played at the millenium stadium!

Former Kilgetty junior, Callum Proctor was recently called up to the Welsh Under 15 football squad that travelled to Dublin for the Tri-Nations tournament featuring Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Wales.

Playing as a lone striker in the Northern Ireland match, Wales finished as 1-0 winners in an exciting and enthralling game, where Callum went close to scoring on several occasions.

In the following match against the Republic of Ireland, Callum managed to find the net twice, again playing as a solitary front man.  Unfortunately, Wales were beaten 4-2 on the day, but Callum was praised generously by Brian Flynn, the current under 17s manager, for an excellent performance.
