A message from your gaffer!
“I want to do it for our fans and the town of Llangefni” says manager Chris Roberts.
To be in the last 16 of the Welsh cup is fantastic and a real credit to the hard work everyone at the club has put in. I am a Llangefni lad and when i first took over as manager of my hometown football club i said that i wanted to take the club back up the leagues and give the people of Llangefni a football club they can be proud of. Getting a win on Saturday would mean everything to me and i want to do it for our fans and the people of Llangefni.
Confidence is high amongst the players and staff and we know the importance of working as a team an getting the basics right on Saturday if we are to get anything out of this game. No-one expected us to beat Llanelli in the last round, but we did and in truth we could have won by more than 1-0. We will go into the game full of belief and once again give it everything we’ve got. I believe in my players and fully expect us to give Llandudno a good game, we know it will be a tough test but one we are all looking forward to.
These sort of games are the ones you always want to be involved in, to face another Welsh Premier league side is why clubs like us enter the JD Welsh Cup. Llandudno are not getting the rub of the green at present but have also shown how good they can be in the two games against Caernarfon over Christmas so we know it will be another tough test for us and that we will need to be at our best if we are to get anything out of the game.
I have done a lot of work on Llandudno in the build up to this game having been to watch them a few times and spoken to a few people, we will be fully prepared come kick off.
The supporters turned out in numbers for the last round and having been stopped on the streets by some of our fans over the past few weeks i know that they cant wait to come and support us again on Saturday.
So a message to our fans “see you all on Saturday, we appreciate your support and you guys really are the twelfth man. We will give you everything and look to get you the win, cmon the town!!!!
