“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!!!!
PENALTY SHOOTOUT WIN
20th January 2019
Llangefni Town beat Blaenau Ffestiniog Amateurs 5-4 on penalties to reach the Mawddach Challenge Cup quarter finals, following a tense goalless draw.
Cefni began on the front foot, with strikers Alan Mark Owen and Mathew Jones missing good scoring opportunities early on, Blaenau looked dangerous on the counter, but their best chance of the half came from a freekick going narrowly wide from 18 yards out.
A cagey second half followed as Cefni tested Blaenau’s defence with a series of attacks, Mathew Jones thought he opened the scoring on 51 minutes, with his shot hitting the crossbar from 20 yards out. Moments later, Liam Morris had a great chance at the far post following great work from Cai Powell-Roberts down the right.
On 70 minutes, good interchanging play by Blaenau and a through ball to Ian Roberts who found him through on goal, only to be denied by a great save from Liam Ewing in Cefni’s goal. 5 minutes later, it was the turn of Gethin Jones in goal for Blaenau to pull off the save of the match from a thunderbolt shot by Sean Pritchard.
Llangefni had the better of extra-time Alan Mark Owen shot going wide from 5 yards, but penalties felt inevitable, and when they came the Town did not disappoint scoring all of their penalties. Goalkeeper Liam Ewing took the plaudits, saving one of the penalties to clinch victory.
Next up is the big one, on Saturday 26 January v Llandudno FC at home in the JD Welsh Cup last 16. Kickoff is 2:30.
