Buckley Town have completed the signing of Welsh Premier Striker Phil Molyneaux from Airbus Uk Broughton, Molyneaux has spent the last 4 seasons in the WP with Nomads under Nev Powell and Airbus under Gareth Owen and latterly Craig Harrison.

Molyneaux has 69 appearances plus 43 from the bench scoring 16 goals in the process.

"Gareth has been after Phil all through the Close season and has stayed in close contact with the player and indeed Craig Harrison at Airbus to monitor the players situation, I know Phil enjoyed turning out for us against Newtown recently and I would imagine he like the rest of us feels like we have a really strong squad for this coming season, Phil is physically strong and gives our pacy frontline another dimension, I think Phil completes the Squad in time for Saturday`s opening fixture v Llandudno Town. I would like to welcome Phil to Buckley Town and hope he enjoys his time with us, likewise I would like to wish all the new signings the best of luck for the coming season, as well as giving Gareth and his Management team as much support as we can."

Buckley Town defeated Bangor City in a well contested game at Globe Way that saw two penalties missed, two players sin binned and three very well taken goals. Chris Sharp also had to miss the game when he was injured during the warm-up by his team mate.

The first half was an evenly contested affair that should have seen Buckley take the lead when Alec Stacey put his spot kick wide. Both sides had decent chances to take the lead but the half ended 0-0.

The second half was as even as the first for the first thirty five minutes but it was Buckley that managed to take the lead with a well met Julian Jones header from a right sided corner that gave the keeper no chance. Bangor were level within minutes when Marc Limbert hit a half volley from wide left that looped into the far side of the net. Neil Wynne then outpaced former BTFC player Chris Roberts to stroke his well placed effort wide of the keeper and into the far corner. Bangor went up a gear to try and level but failed to do so despite winning a late penalty that was skewed wide.

Buckley Town Football Club welcome Welsh Cup Holders Bangor City this weekend at Globe Way with a 3pm Kick Off. The Cup Holders have kindly agreed to open the New Stand at Globe Way. The Welsh Cup will be on display for Supporters wishing to have photographs taken with the Cup.

On the same day Buckley Town will draw the 1st Numbers of its new "Mega Bucks" monthly draw with a 1st prize of £250.00. Anyone wishing to join the draw should contact one of the Club Committee or the Club via the club website www.buckleytownfc.com.

On Wednesday evening Buckley Town hit goal scoring form beating a Tranmere Rovers XI at Globe Way 5-1 with goals from Dean Hardstaff, Neil Wynne and a hat trick from new signing Billy Webb.

Manager Gareth Thomas can be contacted on 07879 402144 for the latest news on his squad for the forthcoming season.

Buckley Town Football Club is pleased to announce a new Sponsor for the forthcoming 2009-10 Season in the form of JEWSON, the UK’s leading supplier of timber and building materials. JEWSON joins the growing list of local Businesses supporting the Cymru Alliance outfit. JEWSON is a national company with 500 branches nationwide including a local branch in Buckley itself.

Buckley Town Football Club and Jewson are committed to driving Buckley Town towards the top tier of Welsh Football and providing regional businesses with all of their building materials needs. The club and Jewson look forward to building a lasting business relationship over the coming seasons, and will share local/regional information and contacts for the benefit of both organisations.

Chairman of Buckley Town Stewart Roberts commented: “We are delighted that Jewson have agreed to partner us this season. With the cessation of our Castle Cement Sponsorship it was imperative that we maintained local business engagement, Jewson provide fantastic services for the people of Buckley, Flintshire and the whole of North Wales. Our aim is to support them in the same way they have agreed to support us and we see this agreement with Jewson as the first step in our new Community/Business plan that will hopefully result in us achieving a FAW Domestic Licence. We are speaking with numerous other interested parties about engaging with Buckley Town as we look to take the Club and Local Business to the next level.”

On the sponsorship deal Andy Thomson, Jewson’s Buckley Branch Manager, comments: “Although Jewson is a national company, each individual branch is close to the community it serves so we’re delighted to be in a position to support Buckley Town FC and look forward to developing our relationship with the team from the beginning of next season.”

Buckley Town had a very hard but useful work out against a very slick Colwyn side, a number of Colwyn Bay players having hundreds of games in the Football League showing that at whatever level class always shines through, that said though Buckley Town look very useful themselves when they keep possession and can penetrate even the best of sides with pace down either flank and up top.

Bay scorers were the outstanding Rob Hopely with a powerful header in the 20th minute, followed by a Julian Jones own goal as Buckley appealed in vain for an obvious offside.

Half Time 0-2

A third goal followed but it was the fourth goal that rounded off a excellent Bay display when the skilful Lee Davey jinked past no fewer than 5 players before dispatching past a hapless McIntosh.

A reminder to all Buckley fans that these games against much higher opposition has been designed to get them working hard and match sharp in time for the start of the Cymru Alliance on the 15th August, a number of players are getting quality match time during this pre season, and manager Gareth Thomas is able to see what desire players have to wear the Buckley shirt during these games.

Final Score: Buckley Town FC 0-4 Colwyn Bay

Squad: Stu MacIntosh, Ben McKean, Chris Johnson, Julian Jones, Mark Orme, Dean Hardstaffe, Joey Desormeaux, Wes Brereton, Anthony Williams, Neil Wynne, Billy Webb

Subs: Danny Pinch (Ben McKean), Matty Roberts (Neil Wynne), Steve Hopkins (Chris Johnson), Paul Connolly, Gareth Edwards, Stuart Woods, Ben Jones.

Not available: John Leonard, Steve Thomas, Liam Craddock, Alec Stacey.

Thanks again to Stewart Roberts for the match report.

An additional Friendly is due to be played this week on Tuesday 21st July v Hawarden Rangers from the Welsh National League with a 7.30pm Kick Off at Globe Way.

This will be followed by the planned friendly with Welsh Premier League Caersws on Wednesday 22nd July again with a 7.30pm Kick Off when the Buckley Town committee will once again welcome back Dave `Pixie ` Taylor to Globe Way, with new Caersws boss Mickey Evans alongside him.

Unfortunately we had to call off Saturdays game against Winsford United due to the horrendous weather of Thursday and Friday of last week. The pitch has had further work carried out this summer and that needed to be protected. However, weather permitting which is a strange thing to say this time of year, we will get both games on this week for Gareth to have a final look at players.

With no game planned this Saturday it is likely that a training session for the players will take place, with those not required for the forth coming season having been informed before the weekend. Gareth is then expected to increase the intensity and competition within the Squad in the final batch of friendly's leading up to the kick off on Saturday 15th August v Llandudno at Globe Way.

BTFC Reserves have their second game on Wednesday night v Denbigh Reserves at Central Park Denbigh with a 7pm Kick Off.

Buckley Town have been drawn away in the 1st Round of the Welsh Youth Cup at Welsh Premier League Caersws FC with the game due to be played on Sunday 27th September with a 2pm Kick Off.

Head of Youth Development Paul Dodd will hope to have the BTFC Youth in good form prior to this fixture with youngsters forming the majority of this seasons reserve squad.

Further info on the make up of this Youth side will appear once pre season has been completed at Globe Way.

Another decent work out for around 18-20 players for both sides in another entertaining free flowing game at Globe Way watched by an inquisitive and fair size crowd.

Craig Harrison's men move the ball around the pitch really well and look to have a very strong squad for the forthcoming season, however, it was Buckley Town that created the better chances of an entertaining 1st half. Passing from both sides was excellent as was the interlink play and movement. Buckley Town's defence in particular looked strong with Airbus' new signings Marc Lloyd Williams and Carl Owen being kept quiet during the first 45 minutes. More trialists featured in both halves of this game as Manager Gareth Thomas looked to ensure there is enough quality come the start of the season.

1st Half Line Up: Aaron Kinnear, Trialist, Julian Jones, Mark Orme, Trialist, Anthony Williams, John Leonard, Alec Stacey, Dean Hardstaffe, Neil Wynne, Trialist.

The second half again saw a number of Buckley Town changes and as you would expect the same fluency was not forthcoming for the first 10 minutes as Airbus started brightly, again moving the ball around well. Once Buckley adapted to the changes they quickly made a few openings, one of which resulted in them taking the lead after great work from one of the impressive trialists. He fed John Leonard who raced into the box to calmly slot past Doran in the Airbus goal. After this, Airbus pressure intensified with Lloyd Williams and Owen becoming more of a handful as the game wore on. Indeed with a few youngsters in wide areas for Airbus creating a number of opportunities it was Lloyd Williams who scored 2 goals and then Owen grabbing the 3rd despite a valiant effort from Kinnear to keep it out.

Both Managers will be pleased to have got 45-60 minutes out of players at this early stage of pre season. Harrison in particular will be delighted with his team going forward. However, Gareth Thomas will be very encouraged by the energy levels, and patterns of play throughout the game and will also be very pleased with the defensive display containing the experience and potent Lloyd Williams and Owen for 70 minutes.

Next 1st team fixture is at HOME to Winsford United on Saturday 18th July with a 3pm Kick Off.

Special thanks to Stewart Roberts for the Match Report

Buckley Town were slow out of the blocks in this opening pre season game against a lively and well organised St Helens Town from the North West Counties League. Buckley Town started with debuts for 10 of the starting 11 with a trialist making up the starting line up. An early error by Aaron Kinnear making his Town debut gifted St Helens an early lead and that was doubled after 9 minutes. Buckley soon after settled into a pattern of passing football with John Leonard and Wes Brereton eventually getting on top in the centre of midfield. Billy Webb, a new quality signing from Colwyn Bay, quickly won a penalty back and picked himself up to slot away his 1st Buckley goal. Webb looked lively during the first 45 minutes and more match sharpness should see him start the season firing on all cylinders. Neil Wynne's pace and Dean Hardstaffe's industrious work rate also caught the eye. A scrambled goal just before half time evened the match up at 2-2.

1st Half Line Up: Aaron Kinnear, Ilya Haycock, Gareth Edwards, Paul Connolly, Chris Johnson, Trialist, John Leonard, Wes Brereton, Dean Hardstaffe, Billy Webb, Neil Wynne,

The second half saw a number of the usual pre season changes with Ben McKean, Alec Stacey, Darren Horne and 4 trialists getting a run out, Stacey in particular catching the eye. Movement and passing was good from both sides on a fantastic surface and 3 second half goals by trialists and a penalty for St Helens concluded the scoring in a very entertaining game for the supporters.

2nd Half Line Up: Aaron Kinnear, Trialist, Ben McKean, Chris Johnson, Trialist, Wes Brereton, Alec Stacey, Darren Horne, Dean Hardstaffe, Billy Webb, Trialist.

Final Score: Buckley Town FC 5-3 St. Helens Town AFC

Special thanks to Stewart Roberts for the Match Report

Alec Stacey has joined us from Bala Town and Wes Brereton from Mold Alex.

A full listing of signings is now available on the Cymru Alliance website More

Matty Roberts has re-signed after an impressive campaign last year and another ex Buckley player has re-signed - James Morton who has spent some time getting himself extremely fit and is looking forward to enjoying another campaign at Globe Way.

Gareth is a handful of signings away from completing what will be a pre season friendly squad with the usual additions and departures during the Friendly matches as people rule themselves in and out of the Squad that will tackle this Seasons task of a top 6 finish.

After a committee meeting held on Monday 29th June it was decided that the form signed by Michael Robinson to play for Buckley Town this coming season be torn up and not presented to the Cymru Alliance.

"Whilst we are disappointed not to have gained Robinson for the forthcoming season, the committee felt that rather than present the form to the League Secretary, who in turn would according to the rules, probably have had to charge the player with willingly signing two registration forms and meaning a likely fine and suspension, we would tear up the form and move on to players who want to play for Buckley Town for the right reasons."

"We have no issue with Ruthin Town Football Club and wish them and Robinson all the best for the coming season."

"We would remind players of the consequences of signing 2 forms at this time of year - Fine and Suspensions are the likely outcome."

"Gareth and Levi have spoken to a number of players that will strengthen the current squad and as such we expect to announce more signings during the course of this week."

Bit of an issue already this pre season. Michael Robinson from Ruthin Town has apparently already signed for Ruthin Town on Sunday 21^st June prior to signing another form with us on Tuesday night after training with us.

Stuart Roberts received a call from Adie Jones, the Ruthin Manager, stating that he had signed Michael on Sunday. We now have to decide as a Club whether to present the form to the league Secretary. Gareth Thomas has confirmed to me that he signed Michael after our 1^st training session on Tuesday 23^rd as the player had expressed his wish to sign for Buckley Town.

A further announcement with  regard the Clubs decision on this will be published on the website once a decision has been made.

In addition to the Nucleus of former Mynydd Isa players that have already joined Buckley Town for the coming season Manager Gareth Thomas has continued to add both youth and experience.

Mike Robinson, a 20 year old Central Midfielder, has joined from Ruthin Town where he has been a major influence on Ruthin's resurgence under Adie Jones. `Robbo` has a great `engine` and is accomplished with the ball, his physical presence will have a great effect this coming season.

Chris Johnson, an experienced defender, best known for his time at Llandudno Town but who has joined from Denbigh Town can operate as a Centre Half or Full back and will bring experience and leadership to the Squad.

Steve Thomas joins from Flint Town United, another player who has been around for a few seasons, turning in very impressive displays mainly as a Wing back, still has youth on his side and will add pace and quality.

A number of deals have been agreed with players and these will be announced as the paperwork is completed.

Following on from the arrival of Gareth Thomas and Keith Davies from Mynydd Isa FC a number of last season’s Isa Squad have made the Short Journey to Globe Way for the coming season;

Re-Joining Buckley Town are Ben McKean, Dean Hardstaff and Joey Desormeaux.

Other Players signing on the dotted line from Isa are Stuart MacIntosh, Stuart Woods, Rees Darlington, Paul Connolly, Joey Ouslem, Isa Captain John Leonard, Anthony Williams, Neil Wynne, Barry Calder and Ilya Haycock who will link up with Former Gap QP Manager Levi Lloyd. These players are the nucleus of Thomas side that finished 4th last Season.

Joining the Club also is Mark Orme last season Denbigh Town captain and Centre Half along with another Centre Half Gareth Edwards from Upton AA.

A number of players have been spoken to, including a number of last season’s Buckley Squad, the Management team of Gareth Thomas, Levi Lloyd and Keith Davies have identified a number of targets and spoken to players that will add additional quality and experience, it is anticipated that more signings will be announced early next week.

Pre Season Training begins next week and it looks as though there will be heavy competition for places as Thomas looks to find the right blend of players to cement their Squad places come the start of the new Season.

Paul Dodd and Russ Moore are also working extremely hard behind the scenes to create a Young and Competitive Reserve / Youth Side for the coming season, Paul and Russ have been asked to recruit the best youngsters available in the Buckley / Flintshire Area in the 16-21 age group category, development of players of this age will hopefully see Youngsters forcing their way into the 1st team Squad over the season with 1st team players adding experience to the Reserves and Youngsters to help that process along.

Further news of arrivals and departures will appear here as and when they happen......…

New Manager Gareth Thomas has begun to get his feet wet and started to prepare for the coming season. He has agreed to keep the Website informed as he develops the squad, so there will be regular posts here throughout the summer.

11/06/09

Over the last 3 weeks I have had meeting's nearly every night in the week with various coaches, players etc., to try and bring fresh blood into the club. The following people have all agreed to join the club and there roles within the club are as foolows:

Manager: Gareth Thomas

Assistant Manager: Levi Lloyd

Coach: Keith Davies

Goalkeeping Coach: Alan Tyrrell

The BTFC Reserves will be run by Russ Moore and Paul Dodd.

At present we have 8 new players signed and with more meeting's planned over the weekend I hope to have the squad shaped before we start the pre season training sessions which will commence on Tuesday 23rd June.

22/05/09

I must admit though I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to manage Buckley Town, as I feel it's one of the biggest clubs in the Flintshire area with a great set up where, year on year, you always see improvements going on at the club.

Even though I'm busy at home, it hasn't stopped me starting to shape the squad for the current season. At present I must have spoken to around 30 plus players to see if they are interested in coming to Buckley and making us a force to be reckoned with. I am also in the final stages of appointing my back room staff and completing the schedules for the pre season training. I have spoken with a couple of last seasons squad but I think big changes are needed on the playing side, as trust plays a big part with me. When I looked at the discipline side last season, it totally needs a complete overhaul. Also since the Christmas period results where poor.

I hope you can be patient over the next few weeks but already I have 12 guaranteed singings who I trust to their word and some potential great additions to follow.

Looking forward to meeting up with you all soon and getting introduced to everyone as I'm not the best with names to faces. But rest assured whilst most people think the season is at an end, I'm right in the middle of the hard work and believe me when the season kicks off come August we'll have the squad to compete for the league.

Buckley Town Football Club is pleased to announce two new additions to the Club in the form of Levi Lloyd and Tony Aldridge.

Levi Lloyd joins as Assistant Manager to Gareth Thomas from Gap Connah’s Quay where he has been Youth Team Manager, successfully guiding the Nomads U19s to North Wales Coast Cup success along with a run to the Quarter final of the Welsh Youth Cup. Prior to this Lloyd took Gap Queens Park to both League and NEWFA Cup finals losing out to Bala Town narrowly in both games and also had a fantastic run in the Welsh Cup where Park were beaten at the Quarter Final Stage by Rhyl at Belle Vue.

Tony Aldridge joins after having a year away from the local scene and will be welcomed back by many to a Club in the Cymru Alliance. Aldridge’s professionalism and Commercial Strengths will be invaluable in driving Buckley Town forward. A former Cymru Alliance Committee Man, he is well respected throughout the Cymru Alliance and indeed Welsh Football in general. Aldridge was a Key figure in the steady rise of Mynydd Isa over the last few years and will be reacquainted with former Isa Boss Gareth Thomas at Globe Way.

Chairman Stewart Roberts commented “I am delighted to have both Levi and Tony join us as we look to strengthen the infrastructure at the Club. Both have fantastic strengths that will only drive us forward on and off the field of play."

"Having worked with Levi at Gap Queens Park and the Nomads, I know exactly how much he will bring to the Management team. He will give Gareth a different perspective on things as we go into the season. The relationships Levi builds with players will enhance team spirit from the word go, and his success with the Youth players at Gap Connah’s Quay, that made it through to their 1st team bodes well for youngsters joining Buckley Town FC. With Levi’s contacts and Paul Dodd and Russ Moore’s coaching, I feel our Youth / Reserves will be strong this coming season."

"I am delighted I have managed to get Tony to the Club. He sees the potential at Buckley Town and if we get half the service he gave Mynydd Isa in his time there, we will be a better club for it. I tried to get Tony at each of the clubs I have been at, because once he commits to a club he gives them everything. With his commercial know how and knowledge of Welsh Football, our quest for a domestic licence will be made easier.

"On behalf of the Buckley Town Committee, I would like to welcome both Levi and Tony on board and wish them every success in their efforts for Buckley Town."

Following on from the departure of Manager Simon Sedgwick at the end of season, Buckley Town Football Club are pleased to announce Gareth Thomas as their new Manager. Gareth has had successful steady progress at Mynydd Isa over the last few seasons culminating in a top 4 finish and a NEWFA Cup Final this season. Gareth has played and managed at various clubs including, Mynydd Isa, Holywell Town, Llandudno, with spells at Halkyn United and Connah’s Quay.

Gareth will be joined at Globe Way by Keith Davies as 1st team Coach and is in the final stages of discussions to bring in a new Assistant Manager. Gareth’s remit will be to gather momentum on the football side to bring the Club to a platform ready for promotion after the restructuring of the Welsh Pyramid System. Off the field the Club will grow its infrastructure to ensure it gains a Domestic Licence when we apply for it. The next few seasons are crucial for the future plans of Buckley Town Football Club and the Committee agreed that Gareth’s achievements, commitment, ambitions and contacts made him an ideal choice to take the Club forward, along with the new Assistant and Keith Davies. Gareth will be given all the support he needs to ensure the Club achieves its goals.

The Club would like to thank Simon Sedgwick for his efforts on behalf of the Club.

The Chairman, Committee, volunteers and supporters of Buckley Town Football Club would all like to welcome Gareth and Management team to the Club.

Chairman of Buckley Town FC Stewart Roberts has spoken about his reaction to yesterday's announcement by the FAW Council.

He said, "I think the changes likely to happen will be for the good in general, I am not convinced that 10 teams is the way forward for the Premier, but is that because the FAW only feel that 10 clubs will meet criteria by the time they go live with this?”

“I feel sorry for those clubs that have worked so hard to maintain their top flight experience only to be told due to re structure they are to be demoted. I am sure clubs will challenge this from the top flight.”

“In terms of the Cymru Alliance, it will become a far stronger, more professionally run division with a number of WP clubs likely to become members come 2010/11 and if the ground criteria for all Cymru Alliance clubs is improved as a result then all the better. In effect, the Cymru Alliance becomes Welsh Premier Div 1 North/Mid in my opinion. What must be clear though are the timescales and guidance from the governing body on exactly what a Cymru Alliance club must do to be prepared to accept promotion as soon as their League placing allows it. There cannot be any more grey areas allowed going forward.”

“It looks at this moment in time that a number of WP Clubs will enter the CA probably more than Welsh League South, so the feeder league North/Mid will become better in terms of ground, clubs, and structure with numerous clubs likely to quite quickly meet the criteria for promotion. Will the same be said of the South? They need to be as equal as possible in terms of criteria to ensure that promotion and relegation do not become a farce year in year out.”

“My other concern would be for the smaller clubs that attain super 10 status, they will consistently be fighting relegation year in year out, causing instability and fluctuating budgets, etc. A 14 or 16 team top tier would have been better in my opinion, with 3 relegated, winners of Cymru Alliance promoted, winners of the Welsh League promoted and a play off system between the 2nd Cymru Alliance and Welsh League clubs for a final spot.”

“In effect, just like when 1 player / 1 club came in, players found and are continuing to find their level, the same will be said of clubs when this re-structure commences. Clubs with ambitions will ensure they meet the Domestic Licence and push forward on the field of play to get that promotion. Clubs that don’t show ambition will continue as normal and be happy to play at whatever level the criteria allows them to. One thing is for sure I do feel the feeder league North/Mid will become very strong.”

“Clubs in the Cymru Alliance will need to show quite quickly their ambitions by bringing grounds into line with the Domestic Licence Criteria, or face getting relegated into the Welsh National, Welsh Alliance, or Mid Wales leagues, and the scramble for a top 10 finish in the Cymru Alliance next season will be very interesting indeed.”
