The League Rep games versus Gloucester this weekend are cancelled. Hopefully they can be re arranged for next season.

Well done ladies on the fantastic result on Sunday against West Wales.

Good luck to both Cardiff City U16 and Mardy Tigers U14 who both compete in the national Finals of the Tesco Cup this coming weekend at Manchester. Both clubs have been a credit to the League this season and we wait to hear how both get on next weekend. Watch out for the update

Yesterday saw the League Representative games against West Wales at Treforest Football Club. A large shirt sleeved crowd saw some fine football across the ages. two games were played at Under 12 level with the South Wales Girls League winning both 3-0 and 11-1. At Under 14 level a fantastic game ensured with South Wales winning 4-2 whilst at Under 16 level the South Wales Girls league completed a clean sweep winning 6-1.Many thanks to Stweve Hammett and the rest of his committee from West Wales for the help in the playing of the games and we here at South Wales look forward to travelling down to West Wales next season to continue the strong links formed by the two Leagues. Lastly a big thank you to referree Paula Small who officiated in the middle at both Under 14 and Under 16 games in sweltering hot conditions, and to her two assistants Wayne Tregonning and Peter Small who assisted for the Under 16 game.

Congratulations to Cardiff City U16 who won the Welsh Cup at U16 level yesterday beating Llanidloes 5-1. Great advert for this League

Re under 12`s rep game today at Treforest

can i just say how proud i was of the whole under 12`s squad today. fantastic football, great team spirit.

well done girls, bring on Gloucester.....

Please can all the under 14's team be at Treforest at 10:30 on Sunday, kick off is at 12:30. Colin would like to do a warm up session before game. I would like to apollagise for not being there on Sunday, I have a prior commitment.

Good luck ladies.

Having now completed our season I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to be involved with girls football.

We have had some exciting, close and memorable matches but the spirit in which the vast majority of these games have been played is a credit to all the clubs but especially to the girls.

This has been my first season as coach and it has been a lot of fun so to all the coaches I've met and regardless of the results, I'd like to say a big thank you and well done.

To the guys who administer the SWGL your hard work is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Finally I'd like to say a special thank you to all the parents who have been so brilliant in supporting our team this season.

For those attending the rep games at Treforest FC on 11th May, please note that the University of Glamorgan are kindly providing free parking to all visitors. A map to the University (main campus) can be found at www.glam.ac.uk.

Please note there is also limited parking at Treforest FC.

Rona Woodland(Treforest FC) - 07/05/2008

In reply to Glenns latest posting yes I agree that results should be on here and updated and it is something i would like to see improved on. The first stage though Glenn would be down to clubs some are not ringing results in as required to do so this as i am sure you will agree doesnt help. Of course that doesnt make it right and hopefully for the new season this will be corrected

After the last League meeting we all agreed that up to the minute results must be posted on this website for it to have any relevance.

It was updated, many thanks , but note that we are now 2 months behind again with the results......can we please finally do something about this?

On behalf of Mardy Tigers I'd like to say a massive thanks to Rob and the committee, Chris and all the staff at Penydarren Boys & Girls Club and all the officials for making Saturday such a special occasion.

Congratulations to Pontypridd U12 Girls for winning the plate competition. It was a great final with some good football from both sides. And thanks to Penydarren for hosting a terrific day which provided these young players with a real experience - running out of the tunnel, hearing their names announced, seeing the big crowd and feeling the highs and lows of the big match. Looking forward to next season.

Next Sunday May 11th sees the Leagues Representative games at all age groups against West Wales at Treforest Football Club. Both the Under 12 and Under 14 kick off at 12 midday whilst the Under 16 kick off at 2pm. It would be nice for a large support at these games as these girls have worked hard all season for this honour. Entry fee is £2 per adult £1 per junior or £5 for a family of 4. Car parking has been arranged at the nearby Glamorgan University. All Clubs with players selected for the League should by now have received an e mail from me if not can you contact me urgently

Please note that there will be training for the Under 12's on Wednesday 7th May at Treforest fc at 6.15pm.

This will replace the training that was due to take place on Saturday 10th.

Please can team members all attend as we will be playing a match against another team.

Please could you ring Andrew on 01443 401656 to confirm your attendance (please leave message on answerphone if I am not available)Andrew Kelland(South wales girls under 12 rep team) - 04/05/2008

Firstly would like to say what a good finals day yesterday at penydarren fc, bad luck to cardiff, penydarren and thornhill under12s in the plate but well done to pontypridd on winning the plate,well deserved win in the final and look forward to playing the four teams above next season

Yesterdays Finals day at Pennydarren Football Club proved once again to be a big success. Some excellent football was played in front of a very large crowd. The Under 12 Plate semi finals both went to extrat time with Pontypridd defeating Penydarren 1-0 and Thornhill progressing to the Final on penalties against Cardiff City. The Final again went to extra time with Pontypridd eventually winning the Plate trophy 1-0. The Under 14 Final between Mardy Tigers and Cardiff City produced some top class football with Mardy triumphing 4-1 whilse likewise the Under 16 Final between cardiff City and Margam again proved very exciting with Cardiff eventually winning 3-0. Well done to all teams on the day you all done the League proud. It was a disappointment that the Under 12 Finals was not able to be played but hopefully that will come about in the next few weeks. Finally a thanks to all officials of Pennydarren Football Club who made everyone welcome and whose organisation was of the highest possible.

I would like to say congratulations to Maerdy Tigers on winning the league cup final, yesterday. It was a fantastic game of football with both teams giving 110%, it was a great advertisement for the girls game in South Wales. Well done to Wayne and the girls.

Hope everyone has a fun in the final that's what it is all about.

Hope you all have a great day girls just enjoy it from all U12s at Ento Aberdare Grasshoppers.

Good luck to all the teams playing in the finals on Saturday. Wish we were there!

Lesley Judd (Coach Cardiff Ladies under 16) - 30/04/2008

In recent weeks we have played Brynna and Caerau Ely in the league, and I would like to congratulate them on there conduct and the great feel good factor that is with them at all times. These two groups of girls and there coaching staff are a credit to there clubs and the league, with neither results or league position affecting them at all, they are a great model for what under 14 football is all about. Well done girls.

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH BOTH THE U14'S AND U16'S THE BEST OF LUCK FOR THE CUP FINAL ON SATURDAY. YOU HAVE WORKED HARD AND PLAYED WELL ALL SEASON

A very big thank you to Cadoxten and Coed Cae Colts Under 12s and 14s who came to our Under 12s Fun Day on Sunday. It was good to see so many girls there along with parents and coaches having a good time.

It has been proposed that the League runs an UNDER 17 Division next season. This would be in addition to the current Under 16, 14 and 12 divisions. At this stage it would be particularly helpful if clubs [especially those in the Under 16 division] can indicate to me by e mail direct if they would consider entering a team in this division. The whole idea for this division would be that with the age for senior football going up to 16 from next season many clubs may not have enough players to filed senior sides but with girls of 15 being able to play in the Under 17 division then this could really help. I would appreciate clubs contacting me direct asap with their thoughts as to whether they would enter a team in this division.

The League is pleased to announce that they have appointed Ms Sandra Mullins as the new Child welfare Officer for the League

Rob Lewis(Sec/Chairman) - 26/03/2008

Well spotted Stuart - sorry folks.

Festival is Good Friday which is the 21st March.

Glen Perry(CRICKHOWELL PANTHERS) - 24/01/2008

UNDER 10'S FESTIVAL

The under 10's festival taking place this Sunday (27th January) will now be at Nantyglo Leisure Centre not Abertillery. Any teams wishing to enter can contact me on 01495 311850 or admin@coedcaecolts.com no later than Friday.

SOUTH POWYS GIRLS EASTER FOOTBALL FESTIVAL 2008 - FRIDAY MARCH 28th (Good Friday).

This renown event is back again and is a must for all Junior Girls FC teams.

With over 60 teams last year from far and wide it is a marvellous opportunity for your girls to play different teams from Wales, England and Scotland.

This year, there has been a rule change and NO Academy sides will be present, it'll be purely Club teams facing each other on the grass of the Brecon Beacons. This is even more of an incentive to get your Club teams along.

The age restrictions are based on years of birth, for example 1992, 1994 etc, not whether Under 14.

The teams are 7 aside (squads of 10) except for what would be our Under 16s which play the full 11 aside with a squad of 15. Matches are fully officiated with appointed neutral referees.

This is an all day event and was magnificent in the sun last year (no guarentees though) and with plenty of silverware and good football to be had. You may even be drawn against those teams that you've faced in the SWGL and hoped to escape from......luck of the draw.

Cost is £30 each for first two teams then £20 for each successive team - so get your Under 10s/12s/14s and 16s along for a tremendous 'Club' day out in hopefully 'Sunny' Brecon.

Please contact Jay Probert at jay.probert@powys.gov.uk for full details and application forms or glen.perry@powys.gov.uk who will forward your requests to Jay.

Just to let all Clubs know that a Clubs meeting will be held in March, date and venue to be decided. One of the things on the agenda....probably the main thing will be the selection process for the league's representative teams. In the meantime if Clubs could e mail me with their views on the League Rep teams and any ideas on how it can be improved that would be apreciated. E mail direct to me please not to this news page. Clubs can also feel free to e mail me with anything else they would like to have discussed and I will do my best to get it on the agenda

Anyone wishing to email me the correct address is garrypugh@btinternet.com as it is incorrect on the website.

We had a couple of games not played this weekend due to Clubs not turning up because the home club had not confirmed the fixture with them. Can I remind all Clubs to abide by this rule and confirm fixtures with their visitors. Likewise it is not really on for teams to just not turn up for fixtures and it is likely that if this happens in the future they may well be charged with "failing to play a fixture". If any Club has NOT received confirmation as per rule [ie Tuesday prior to the game] then their proper course of action should be to ring myself and let me know about it.

Can I ask all Clubs to make a concerted effort now to get fixtures played we do in fact only have 16 weekends left in the season and FIVE of them are spoken for ie Easter Weekend, One weekend for Rep trials, Two weekends for Inter League games versus Gloucester and West Wales and of course one weekend for our Cup Finals day. That leaves just ELEVEN weekends. A quick look at the Leagues tells me that in the Under 16 division out of 12 teams only 2 have reached the half way mark of 11 games played with one team left with SIXTEEN league matches to be played. In the Under 14 South we are slightly better with all bar two having reached the half way stage, the Under 14 North is also comparable to the South, nevertheless with our Cup matches due to begin shortly it seems VERY unlikely that any club will not be given evening matches this season. Please be prepared for that.
