I was there today as Ammanford is now one of my local teams.
Huge away following, upwards of maybe 20, 30 city fans I reckon.
The pitch invasion when we won the pens was a bit OTT I thought but gotta take these small victories.

Exactly, Lennon Peake is now with Ebbsfleet United in the 6th tier of English footballQuote:

Is anyone able to watch the Ammanford match highlights on the club site?Quote:

I bought the annual audio pass last week - but that is irrelevant to watching a brief video clip on the club site.
I’m getting the same message Jon, all other videos on there are fine, but I can’t watch the Ammanford highlights on there.Quote:

Sounds like a cracker - a 6-4 victory.Quote:

You scored 4 times last night Bob? Good on you mate, would you mind sharing the location of the venue? Asking for a friend.Quote:

I'm surprised we didn't call him highly rated as is the trend now. Would love to see a club sign someone and call him crap to balance it out :hehe:Quote:

2-0 FTQuote:

I went to a Cymru South game last week (Cardiff Dracs v Ammanford) and it wasn't very good. Swansea U21s beat Afan Lido 5-0 tonight and the latter are at the same level.
Hopefully our lads can bounce back from this (to put it politely).
Trott playing for under 21's ?

It is. Clearly talented. Hopefully we can hold on to him.Quote:

How poor were Wolves, though? They hardly looked bothered in that highlights package.Quote:

Not expecting much from this afternoon's first league game of the season for the Under 21s. With the first team playing a few hours later, it'll be an under strength team in acrion against a Sheffield United side that is usually one of the strongest teams around at this level. Throw in expected temperatures of around 30 degrees and it's going to be very haed for uis to emulate their seniors by winning their first league game.
Kick off is at 2 o'cloc o clock, the game is at Leckwith and will be streamed free for supporters as usual.
Seems pretty strongQuote:

One or two there who I expected to be involved tonight - maybe that right back signed in the summer (O’Neil?) will be involved? I take it that’s Isaak Davies? Looks like Giles and/or Mafico will be involved.Quote:
