| League record since 1994: | / 5 / 7 / 9 / 5 / 3 / 3 |
| Top players: | Mark Aizlewood (center back/40/39), Deiniol William Graham (forward/30), Christopher Summers (forward/28), Gary Nigel Wager (goalkeeper/38) |
| Coach: | Mark Aizlewood (playing-coach/center back/40/39) |
| The attack is Cwmbran Town's outstanding department of the team, but as strikers Deiniol Graham and Matthew Davis missed a number of games because to injuries, the attack was reduced to Christopher Summers, who, nevertheless, was the best goal-scorer of the league (31 goals). The defense is dominated by 40-year-old Mark Aizlewood (formerly Leeds United), who played 39 matches for Wales. The playing coach is assisted by manager Tony Willcox (41) on the sideline. Gary Wagner, who came from Inter Cardiff, is considered the best "non-league" goalkeeper of the UK. The rest of the squad consists of a number of average players. As they lost points to weaker opponents, they missed the championship, which they had hoped for, and the cup final, too, was a failure: they lost it 0:1 to Bangor. For the amateur football players of Cwmbran the adventure European Cup against Scotland's Celtic Glasgow ended in a 0:6 desaster in the home game. Nevertheless, the match in Glasgow was attended by 52 000 spectators. | |
| Der Angriff ist das beste Stück Cwmbran Towns. Doch weil die Stürmer Deiniol Graham und Matthew Davis letzte Saison häufig gegen Verletzungen kämpften, blieb im Sturm nur Christopher Summers übrig, der mit 31 Treffern Torschützenkönig der Liga wurde. In der Innenverteidigung ragt der 40jährige Mark Aizlewood (ex-Leeds United) heraus, der 39 Länderspiele für Wales bestritt. Der Spielertrainer wird an der Linie von Manager Tony Willcox (41) assistiert. Gary Wager, der von Inter Cardiff zugezogen wurde, gilt als der beste "Non-League"-Goalie der Insel. Viele mittelmässige Spieler ergänzen das Kader. Wegen der Punktverluste gegen schwächere Gegner wurde nichts aus dem erhofften Meistertitel, und auch der Cupfinal ging gegen Bangor 0:1 verloren. Einen üblen Verlauf nahm das Europacup- Abenteuer für die Parttime-Fussballer gegen Celtic Glasgow, doch
trotz des 0:6 in Cwmbran wohnten dem Rückspiel in der schottischen Metropole 52'000 Zuschauer bei. | |
