Tommys girlfriend Tara had endured a morning in labour but it was all worth it when their daughter was placed in her arms early in the afternoon. Mother and baby are both home and well and Tommy is looking forward to the challenges of fatherhood.
Tommy has been available every game through the time of expecting the arrival of their daughter and even managed to play 90 minutes yesterday outlining his commitment to the club despite the recent interest shown from rivals Morda United.
Congratulations go to both proud parents Tommy and Tara and also to Uncle Carl who is also part of our squad from everyone at the club.Author: np |

top ^ 27 Jan 2010 - Chasing Tommy | Cross border neighbours Morda United have today placed 7 days notice on Tommy Lewis.
The club and manager are confident that Tommy will be turning down any approach as he has previously done to see at very least the rest of this season through.
The clubs drew a pre season friendly 1-1 and this season has already seen manager Popyk take 3 players the opposite direction in Paul Morris, Scott Bright and Darren Jones.Author: NP |
top ^ 24 Jan 2010 - Transfer update | The club are pleased to announce they have further strengthened with the signing of Ryan Morris from rivals Llanfechain. Ryan is a great all round player who has already passed last seasons 11 goals that he managed for previous club Defaid Du netting 12 times so far this term.
" I have been chasing Ryan most of the season so am obviously chuffed that he has finally decided to join us at the Pit. Ryan gives another attacking option and will certainly pop up with some goals too. This just outlines our ambition to at least gain promotion this season and should keep the rest of the squad on their toes with extra competition"
It is however with regret that the club are set to lose Paul Egerton Morris with 'Giggsy' deciding to go the opposite way and rejoin Llanfechain in search of more regular football. 'Giggsy' has been great this season when played and will be a loss not just on the field but in the changing rooms too where he was a big character.
Everyone at the club wishes Paul all the best of luck back at Llanfechain and we hope to see him around when he has no fixture and at future club events.Author: NP |

top ^ 17 Jan 2010 - Training | With the continued bad weather we will be holding our second training session at St Martins gym Time and Fitness for you on Tuesday night. Last weeks session was attended by 16 lads who all
enjoyed the workout provided by Neil and Wendy at the gym and it is hoped there will be a few more faces there this week. A link to their website can be found on the links part of this page.
Wednesday should hopefully see us get some match action with a friendly against Spar Mid Wales side Llansantffraid at Treflan pencilled into the diary providing both squads with some much needed match fitness.
Off the field plans for the annual dinner and presentation night have got underway with a preliminary date of May 22nd being set for the event to be held at The Walls Restaurant, Oswestry following last years successful night.
Off the field manager Nick Popyk has moved to further strengthen the squad placing 7 days notice of approach on a couple of players including Ryan Morris who has so far scored 12 goals this season for rivals Llanfechain. It is hoped Ryans transfer will be completed this week.
Hopefully with fingers crossed next week should see us return to competitive action and we are still looking forward to seeing Moz make his debut in goal although the break in fixtures could be just what Ian Jones needed as he looks to regain fitness following a knee operation.
At this half way point of the season Ian is top scorer with 13 goals followed by Tommy on 7, Zak (6) and Nick Davies (5). Dutts and Zak share the top spot for assists both with 8 and Tommy leads the way in MOM awards with 4. Nick Davies has made the most appearances with 16 followed by Tommy and skipper Derek who have both featured in 15 games along with Ian Jones.

2009 has been a massive year for the club, seeing many changes in playing personnel and also the management team with us being guided from the very bottom of the Monty 2nd division to the top where we sit today. we have enjoyed some great club events such as our band night earlier in the year, our end of season annual dinner and more recently Decades.
We have had success not just on the field but also in raising vital funds off the pitch and keeping in the club in a financially secure position.
We have had our down spells but have risen and our recent performances and position show this.
2010 will be just as big a season for us we are still involved in cup competitions and are in with a shout for the league title or at least promotion either way my target from committee level of finishing in the top 5 should definitely be reached.
Let me just take this opportunity to wish all the fellow committe members, our great squad and their families, any of our regular spectators and associates and anyone who visits our site a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
All the very best

Banw currently sit bottom of the league with no wins from their first 7 games but dependant on weather could always have some first team players to call upon.

As yet although we have sponsors lined up for several fixtures this weeks is currently not sponsored by anyone so anybody out there who would be willing to sponsor the match (£50) or the match ball (£20) please get in touch.

top ^ 30 Nov 2009 - Trefonen 5 Waterloo Colts 2 - Match report | Trefonen continued their excellent run of league results with a hard fought win against a determined side.
Due to the hard work of committee and volunteers,this was one of the few local matches to be played.
The match provided terrific entertainment for the good sized crowd who witnessed some good football from both teams in difficult conditions.
The home side had a couple of early chances but were denied by some good goalkeeping by the visitors Josh Langford.
Trefonen were rocked in the 8th minute when an Oliver Davies free kick from 20 yards out flew into the back of the net.
Trefonen responded well and almost equalised straight away through Todd Roberts - he just failed to get on the end of a James Lewis cross.
Trefonen equalised in the 12th minute when Daz Jones headed in Mark Duttons pin-point corner.
Both sides had chances to take the lead,the best efforts coming from Tommy Lewis and Martin Phillips with long range efforts.
Manager Nick Popyk,after a strong and critical half time team talk,decided to spice things up in the second half by introducing Ian Jones and new signing Scott Bright to the game.
Within minutes of coming on the field,Jonesy had made an impact.
He received the ball on the edge of the box,turned and unleashed a powerful shot into the back of the net.
Waterloo levelled in the 65th minute when Rob Spragg's speculative low shot bounced on the greasy surface and slid under the body of the Trefonen 'keeper.
It was in the 78th minute that Trefonen regained the lead,top scorer Ian Jones showing why he is one of the best finishers around when he turned in the box and scored his second of the game,
With the home side in the ascendancy,new signing Scott Bright proved why he is going to be such a good signing in Trefonen's push for promotion.
His pace caused the visitors all sorts of problems,especially in the 81st minute when he collected the ball on the wing,cut in and coolly slotted the ball home.
Scott completed a memorable debut when he latched on to a Martin Phillips through-ball in the 86th minute to send the pitmen home happy.

top ^ 25 Nov 2009 - Bright Signs | Morda Uniteds Scott Bright has put pen to paper joining the Pitmen after training tonight.
Scott has proven himself amongst the goals in the last couple of seasons in the County league with Morda United and has also been a regular name on the scoresheet in the Wem Sunday League. He is equally comfortable on the wingsor up front and is known for his spectacular goals.
Scott will boost the squad also with his pace and trickery and after putting pen to paper it's just a case of waiting for international clearance for him to be available for selection
Author: . |
top ^ 23 Nov 2009 - More signings on the horizon??? | Manager Nick Popyk is moving to add to his promotion chasing squad with a couple more signings who could complete the squad following the recent addition of Darren Jones from neighbours Morda United.
" I want to make sure we have enough cover and quality players in every position who can help us achieve our target of promotion this season. If we can supplement our squad with a couple more additions I think we will realise this ambition and take Trefonen Football Club up to the next level".
The new signings are both said to be forward players and it is hoped that they will put pen to paper sometime this week.
"One lad is currently unattached and people may say a bit of a gamble while the other has proven he can score goals at county league level in the English pyramid and is currently in a rich vein of form for his sunday side too and after watching him a few times i'm hoping he will be at training this week"
Also on the transfer front Four Crosses have today placed 7 days notice of approach on top scorer Ian Jones but it is thought he is willing to stay and fire the Pitmen into division 1.

top ^ 22 Nov 2009 - Hard earned 3 points at Berriew | Trefonen went into this game knowing that they had to pull out all the stops to maintain their five game unbeaten run in the league against a team who were positioned one place above.
On a very heavy pitch Trefonen settled well and should have gone 1-0 up as early as the 5th minute when a great cross from James Lewis found Al Gunn unmarked in the box,his effort went just over the bar.
Berriew produced some good football themselves and had a couple of good half chances.
As both teams cancelled each other out early on, it was going to take something special to break the deadlock.That little bit of magic came from Tommy Lewis who beat four players and then drilled the ball past the helpless 'keeper.
Paul Warren was called upon to make a good save in the 29th minute for the visitors following a low shot from outside the box.
Trefonen increased their lead in the 40th minute when Al Gunn fed top scorer Ian Jones who made no mistake from inside the box.
Trefonen opened the second half strongly with Mark Dutton going close with a header in the 53rd minute.
Trefonen had a strong appeal for a penalty turned down in the 58th minute when Ian Jones was brought down but referee Terry Thomas was not convinced.
Berriew grew stronger as the half went on and were rewarded in the 63rd minute when Tristan Jackson scored following a goalmouth scramble.
This goal appeared to unsettle the visitors,who found themselves under a lot of pressure.
The equaliser came in the 71st minute when Berriew equalised through Leon Williams.
Trefonen responded well and went close a couple of times,the best chance came to Zak Manhire who shot just over the bar after great work by Martin Phillips.
The visitors hard work paid off in the 79th minute when man of the match Tommy Lewis made it 3-2 after some great team play.
Ian Jones had a free kick well saved in the 83rd minute which resulted in a corner kick being converted by Martin Phillips to make it 4-2.
Berriew scored a late goal through Craig Pearse just before referee Terry Thomas blew the final whistle to ensure Trefonen took a massive three points back over the border.
This was a very compeititive match played in tough conditions against a very good side who will certainly be pushing for honours at the end of the season.Author: SP |

The committee and myself Don't ask for much off the field from any of you but I am requesting that every player available comes along not just to help raise cash but to have a good social night as a club.
Tickets as you know are £10 and most of you have already taken some so please arrange to get the cash in for these as early as possible this week so there is less money to deal with on the night.
As far as the night goes, Obviously we all know that Lanna will be singing some favourites from the 80s and 90s but we will also be doing a raffle and auction so please bring along a few quid with you.
Please lads for those of you who read this send me a text to let me know how many you have got coming as we really do need to work out rough numbers.

top ^ 7 Nov 2009 - Kerry Reserves match report | In atrocious conditions,Trefonen continued their impressive form with a nine-goal blitz of Kerry Reserves.
Trefonen had some good chances early on but were denied by some excellent goal-keeping and poor finishing.
The deadlock was broken in the 20th minute when the lively Nick Davies scored his fourth goal in four games with a powerful low shot from 15 yards out.
Trefonen were denied on a couple of more occasions by some incredible goal-keeping by 16 year old Ryan Andrews.
Trefonen had to wait until the 43rd minute before they could increase their lead - a well placed free kick from 20 yards out by top scorer Ian Jones.
It was 3-0 a minute later when a long clearance from Trefonen's 'keeper Brian Teagle found Ian Jones who set up Alex Gunn in the box who made no mistake from close range.
Mark Dutton was denied just before the interval when Ryan Andrews pulled off another fine save.
With Ian Jones struggling with injury,it was time to reshuffle the pack.
Manager Nick Popyk introduced new signing Darren Jones to the game.He quickly showed his worth with strong challenges on the ground and in the air.
It was not long into the second half before Trefonen went further ahead,Zak Manhire getting on the end of a superb Mark Dutton cross.
Provider turned goalscorer in the 59th minute when man of the match Tommy Lewis and James Lewis combined to sut up Dutton who unleashed a spectacular shot into the roof of the net.
Five minutes later Zak Manhire was brought down in the box after a jinking run,captain Derek Lloyd made no mistake from the spot to make it 6-0.
Trefonen scored again in the 70th minute and 75th minute through Tommy Lewis and Zak Manhire.
The rout was completed in the 87th minute when Zak Manhire scored from the spot after Lea Morris was brought down in the box.
Although this was a great day of celebration for Trefonen Football Club,special mention must go to Kerrys young goalkeeper Ryan Andrews who pulled off a string of unbelievable saves - a real star of the future.
Well done to the sporting Kerry players also who,facing heavy defeat,stuck together and never once were heard to get on each others backs - true team spirit.Author: SP |

top ^ 2 Nov 2009 - New Signings | Manager Nick Popyk has moved to sign Goalkeeper Brian Teagle from fellow Mitsubishi league 2 club Defaid Du. Teagle, 26 made a solid debut in the village cup victory over Meifod and the manager feels that this signing along with the return of Paul Warren will provide enough competition for the number one jersey vacated when Darren Powell moved to Llanrhaedr.
Also Popyk is hopeful of adding a new centre half to the squad and has placed seven days notice of approach on one from Shropshire county league premier side Morda United. Again this will provide good competition amongst the defenders at the club.Author: NP |
top ^ 1 Nov 2009 - 5 ***** performance at Meifod in village cup | Trefonen continued their excellent run of form with a terrific win over Division 1 high-fliers Meifod.
After a pretty even start,Trefonen had the best chance in the 11th minute after some great build up play by Alex Gunn and Nick Davies down the right.
Top scorer Ian Jones controlled the ball well but was denied by a good tackle just as he was about to pull the trigger.
Trefonen suffered a major blow in the 15th minute when the dependable Dave Davies limped off after aggravating a knee injury.
The deadlock was broken in the 29th minute when a great run by Tommy Lewis found Nick Davies who finished off well.
Meifod drew level three minutes later when a cross from the right found the head of Andrew Weaver,whose powerful header hit the cross-bar and bounced down on the goal-line.
The home team claimed that the ball had crossed the line and after consultation with the the visitors linesman,the referee awarded the goal.
After good build up play,the impressive Tommy Lewis was rewarded in the 37th minute when he fired home a low shot from 18 yards out.
Trefonen had an effort disallowed in the 43rd minute when Mark Duttons indirect free kick was helped into the net by the home 'keeper,a touch which the referee Terry Thomas did not see.
Meifod came out strong in the second half and had a couple of good chances to draw level - the best of which flew over the bar from six yards out.
As Meifod chased the game,Trefonen had several good chances on the break - Alex Gunn hit the post and Todd Roberts shot straight at the 'keeper from close range.
In the 80th minute,Trefonen were awarded a free kick 20 yards out.Mark Dutton stepped up and unleashed a powerful shot past the 'keeper.
In the dying seconds, Trefonen capped off another fine team performance when Todd Roberts made no mistake from close range.
This must be regarded as one of Trefonens finest performances since its reformation last year.
Well done lads - this was a five star performance against a team doing well in the league above us.
Thankyou to Meifod for their hospitality and to referee Terry Thomas for his handling of the game.Author: SP |

top ^ 20 Oct 2009 - Playing Field Development - Exciting Times!!! | This week sees volunteers delivering hundreds of survey forms through letter-boxes in the Trefonen,Treflach and Nantmawr area to get feedback on what village hall and playing field improvements they would like to see.
Cricket,Tennis,Crown Green Bowling and an improved childrens play area are just some of the ideas that have been mentioned.
As far as the football club is concerned,this would also mean a complete overhaul of the pitch along with improved changing facilities in the village hall.
Once the survey forms have been collected (within one week),they will be analysed and the process of public consultation and securing funding for this massive project will begin.
It is envisaged that the development will happen in a number of phases, and that hopefully, the football pitch will be one of the first areas to be addressed - watch this space for a regular update!!!Author: SP |
top ^ 19 Oct 2009 - Announcements | Everyone at the club from chairman through to manager down to local supporters would like to pass on their condolences to Dave Davies and his family following the sad loss of his father Emlyn who sadly passed away on 9th October aged 74. Dave is club captain here at Trefonen and all our thoughts are with him and his family.
A collection amongst the players was done at saturdays game raising £46 which was given to Dave later. Dave would like to thank everyone for their kindness and sympathy during this time and said that the donation would be going to the Lingen Davies Cancer Centre appeal.
Sadly more bad news as James Thornell has had to take a brief back seat from commitments with the club as his Father his also unwell, again we are thinking of James and wish his Dad well in his recovery.
Finally some happy news, The club finally heard on Sunday that our player Ian Lane (Lanna) and his wife Nicola were welcoming another addition to their family. Carter James Lane was born early sunday evening and after a difficult labour both Mum and new son Carter were doing well, although Dad was an emotional wreck. Lanna has been unavailable for a few weeks due to the work commitments and obviously the impending arrival but is still very much part of the squad here. Everyone here at the club would like to congratulate the whole family and Im sure there will be a few beers raised to the celebration at the club fundraising night where Lanna is providing the entertainment on November 14thAuthor: NP |
