⚽️ Another fantastic morning for our U6s! ⚫️⚪️

Our U6s were back at the Gwella/Deeside today and what a morning of football it was! 👏

With 3 wins and 1 draw, the team finished top of the top group — a fantastic achievement! 🏆🔥

Some of the things we’ve been working on in training this week really came into play today, with the kids showing great attacking football, composure under pressure and confidence playing out from the back. 👏⚽️

This team just keeps impressing us with their hard work, determination and, most importantly, the way they work for each other. 💪

A special mention to Home-Start Cymru Flintshire, who today’s tournament was raising money for. ❤️

We hope our team’s contribution, along with the other money raised on the day, helps support the fantastic work this charity does within our local community.

Well done U6s — another brilliant morning! 👏⚽️⚫️⚪️

Come on Llay! ⚫️⚪️

🌧️⚽ U7s FRIENDLY | LLAY WELFARE 🖤🤍

It was a dull and rainy morning at The Welly today as our U7s welcomed Tarporley Victoria for a full morning of football. 🌧️⚽

The weather certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of our boys and girls, and watching the improvements they are all making in their games is an absolute pleasure. 🖤🤍

Across 8 games between our two teams, we only lost 2, against a very good Tarporley Victoria side, which really shows just how much progress the children are making as a team. 👏

Some of the football they played today was fantastic. The passing, movement off the ball and the desire to beat their markers and get themselves into scoring positions was unreal. There were some brilliant goals scored today, with some fantastic team play behind them. ⚽🔥

A massive well played to all our boys and girls — you should all be so proud of yourselves! 👏🖤🤍

A big thank you to Tarporley Victoria for travelling over and playing us today. All 8 games were closely contested and thoroughly enjoyable. 🤝⚽

We now look forward to welcoming Rhos Aelwyd to The Welly next Sunday for our final friendly before we kick off our first league game in two weeks! 👊⚽

Sunday past saw our U5s soon to be U6s attend a very popular and well ran tournament at Pentre, Abergele.

The tournament saw our two teams only lose one match in the group stages, both ending up at the top of the group. As usual Llay Welfare attacked the group stages in formidable Welly ‘Full Tilt’ style scoring plenty of goals alongside playing some fantastic, attacking football.

One of our Llay teams progressed to the top final via a very intense semi-final penalty shootout whilst our other Llay team were narrowly knocked out, getting beat in the other top semi final. Thus meant a dramatic Llay vs Llay top final was not to be the case on the day.

After dominating their final, our Llay team finalists were sadly beaten in their top final via a sudden death penalty shootout.

Well done to Pentre on the win and hosting a great tournament.

All our boys and girls left the tournament with a medal and ice cream, leaving their coaches and families feeling very proud of their determination and football performance throughout the day.

This week we have had great fun at training all smiles are back on show as we look towards the weekend.

This coming Sunday (30th of August) we look forward to hosting our own 16 team, U6 tournament at the Welfare in preparation for the league starting.

Please come along and support your local kids teams at the Llay Miners Welfare, LL12 0TH. All are welcome to watch great football, with food and drink also available on site from 9am.
