Minnows v Sharks

The top team in the Clwydian Division ‘A’ was the opponent for our own ‘A’ Team in one of the two Division ‘A’ Cup Competition Semi-Finals yesterday. The win would be based on the number of wins and, if it was a draw in the number of games, then the team with the highest aggregate would receive an additional 1-point. So, at 5-games all, the only difference was a few points in the aggregate.

All the TV & Radio news broadcasters and national & local newspapers, would always predictably describe this as our team “crashing out” of the competition. But there was no crash, only the sound of our opponents knees knocking with concern. It was really a very good result for our team as only 2 other teams this season had achieved 5-or-more games wins against Rhos Park ‘A’. Well done team.

Deganwy Castle

Have you ever tried to imagine, when looking at what’s left of the ruins of Deganwy Castle on the Vardre, what the original castle looked like. Well Click Here to go to YouTube to see a Dextra Visual bird’s eye view reconstruction of the whole castle as it might have looked in the mid-thirteenth century. Fascinating.

Conwy Honey Fair 2024

A date for your diary could be 13th September to visit the Conwy Honey Fair. between 9:00am and 4:00pm. Not only is it thought to be one of Britain’s oldest food festivals, dating back over 700-years, but it is also in a Royal Charter of Edward I that it must be held on that date every year. That is, unless the 13th occurs on a Sunday, then it must be held on the following Monday.

78% of the Season

With 78% of the Ladies League ‘A’ Division matches now behind us, our Club’s Ladies Team is now 7-points clear at the top of the league, having defeated the second place team yesterday by 8:2 points. The team’s win also resulted in their opponents dropping down into third place in the Division.

(There would have been a team photo here but it has been too hard to tie everyone down long enough between downpours to capture a photo. Maybe next time Captain, and if it’s sunny with a lovely blue sky!)
