Cup draws and Merchandising Page

Presteigne St Andrews FC
Presteigne St Andrews' Otway Cup-winning side of last season

The draws for the Presteigne Otway Cup and Alfred Sparey Cup were made at the club’s committee meeting on Tuesday 5 October.

All the details are on the Otway & Sparey Cups page of the site – so click on the tab at the top of the page and this will take you there.

Among the highlights as far as Presteigne supporters are concerned are that Barry Williams’ first team will take on Newbridge in the Otway Cup semi-final in what will be a repeat of last year’s final.

Andy Crowe’s Reserves will have to wait for the outcome of the first-round tie between Shobdon and Llandrindod Wells Reserves before knowing who they will meet at Llanandras Park in a quarter-final tie.

There are six clubs in the Otway Cup this season and no fewer than 13 in the Sparey Cup – both competitions have proved more popular than last season, but the rise in the Sparey Cup entries could be down to there being fewer clubs in the Mid Wales League (South).

There is also a change of cup secretary for this season – Tom Edwards has agreed to take on the job and so takes over from Trevor Owens who has done it for the last five years.

Meanwhile, there is a new tab at the top of the page that will take you to the recently-added Merchandising page of the site.

Our thanks to Tom Ammonds for his work on this, so why not take a look and start your Christmas shopping early?!
