CPD Llanilltud Fawr/Llantwit Major AFC

Apologies for radio silence. Covid AGAIN! It was not fun but Arsenal dropping points at home and FC Deportivo Galicia scoring 5 away from home helped me pull through. God bless the NHS ….yet again!

On to more exciting things, I found a great story about CPD Llanilltud Fawr/Llantwit Major AFC and knew it needed sharing. So it is ……

” ….. And here it is, the special Adventures with Mr Octopus shirt we will wear for our Fenix Trophy matches and as our away strip from the 2025/26 season! We will donate a portion of our profits from the shirt and ticket sales to the charity.

Of all the beautiful yet slightly whacky kits we’ve released, this one has a very meaningful purpose

Our new Fenix Trophy shirt for this season will also become next season’s league away shirt and will brighten up the stadia of south wales and Europe for the next 2 seasons!

Get yours here from our friends at Tor Sports

As a club in the Fenix Trophy we are asked to name a local community charity to support, this season we are humbled to be supporting Adventures with Mr Octopus in memory of Evelyn

The charity was setup by good friends of the club and community in memory of their beautiful daughter – Evelyn Elizabeth Sara Thomas.

As a club we will be donating £1 for every paying entrant to our home Fenix Trophy matches this season and a percentage of sales profit from the ‘Octo-shirt’ to the charity. We hope you’ll all join with us in whatever way you can in supporting this fantastic charity

We are also looking for a front and possible rear sponsors for the shirt. We expect this to be a sought after kit so please message us or email sponsorlmafc@gmail.com to register your interest.

Many thanks for your support as always”

So, this gorgeous creation is going to be the shirt of choice of the Welsh Teanm who play in Cymru South in the Fenix Trophy. I have mailed the club and hope to get full details soon but I have found the next game will be in Antwerp. Anybody want to join me?

I know about as much about as I do and my Flemish is markedly better than my Welsh but it looks a great gig. Further details soonest.

“Two solid sides to watch, two wonderful sets of fans to drink and party with and two underrated locations to visit:

@LlantwitMajorFC vs @berchemsport has all this and much more! Will the Windmill Army succeed in conquering Europe on their second attempt or will the Antwerp-based powerhouse reach Round 2? Regardless of the outcome, I am sure it will be a great weekend. Direct bus from Flixbus…..life is sweet!

Below the Belgian stadium …..

Sincere apologies to Christian Obray and Darren Ashley. Afraid I will have to leave you until tomorrow. I will say both our intrepid heroes have been away again. A little birdie tells me we missed each other at Millwall but you can see their latest adventures here and here
