Cynon Rhondda Merthyr JFL

Let this sink in. Would Ask all Club AGAIN to ensure messages are clear to Coaches & parents. This behaviour is ruining Grassroots football for all those involved.

Many fixtures are already underway despite the windy conditions. Common sense is needed to ensure the safety of players & those attending the game. #CRMJFL

This impacts a number of our Junior League games scheduled at Merthyr grounds - home teams to ensure that opposition & officials are notified please. Whilst we will look to update on Comet. #gamesoff

@AberdareSociety Just an idea but great opportunity to get u16 players involved...as a junior league we could then utilise in u12 league to get experience & opportunity to earn few £s whilst add onto the CV's. Also promote within colleges as many doing sports courses #refswanted

With League games postponed due to covid issues we wish all Clubs nominated to compete in the SWFA Cup the very best of luck. Its been a tough start to the season but 🤞 all recover well and we can get back to it shortly. #grassroots

@AberdareSociety @swwgl @FAWales @SouthWalesFA Its a huge issue as @FAWales growing the game not really doing much regarding growing official's who are instrumental in assisting player development. Similarly a lack of provision of fields & training etc. Foundations need strengthening for all to grow at same speed.

Our Twitter account and Referee’s within our society are contacted by so many @FAWales @SouthWalesFA member clubs and it’s clear that Referee numbers need to be increased. We call for the governing bodies to look at retention and recruitment #refsforall

@GmanGeneral1977 @AberdareSociety @rhondda_refs All Club Secretary's have been made aware of the situation regarding a lack of match officals. We are fairly lucky that we seem to have more officialls covering games than most leagues, despite few drop outs, but as teams grow, the number of pitches & officials are not.

@crmjuniorfl @AberdareSociety @rhondda_refs 3 games for u14s and we only had 1 official ref and its caused issues in both games, dodgy decisions, bias...no great at all and unfair on the lads. Appreciate not many want to be refs with how they are treated, but for me unless official ref we shouldn't have to play

Still looking for 2 cover officials for 2 u16 games 2pm ko today @AberdareSociety @rhondda_refs if any availability please LMK. #diolch #grassroots #refswanted

Its the opening weekend of the CRMJFL season. Early morning games completed with many players taken part in a League game for the first time (u13s). Plenty of other games still underway & hope regardless of results all enjoy their return to league football👌 #CRMJFL

Well another @FAWales meeting for Clubs - no interaction on the session despite huge changes that will impact grassroots. Some positives tho! Details will be forwarded onto Clubs once copies issued that covers: * COMET for matches * Registrations * Accreditation

Following on from earlier tweet...emails were forwarded on earlier to all Clubs from FAW/SWFA and RCTCBC had also issued guidance. Aspects need to be adhered to prior & during training sessions to ensure saftey but let's hope that player development can progress. #Grassroots

This is the green light that can allow junior & mini football training to return with covid guidance & measures in place. I no doubt there will be an update from @FAWales to confirm shortly 👍👍 #OneYearOn

To all involved with junior football including the hard working Club Secretary's, the Coaches, the players, the parents, the grandparents, the Covid officers, mstch officials, whilst a strange year, we would like to wish all a very Merry Christmas. #MerryChristmas #CRMJFL
