"This real life Roy of the Rovers story began for Tregaron by winning the prestigious J. Emrys Morgan Cup last season. This led to an invitation to represent the Central Wales F.A. in the UEFA Regions Cup.

There followed a group section against the two regions from North Wales. The first match against Penyffordd (N-E. Wales) ended in a 2-2 draw with goals from Dorian Colman and Jonathan Evans. This meant that a victory was essential against a strong North Wales Coast Select side at Llandudno.

The Turfs produced a tremendous display of controlled, attacking football resulting in a comprehensive 3-1 victory with goals from Caradog Daniel and Dorian Colman (2).

Having won the Northern Section the Turfs now progressed to play in the Welsh final at Ninian Park against a Gwent Select side.

However this challenge proved to be a game too far with Tregaron losing 8-0 to a highly experienced, clinical side.

Dilwyn Daniel, Tregaron Turfs manager commented, " It is unfortunate that we went down heavily in the final, but I am extremely proud of my players. For a club side playing against regional squads that could take their pick from literally dozens of teams I think we have done remarkably - and can justifiably lay claim to being the best club side in Wales at this level."

Dilwyn went on to thank all associated with the club and especially the supporters who contributed in making this once- in -a- lifetime experience such an unforgettable day for Tregaron Turfs F.C. "
