Dinas Powys Football Club’s inaugural Football Festival and Fete on Bank Holiday Monday was a huge success at Bryn Y Don with a large number of people attending to watch football games played between clubs from the surrounding area.
Boys mini football players from under 7 to under 10 and girls from under 12, 14, and 17 entertained the crowds across a number of pitches starting at 9:00am and finishing at 5:00pm. Besides the football there were stalls selling food and drink, jewellery, sweets, bouncy castle, and many others. The day was rounded off with fun sack races, space hoppers and tug of war.
The club would like to thank the clubs and managers who participated in the event including Barry Bluebirds, Porthkerry Panthers, Cogan, Barry Athletic, Barry Wolves, Six Bells, Master Mariner, Rhoose, Sully, Llantwit, Wenvoe, Cadoxton Imps, Park Lions, Holton Road, Cyncoed, Caerphilly, Thornhill, Maerdy, Dinas Powys, apologies if I have left anybody out.
Thanks also to the stall holders, St John’s Ambulance, Dinas Powys Scouts, VOG Parkie, and especially for all the hard work put in by club managers and members who helped make the day such a success.
We hope to learn and maybe improve on the day in the future and if you have any comments please send them to dinaspowysfc@f2s.com.
