Dinas have signed Steffan Davies from Haverfordwest, previous clubs include Pontardawe and Newcastle Emlyn.
Recent signing Robbie Fowler is on his second spell at Dinas, previous clubs include Maesteg Park, and Bridgend Street. Robbie is a pacey forward through the middle or out wide and will add to our attacking options.
Manager Mark Dunford feels that both will prove very good acquisitions for the club and we wish Steffan and Robbie every success in their time at Dinas Powys.

Dinas Powys FC. Managers vacancy
After a successful season on the pitch, with the first team camped in the top half of the table all season, and in the promotion race until four games from the end, Dinas Powys are again in the hunt for a new Management Team, after manager Marc Cahill reluctantly stepped aside after struggling to balance his work commitments to Cardiff City, and assistant Phil Clay also had to step aside having increased his coaching role with Cardiff City.
A club spokesman said; - “Marc & Phil had kept us posted all the way along about their other commitments, so it hasn’t come as a huge surprise that they’ve had to step down, which has given us a bit of time to prepare. The fact they are in such demand is a testament to how highly regarded they are outside the club as well as inside, and as three of the last four manager’s here have now been snapped up by either a Welsh Premier League team or Football League set-up, we must be doing something right!”
“It’s another sign of the quality people they are and the relationship we have with them, that both have offered to help set up our pre-season programme which is due to begin on July 5 th, and which the new manager can then take over, rather than having to start from scratch, which is a real help as our Welsh League season finished a month late.”
With the club hopeful of retaining the core of last season’s mainly local players, supplemented by having fourteen Youth players from their successful U18 & U19 teams registered for senior football last season, they expect to be able to hit the ground running with the addition of a handful of new players, to build on last season’s success.
The spokesman said,- “The aim must always be to improve on the previous season in all areas, and with the Committee also being strengthened significantly with some quality people joining us, we’re optimistic that will happen”.
Applicants should contact Dave Jose at david.jose@talktalk.net with a summary of experience to date, or on 07973 488718. Previous Welsh League experience would be an advantage, but is not essential.

Having had a good response to the Club’s adverts I am delighted that we have appointed a new First Team Manager.
His name is Marc Cahill, who is 'second in command' at Cardiff City's football in the Community Team, which employs 25 coaches. Marc is currently sitting his 'A' Licence (alongside a number of 'Premiership Players) and has coached in the USA, winning a State Championship, and coached a University team to a Championship slot as well. He has also considerable experience of coaching Cardiff City's academy teams, and has played Welsh League football for Cwmbran and Croesyceiliog, and non-league football for Bath City where he was being monitored by Exeter City, before injury took him into coaching.
Twenty-nine year old Marc will retain his Cardiff City position, and has had clearance that this will have very little if any interference with his Dinas commitments, providing what could be hugely valuable links between the two clubs, at both Junior and Senior level. He is also keen to help with fund-raising and sponsorship.
He chose Dinas ahead of a number of other coaching offers he had from Welsh League clubs, because of his belief in what we are trying to build at the club, and is as committed as we are to developing a club, not just a team. Building and developing the player's we have rather than importing mercenaries from outside, although he has plenty of contacts to be able to bring in quality players to fill gaps.
He intends to ask Nathan Nurton to stay on as his assistant, and will be speaking to Ricki Morgan and Andy Lane as one of his first jobs.

Irresponsible dog owners turned us into Dinas Poo-ys!
The club is constantly battling with a number of irresponsible dog owners who allow their dogs to foul and leave there mess on the pitch and surrounding area at The Murch. We have reported the problem to The Vale of Glamorgan Council in the past but the problem has increased since the beginning of the year.
Before the game against Caldicot Town on the 23rd January we inspected the pitch and removed three piles and thought the pitch was clear, we were wrong and the game had to be stopped three times for more to be removed. The referee rightly reported the situation to the League and the club was warned that the ultimate sanction could be withdrawal of league membership if the problem persisted. We now regularly check the pitch before games and usually have to remove dog mess, the surrounding area where spectators have to stand also suffer and before a game recently twenty piles of dog mess were spotted on the side opposite the grandstand.
Apart from the unpleasant though of falling onto one of these piles, most games players get cuts or grazes and if these wounds are infected then the consequences for the player could be very serious.
The Council now say they will include the ground as one of the patrol areas for their enforcement officers.
The problem has made the papers with The Gem and The Penarth Times reporting on the problem. Today (Sat 3rd April) it has made The South Wales Echo.
We are determined to do all we can to beat this problem with regular inspections etc and will report further instances to the VOG Council who have a legal duty to keep areas clear of dog mess.
