We are delighted to welcome them both back. Postponed: Caerau game off Saturday 8th December Our   game   at   home   to   Caerau   (Ely)   has   been   postponed   following   the continuing wet weather in the Valleys. The   Club   left   it   as   late   as   possible   to   call   the   game   off   but   with   heavy   rain   set in   for   the   next   few   hours   and   water   already   laying   in   the   penalty   areas   there was   no   chance   of   the   game   going   ahead.      A   date   for   the   re-arranged   game will be set in due course. Postponed. Buds game off Wednesday 5th December The   Welsh   League   Division   Two   game   this   evening   at   Aberaman   Park between Aberdare and Aberbargoed Buds has been postponed. With   the   heavy   rain   of   the   last   few   days,   persistent   rain   during   today   with   the threat   of   a   yellow   weather   warning   the   game   has   been   postponed   due   to   a waterlogged   pitch.   A   date   for   the   re-arranged   game   will   be   announced   when confirmed. Aberdare sign two new forwards Tuesday 4th December Aberdare   Town   are   pleased   to   announce   the   signings   of   Adam   Jones and Scott Philpot. Jones   is   formerly   or   Merthyr   Town   and   Dinas   Powys   and   makes   the   move   to Aberaman   Park   having   had   a   spell   with   Newport   City.      He   was   top   scorer   for Dinas   last   season   with   15   goals   in   25   appearances   and   Aber   boss   Simon Jones   will   be   looking   for   a   similar   type   of   return   to   try   and   help   push   the   team away from relegation. Also   signing   is   Scott   who   is   rejoining   the   Club   having   had   a   previous   spell and re-joins from Gwawr. We   welcome   both   players   to   the   Club   and   hope   they   have   an   enjoyable   spell with Aberdare.

U14s chosen to represent league Monday 12th November Our   Under   14s   squad   have   been   chosen   to   represent   the   Aberdare Rhondda   Junior   Football   League   in   the   South   Wales   FA   Boys   Under   14s Cup. The   competition   originally   started   as   the   Tesco   Junior   Cup   in   2006/07   for under   13s   and   with   the   withdrawl   of   Tesco,   the   age   group   was   changed   to under   14s   at   the   start   of   the   2011/12   season.     As   with   the   under   16   junior   cup the   eight   junior   leagues   each   nominate   two   teams   who   are   then   drawn   on   a straight   knockout   with   teams   from   the   same   league   being   kept   apart   in   the first round of the draw. For   this   season   all   matches   will   be   35   minutes   each   way   and   if   the   game finishes   level,   extra   time   of   10   minutes   per   half   will   be   played   and   then   if necessary a penalty shoot out will be used to determine the winners. The    first    round    will    be    played    on    Saturday    19th    January,    round    two    on Saturday   9th   February,   semi   finals   on   Saturday   9th   March   and   the   final   on Sunday 5th May. Steve   Pearce,   one   of   the   coaches   of   the   team,   was   delighted   to   be   given   the news:   “The   lads   have   been   brilliant   for   the   last   few   years   and   have   done   the Club   proud.   Its   a   great   honour   to   be   chosen   to   represent   the   league   and   we will   go   out   there   looking   to   do   the   best   we   can   -   it   will   be   a   great   experience for our players to test themselves against the best sides in South Wales”. Chairman   of   the   Club   Garry   Williams   was   equally   as   delighted:   “Not   only have   they   won   the   league   title   for   the   last   two   years   but   also   in   the   way   they have   played   and   conducted   themselves   -   they   have   been   great   ambassadors for Aberdare   Town   and   the   whole   Club   will   be   behind   them   in   this   prestigious competition”. Aber complete signing of Dunning Friday 9th November Aberdare   Town    are    pleased    to    announce    the    signing    of    goalkeeper Callum Dunning. Callum   has   been   awaiting   international   clearance   in   order   to   be   able   to   play for   the   Club   which   finally   came   through   this   week   and   prior   to   his   move   back to   Wales   he   played   in   the   East   Midlands   Counties   League   for   Radford   in Nottingham   and   previous   to   his   spell   with   them   he   played   for   Ilkeston   FC   in the   Northern   Premier   League.   He   was   brought   up   in   Wales   and   has   now returned after 6 years in Nottingham. We    welcome    Callum    to    the    Club    and    hope    he    has    an    enjoyable    and successful   time   with   us.      With   the   injury   to   Martyn   Phillips   he   goes   straight into the squad for the game against Dinas Powys. STM match postponed Wednesday 7th November Aberdare   Towns   home   game   with   STM   Sports   this   evening   has   been postponed.
