The Cemaes Bay FC Story

5 a side != 11 a side, completely different ball game, you can be decent at 5 aside by just putting yourself about a bit and getting stuck in.

We have people come down to our club all the time who regularly play 5 aside and either haven't played 11aside for a while, or don't play 11aside and they look alright in training but get them in a proper game and they don't get a kick. IIRC our prem is 11. in the football pyramid with the premierleague at 1 and Conference at 5.

North West Counties 2 (http://www.tonykempster.co.uk/nwc2.htm - Winsford Utd, Darwen, Oldham Town) is Level 10 - are you one below that (TK doesn't include it)?

Yeah i know, fair comments. The 7 a side is played across half a football pitch so it's not your average 50m long astroturf pitch, but it's still not 11 a side.

As i said earlier essentially the fitness thing is probably the key thing for now, especially seeing i play either DMC or anywhere along the back line, which is clearly their weakness atm.

Yes and no, there isn't any automatic promotion and relegation from the NWC2, there's about 4 'feeder' leagues, but i think the system might be similar to how it used to be in the football league.

Update:

Student loan has arrived so we have money to do things. An email to the address i found is now in order.

Their next fixture is vs Gaerwen on the 14th, so we plan to go to that regardless. Gaerwen look pretty average (still picked up 7 points in the 10 games) but when they get beat they get beat heavily. Chance for draw for Cemaes possibly.

Update on their performance.
