Amateur Football Club playing in Gwent County Division 1 & North Gwent premier league. Division 2 champions & Gwent amateur cup winners 2017/18. Founded in 1915
Weβve signed a young polish lad, Krystian Cuipa, who has only lived in the uk for 4 months. Can speak hardly any English. Initiation song on Saturday and he goes and smashes Bon Jovi ππππππππ what a boy

Breaking news. Our youth team have been drawn away to Briton Ferry in the welsh youth cup!!! We donβt have a youth team but we are in the cup ππ god knows how thatβs happened
No disrespect
@FAWales
but you just fined us Β£125 for setting a smoke bomb off at a football match. Could you please explain the difference between that and your advertising. Are you now saying smoke bombs are acceptable?? Double standards at its best ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
Tuesday - We have no youth side but get drawn in the FAW youth cup
Weds am - We decide to try and put a side together
Weds pm - Twitter blows up and the Gwent fa affiliate us
Thursday - we have a squad and have done interviews for bbc radio wales and wales online.
Madness
This is ridiculous but letβs have a go. Our non existent youth team have been entered in the FAW youth cup so we are gonna try and get one together and have a go. We will give it a week to try. Any unattached 16 - 18 year olds ( can turn 19 after sept 1st) get in touch!!

We have gone and pushed this as far as we could have possibly gone. To say Iβm proud is a massive understatement it Iβve just had a phone call that has made many years of hard work worthwhile. On Sunday
@SkySportsNews
will be at the game. Unbelievable
If only half of the people who absolute slam local football clubs on here got involved with a committee or even turned up regular to support their local club then it would make such a big difference. Too many people willing to criticise clubs but wonβt be seen near one themselves
Apparently weβve upset a few people with
#missynysddu2018
I do apologise to those weβve offended... youβve got 2 options. Either tune in at 7pm to see some quality or unfollow is
Either way we donβt really give a fuck

Today
@sport_leisure
@CCBCPitchWise
@CaerphillyCBC
have rejected us moving to a new pitch so not only are they closing the local pitch we play on , they are restricting us playing anywhere. We are now officially homeless and there is a strong chance this could be our last season
Absolutely buzzing to confirm
@Edwards_travel
will not only be providing supporters travel for the Youth game
@LlanelliTownAFC
but the players will also by travelling in this πππ what an experience for the boys
#uppaddus
This hasnβt been picked up anywhere near enough. Refs get some shit but this is absolutely outstanding. The courage to do it first and then the strength to keep going. Superb FairPlay ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
I hope the gentleman I gave CPR to at
@CaldicotTownAFC
this afternoon makes a full recovery. Lost him twice but got him back. hopefully in safe hands now paramedics are with him π€πππππ
After todayβs Welsh cup results we are the only South Wales side left in the competition who donβt not play welsh league 1 or above. Means very little bht great achievement for us
The journey ends. Boys give it everything they had but the quality of the home side shone through in the end as they run out 2-0 winners. Incredibly proud of the boys, done everything they could . Good luck to
@LlanelliTownAFC
in next round
Anybody who has been to our games will know we do not charge for our match programmes but tonight we will be charging Β£2 per programme and all money taken will be donated to the Christopher Barnett memorial fund
6 days ago we had no youth side but now have 28 boys ready to sign forms in preparation for a game in 13 days. Will need to whittle the squad down but a superb response thanks to the power of Twitter
#uppaddus
Sat wating to go in the radio and
@jasonmohammad
walks past β are you the boys from that football team yesterday, what a brilliant storyβ
People knowing of Ynysddu Welfare is an amazing feeling
After very positive discussions with
@YnysdduRugby
and
@CCBCPitchWise
, we will be moving back to Ynysddu at the end of the season. CCBC have agreed to do some work at the ground which allows us to move back there which is great news for us
Iβm back. Not often Iβm lost for words but Jesus, that was unbelievable. It will take a while to sink in but incredibly proud. Boys were absolutely incredible throughout the 120 and the support will stay with me forever. Absolutely buzzing
Twitter is probably bored of us by now but..... 18 man squad picked and Iβm really pleased with the squad weβve got together. Some top players in. Extremely proud of what weβve done in 2 weeks and canβt wait until Sunday , going to be a superb day whatever the outcome
#UPPADDUS
Finally!! Weβve only gone an done the double. Boys absolutely outstanding from the first minute and thoroughly deserved it. 8th Cup Final for me with Ynysddu and first win. Absolutely buzzing
Gutted but couldnβt be prouder. 2-0 down half time but made a game of it with a 65th min goal but they won it 5 mins from time. Top outfit but we couldnβt have done any more
On Thursday evening we host
@PILLYMCA
at Ebbw Vale 3G.
We will be asking for a entry donation from any spectators at the game which will then be donated to the fundrasing for Jordanβs funeral and memorial . If you are coming to watch the game any donations would be appreciated
The game is 100% happening. We will get players signed this week.
Itβs already cost a fortune in electricity charging my phone so if anybody can help us with a bus that would be greatly appreciated
To do list
Get bus
Get flag out
Get yellow smoke
Oh I do love playing away
@LlanelliTownAFC
pleas get the bar stocked, the ddus are having a party. Look forward to visiting on the 4th of November. What a draw
Today we say goodbye and good luck to Krystian Cuipa aka Lewandowski as he returns to Poland to join the armed forces.
You couldnβt ask to meet a more polite and dedicated young man.
Stay safe Krys, youβll always be welcomed back at the Ddus ππ€π
Ynyshir player down injured today, concern all around and one Ynyshir player pipes up β where the fuck is Miss Ynysddu thenβ πππππππππ
Only a matter of time before it happened to someone. Absolutely disgusting.
The council need to start coming down far heavier on dog owners. Forget picking the shit up, keep animals off sports pitches full stop. The issue is getting worse
Several phone calls received from media outlets.
@ITVWales
coming to film training and interview some players on Monday 1st October. What a crazy few days but it looks like the next 2 weeks will be just as good
Tuesday - We have no youth side but get drawn in the FAW youth cup
Weds am - We decide to try and put a side together
Weds pm - Twitter blows up and the Gwent fa affiliate us
Thursday - we have a squad and have done interviews for bbc radio wales and wales online.

Unbelievable. Give them club of the year / team of the year / manager of the year , give them the lot because that is not being topped. Hats off
@CambrianBgc
, incredible ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
Football is a game that lasts 90 minutes. After the final whistle players should shake hands and the game is done. To go searching for players on social media and threaten them because youβve had the run around for 90 mins is absolutely mental. Shambles
So hard to pick a man of the match today . Our squad of 15 were outstanding but
@WattsvilleFC
right back was brilliant for us. ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
Havenβt said anything on here but that result today was for one man... Doug Gilchrist who sadly passed away on weds. Doug has had a huge influence on football in ynysddu for decades and without his hard work we wouldnβt be here. RIP Doug and enjoy the 3 points
We have had very positive discussions today with
@CaerphillyCBC
who have worked hard to help us and sort the situation out. Still some stuff to finalise but hopeful it will be resolved by end of the week.
βπΌπ¨ | SHARPY IS A DDU ππ€
We are absolutely buzzing to welcome
@leighsharp8
back to the club!
We canβt wait to see him back in the yellow & black this season!
Welcome home, Sharpy!

Not the away tie we wanted but what a draw. We host
@CefnDruids
in the next round of the JD Welsh cup. Brilliant draw . We look forward to hosting them on Saturday 8th December
What a performance. 1 up, 2-1 down, 2-2 after 90 and then a pen late in extra time Gives us a deserved win against the welsh league 2 side. Boys were absolutely outstanding
Unfortunately our first team game versus
@CaerleonAFCclub
was abandoned at 63 minutes following a serious injury to
@AlexLlewellyn2
.
As a club, weβd like to send our best wishes to Alex - hopefully he has a speedy recovery and we see him back on the pitch soon!
ππ€
What is going on with pre season mun?? Some clubs starting in 2 weeks time and friendlies starting in 3 / 4 weeks. Our players would tell me where to go if I wanted to do that π
Thank you to
@AberBluebirdsFC
for agreeing to host our reserves on Friday 7th December so we donβt have a reserves game on the 3rd round of the welsh cup . ππ»ππ»
I am reliably informed that we are the first ever side playing in the gwent county league to reach the 3rd round of the welsh cup. Many sides have reached the 2nd round but nobody has gone further . Can we also be the first side to reach round 4????
Iβve seen some things in football but today I witnessed a grown man ask a young girl on the side watching if he could borrow a bobble to tie his hair back because his had snapped Unbelievable. πππ Canβt mention any names but
@aaronpewtner
will tell you.
#gamesgonemad
A massive thank you to
@OwainPepeThomas
and his family for donating a defibrillator to the club ππ½
Absolutely incredible gesture, it is greatly appreciated by us all.
Thank you!

Another 2 fines received from the north gwent league. 1 of them because someone from our club (nobody on committee) put a status asking if anyone available to ref a game. Absolutely pathetic.
They are absolutely ruining the game. Little wonder the league is struggling
Huge respect for 99% of
@Aber_Excelsiors
but their manager is one classless muppet. Iβm an absolute bellend at times but after the 90 minutes I will never lack class. He is an absolute cock

Lot of call for a Miss Ynysddu Motherβs version.
Hold tight, the summer is coming so we will assess the candidates and bring it to the masses in August
Huge shout out to today's ref

who has donated today's match fee to the
@Aber_Excelsiors
memorial fund for Chris ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
Best of luck to
@LewisBarnett9
who makes the move to Aberbargoed Buds. Barney has been
@a
huge part of the club for the last 4 years and wants to have a crack at higher standard. Good luck barn
6 weeks and the fans will be in for a treat. We have some new candidates aswell. My photo album is like a modelling agency at the moment . Competition will be stronger than ever judging by some of the summer shots π
Player waiting for 2 and half hours today for an ambulance . The boy was absolutely freezing despite all the jackets and blankets on him but as it was a sporting injury it wasnβt priority. Sad state for our health service to be in
Can you believe that some people think we have done this on purpose ππ if thatβs a case then im a genius!!
No surprise itβs players / clubs locally to us. Pathetic
Welsh football has officially lost the plot!! Any youth players over 16 who play for a Cymru Prem or Cymru south / north side, cannot sign for another senior club without quitting youth football until January. Absolutely bonkers. π€―π€―π€―π€―
