A PILLAR of Dolgellau’s football community has been commemorated with a memorial bench in the town’s football stand.

Dolgellau Athletic Amateur Football Club has paid tribute to one of its most influential characters, Kenwyn Parry, who passed away earlier this year aged 83.

Mr Parry had been with the club since its formation in 1971 and served as chairman for nearly three decades between 1980 and 2006.

The bench was unveiled prior to the club’s first official fixture in Spar League Division Two which Dolgellau went on to win 2-0 against Presteigne.
