ABERYSTWYTH Town FC’s Park Avenue played host to three fantastic finals to mark the end of this years’ Aberystwyth Junior League season.

All teams played with commitment, great temperament and considerable skill demonstrating the huge potential coming through grassroots football in the area.

In the U13s final there was a great tussle between Bow Street Magpies and Aberystwyth Town, who were entering sides for the first time this season.

With both teams playing well, there wasn’t much between the teams on the day.

A 10th minute first half Magpies strike was the difference as Bow Street ran out 1-0 winners.

In the U15s final the intensity of play was apparent from the kick off as Penrhyncoch Dynamos and Ystwyth Bears set out to gain the upper hand in early exchanges.

Despite chances at either end the scoreline remained 0-0 at half time.

A Bears B goal 10 minutes into the second half raised the tempo and despite late pressures from Penrhyn, it was enough to win 1-0.

In the U16s final Aberystwyth Town and Ystwyth Dragons provided a fitting finale to the day and season.

Both teams looked to pass the ball, retain possession and play good football.

With that came both caution and chances.

Aber struck first but Dragons levelled just before half time.

As the minutes passed in the second half, the game looked to be heading to extra time and penalties until a late Aber goal secured it for them, winning 2-1.

All three games were a joy to watch providing a fitting end to the Junior League Season, with players showing quality and excellent attitude throughout.

The Junior League was fortunate to have Aber Stars player Logan Price to assist with the medals and trophies.
