Sat, 28 July 2007  Town battled out a scoreless draw with Welsh Premier outfit Connah's Quay Nomads and on the balance of play , the draw was a fair result , writes Peter Glynn at Central Park , Denbigh. Most pleasing for Dyer's men will have been the clean sheet , particularly after shipping four goals in last week's defeat against Llanrwst United , and with a little more composure in front of goal , Town may have sneaked a win. The first half was evens-stevens , with Mike Lundstram and Ian Evans involved in most of what went on in attack , whilst at the back Mark Orme and Kev Jones were dominant , with triallist Tony Davies proving a powerful figure in the heart of the home defence. Town were almost unlocked on 15 minutes when Nomad's Stuart Cook wriggled his way into the Town box , but he found Jamie Hulse in skinflint mood and the Central Park stopper snaffled his shot. Cook was the pick of the Quay players and Kev Jones and Orme combined to prevent yet another run at a backpedalling Denbigh defence. Then Stewart White unleashed a shot with goal written all over it but Hulse was relieved to see the Quayman's effort rebound off the still quivering crossbar. Lundstram manufactured a fine effort following a one-two with strike twin Ian Evans , and the left hand post will need another coat of varnish as the ball skimmed past , with Nomad keeper Danny Evans nowhere. The game turned scrappy till midway through the second stanza , then sprang into life as Lundstram again skimmed a post from 20 metres. Next Ian Evans had his effort pouched by a relieved Nomads custodian after he was released by the now irresistable Lundstram. On 70 minutes Town had their best spell. Tommy Harrison and Kenny Burgess began prodding and probing , but Nomad's held firm as first Ian Evans shot at a defender and then Andy Booker just failed to convert with a cheeky lob. The Quay were hardly troubling Hulse and with Darrell Jones added to the mix , Town played out the game with relatively few worries. Upfront , Town will be regretting a lack of composure but Tim Dyer will be happy with the result as he tweaks his team for the new season ahead.

Sat, 28 July 2007  Exclusive! Nomads' Jim Hackett talks to the DTFC Podcast!
Jamie Hulse snaffles the ball to deny the Quay.  Tommy Harrison challenges  A Booker Lob  Kevin Jones points the way. Jim Hackett's Comment from the CQN Website NOMADS MANAGER JIM HACKETT REPORTS:- Looking at the Denbigh Town team sheet before the game, I was surprised at the number of their players that had played in the Welsh Premier League in the past, and knew that they would have quite a strong side out, allied to this was the fact that they hadn't played midweek, so would be fresh and looking to take our scalp. The game itself started quite well for us, and we should have scored a couple of goals in the first ten minutes, with Wayne Morgan and Stuart Cook both missing gilt edged chances. Unfortunately for Wayne he didn't get the chance to make amends due to his suffering a slight hip injury and being replaced after fifteen minutes. The remainder of the half saw us making occasional flurries into the Denbigh Town half and never quite managing to get a shot in or misplacing the final pass, whilst Denbigh Town also suffered from the same problems. Five minutes before the break saw Stuart White hit the post after latching onto a header from Chris Herbert (trialist), and going past his defender. The second half saw numerous changes in the playing personnel, with everybody being given a chance to show what they could do, however, for a few of the players it was obvious that three games since Tuesday was taking their toll, and the quality of passing was disappointing. Both sides had chances to score, and Denbigh Town had one good chance cleared off the line, whilst despite some decent approach play we continued to miss the target or the final pass too often, and the game petered out to a no score draw. For me, the chance to look at some players that hadn't really had a lot of game time was valuable, and of the three trialists, Chris Herbert looked like he has the potential to make an impression at Welsh Premier League level. The three games in a short period have shown that we are possibly short on putting a strong squad together, however, with everybody back and fit for the game against Trafford next week we'll hopefully be a lot sharper and incisive with our passing. Overall, whilst the game didn't produce any goals it allowed me a further chance to identify players that can produce what we're looking for, and this weeks training will allow us to work on the areas of the team that need sorting."

Thu, 26 July 2007 Mackie Magic
Mackie gains possession Gugs in action A Simon Mackie double and a Chris Hughes effort secured a three nil victory for Denbigh Town Reserves against a useful St. Asaph side at Roe Plas Meadows , writes Peter Glynn. Almost back to full strength , the Town went at it from the first whistle and on 5 minutes Matt Toole was desperate to see his overhead effort twang the bar with City's keeper grasping at air. Ben Stanway and Steffan Tomos were making hay on the heavy playing surface , and the youngsters combined well to set up Mackie whose effort was somehow scrambled behind. Town continued to press and John Earnshaw , captain on his final appearance for the club , was running the show in the middle of the park. A goal was surely coming , but Denbigh had to wait until the 44th minute , when a sweet cross from the right was met by the impressive Mackie who sidefooted home to give the Town an edge. The second half was much the same , with the Central Park outfit running things from the off. The Citizens sensed an equaliser early on in the piece , but a combination of Jonny Bowen and Jamie Clayton cleared the danger. New man Josh Hannan was switched to the centre and his ball released Gareth Roberts , the youngster twisting and turning to produce a neat cross for James Koval who was only thwarted by a last ditch tackle. St. Asaph found Chris Brown in ungenerous mood as two break-outs were smothered by the Denbigh stopper , and one long clearance fell to Koval whose cross shot was fumbled by the City keeper and Mackie pounced to poach his second. It was now all Denbigh and Gareth Roberts chased down a defender , robbed the ball and found the incoming Chris Hughes , whose strike looped over the keeper and into the net via the crossbar. Denbigh Town Reserves: Chris Brown , Ben Stanway , Johnny Bowen , Jamie Clayton , Kevin James , Martin Jones , Chris Hughes , Steffan Tomos , John Earnshaw (Captain) , Simon Mackie , Matt Toole. Subs (all used) Gareth Roberts , Gaz Lewis , John Hannan , James Koval , Adam Owen , Chris Bailey. Goal Scorers: Simon Mackie (2) Chris Hughes. Man of the Match: John Earnshaw.

Tue, 24 July 2007 The Denbigh Town FC Podcast - reporting on the Denbigh Town v Llanrwst United match. Comments[2] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tue, 24 July 2007 Town Sucker Punched by Hot Roosters It was goals galore as Llanrwst United pipped Denbigh Town to the post in a 4-3 thriller at Central Park , writes Peter Glynn. Boasting new signings Kenny Burgess and Tommy Harrison , things looked rosy early doors for the home side , with an opener on the 10 minute mark from Mike Lundstram , the speed merchant rolling the ball home after finding himself with a one on one with the Roosters custodian.  Lundstram turns away after giving Town an early lead. United were not there for the ride and it was a breakaway that produced their equaliser , with the tricky Aron Jones slotting home after good work by Luke Mahoney in midfield. Town bounced back and Lundstram had a shot that inched wide and Burgess was unlucky on two occasions but were caught on the rebound when Luke Mahoney slammed home after the Central Park back line fell asleep. Ian Evans almost poached an equaliser on 30 minutes when he skipped past the Rooster shotstopper only to find the last defender there to turn his shot behind for a flag kick.  Worker Bee: Ian Evans was busy all evening. The visitors began to take charge and United made it three on the 40 minute mark when the excellent Jamie Turner fired home with Denbigh looking for a linesman's flag. But the Town were given something of a reprieve on half time when the whistle blower awarded the home side a dubious penalty , from which spot specialist Jamie Hobson scored. After the break the Town set up camp in the United half , and it was no surprise when worker bee Ian Evans rose to head home an equaliser on 70 minutes . Then Darren Cassidy will count himself unfortunate to strike wood with a 25 yard swerver but the Roosters were always dangerous on the counter , with Turner and Aron Jones again going desperately close. Burgess and Harrison both had opportunities that failed to find the target , but it was left to Leighton Griffiths with the goal of the game - a sweet 20 yard volley from a cleared corner - to produce the sucker punch and eek out a win for the impressive Welsh Alliance outfit. Denbigh Town: Jamie Hulse , Jamie Hobson , Adam Jones , Mark Orme , Darrell Jones , Tommy Harrison , Kevin Evans , Kenny Burgess , Andy Booker , Mike Lundstram , Ian Evans. Subs ( used) Darren Cassidy , Matt Gatfield , Gareth John Williams. Weather Watch: Dry and Sunny.

Tue, 24 July 2007 Double Delight for Denbigh as Burgess and Harrison Sign In Denbigh Town have been boosted by the signings of Kenny Burgess and Tommy Harrison , which will strengthen the Cymru Alliance newcomers squad for the campaign ahead.   Burgess: Flyer Class act: Harrison Manager Tim Dyer will be delighted to have captured Burgess , who struck 10 league and cup goals last term and whose input helped the Central Park club to a Welsh Alliance League and Cup double. The former Colwyn Bay and Bangor City flyer is a firm favorite with the fans , and they will be looking to Burgess to supply and finish in front of goal. Harrison lists Caernarfon Town , Bangor City , Connah's Quay and Welshpool as his former clubs and the 25 year old's experience makes this a key signing for Dyer , providing that touch of class and steel in the middle of the park. Meanwhile , three friendlies will kick off , starting tonight (24th July) at Central Park when Town entertain Llanrwst United , kick off 7-00pm. Then on Thursday at 7-15pm , Dyer's men host Bangor City in a rearranged match up , the original game scheduled for Friday last ( 20th July) being washed out. And on Saturday 28th July , with a 2pm kick off , the Town again play host to Welsh Premier opposition , in the shape of Connah's Quay Nomads.

Sat, 21 July 2007  Understrength Denbigh Town Reserves had a stern work out against Brynford United in a hastily rearranged fixture at Hafod - y Bryn after the Central Park pitch failed a pitch inspection on Friday. Town were up against it early doors as United raced into a two goal lead , and it could have been worse but for two flying saves from evergreen Chris Brown and a host of profligate misses from the home side's front men. Denbigh were missing a number of key players and it showed , yet the Reds stuck to their guns and at times produced some neat touches and movement. Conditions were atrocious in driving rain and wind , and with Brynford on a high after inflicting a recent 5-2 mauling to Rhyl Nomads , Denbigh needed to show some character and this they did , standing up to some stern challenges and sticking to the principles of a passing game. Man of the Match Chris Brown was in sparkling form between the sticks , but it was left to little winger Steffan Tomos to provide Town's best moment. Chris Hughes and Martin Jones broke out of defence and fed the mercurial Tomos. With Matty Toole screaming for the ball in the box , Tomos jinked around a man before curling the ball over the United keeper to supply a Denbigh consolation. Jonny Bowen & Tom Sheridan also shone , working their socks off in defence & midfield respectively in order to keep rampant United in some sort of check. Adam Owen , Chris Hughes , Justin Wilding and Ben Stanway were playing their first game for the Reserves - and despite the disappointing result , Manager Sheridan will see this first outing of the season as part of the learning process. What lessons have been learnt will be shown in the Town's next match up , a friendly with St. Asaph City on Thursday 26th July at Roe Plas Meadows , kick off 7pm. Final Score: Brynford United 6 Denbigh Town Reserves 1 Denbigh Town Reserves: Chris Brown , Ben Stanway , Jonny Bowen , Justin Jones , Justin Wilding , Chris Hughes , Tom Sheridan , Martin Jones , Steffan Tomos , Matt Toole , Adam Owen : Subs: Gareth Roberts , Chris Bailey .

Wed, 18 July 2007 Club Captain Mark Orme returns to the Denbigh Town line up on Friday 20th July , when the Central Park side take on Bangor City with a 7pm kick off. Town will be looking to shrug off the disappointment of losing the Caernarfon Town fixture so late in the day , and manager Tim Dyer will be urging his boys to kick on after such a good performance against Warrington Town Reserves.  " We will be missing Kevin and Ian Evans , who are away for the weekend on a family holiday and Darrell Jones is out personnel commitments. Yesterday Paul Edwards had some key hole surgery on a knee problem and will be out for 4 weeks. Ryan Harden is still missing with a tendon injury, John Roberts doesn’t return from holiday until Saturday. All the above mentioned players have committed themselves to the club for the coming season. "Other players already signed up include Adam Jones, Jamie Hulse, Jamie Hobson, Andy Booker, Mike Lundstrum & Darren Cassidy." said Tim Dyer. Manager Dyer is hopeful of capturing the signatures of Tommy Harrison and Kenny Burgess , which would be a massive boost to the Town's prospects for the new season. " We are hopeful we’ll have a decision off the two of them this weekend as to whether they will be committing to Denbigh for the coming season." Two members of Denbigh Town's Reserve side have caught the eye and Justin Jones and Matt Toole have been added to the squad for the Friday evening fixture. On Saturday 21st July , the Reserves kick off their pre season with a home fixture against Brynford at Central Park. Kick Off is 2pm. Manager Tony Sheridan has strengthened his squad for the campaign in the Clwyd Premier , and knows that his boys will need to hit the ground running as tough fixtures come thick and fast , none harder than Abergele Rovers on the first Saturday of the new season , 18th August.

Sat, 14 July 2007 The Denbigh Town FC Podcast - featuring Denbigh Town v Warrington Town Reserves Comments[0] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sat, 14 July 2007 Impressive Denbigh hit the ground running in a useful pre-season workout against Warrinton Town Reserves at Central Park , writes Peter Glynn. And it was the new boys on the block who caught the eye as Town bagged a 3-1 win in sunny conditions on a green baize of a pitch. With Orme and Roberts absent , Darrell Jones stepped forward to fill the gap and his partnership with utility man Kevin Evans was pivotal in keeping the young hungry Cheshire side at bay. Up front the Town looked eager to get on the score sheet , and it was Ian Evans who unpicked the Warriors defence early doors to set up Mike Lundstram who finished with ease. Kenny Burgess' trickery released the same man , and the visiting shotstopper was fortunate to stay on the paddock after cynically grounding Lundstram who was certain to score. Town were at it like knives and Paul Edwards drove at the visiting defence , took a richochet in his stride and lashed home a close range effort to double Denbigh's lead. Two excellent saves kept the Wire in it and Andy Booker fizzed a left footer an inch wide of the far post as Town threatened to run riot. But Warrington kept plugging away and got their reward when Hulse could only palm away a snorter into the path of an onrushing Anthony Brownville , and the youngster duly converted. The second half was much the same pattern with the Central Park outfit dominating proceedings , without looking like adding to the scoreline. Hulse pulled out his customary flying save to deny a Warrior equaliser but it was left to the mercurial Andy Booker to add the cherry to the scoreline. The winger gathered the ball out wide , cut inside and curled a thirty yarder off the stanchion into the net. Denbigh Town: Jamie Hulse , Darren Cassidy , Kevin Evans , Darrell Jones , Adam Jones , Tommy Harrison , Paul Edwards , Kenny Burgess , Andy Booker , Ian Evans , Mike Lundstram. Subs (all used) Graham Molloy , Jamie Hobson , Matty Gatfield , Gareth John Williams , Steve Jones.  Mike Lundstram hits terra firma & Ian Evans looks bemused.  Kenny Burgess on the ball.
