Newtown snap up ex-England schoolboy starlet Theo Ezea
NEWTOWN Football Club manager Nathan Leonard is relishing the forthcoming JD Cymru North season. The ex-Guilsfield boss has been tasked with steadying the ship at Latham Park following last season's relegation from the JD Cymru Premier and Leonard is full of confidence. This week saw ex-England schoolboy international Theo Ezea make the switch from Salop Leisure Premier League club Ellesmere Rangers while winger Tom Jones has joined on loan from JD Cymru Premier champions TNS. Leonard said: "Theo is a great young talent with huge potential while Tom Jones has signed on loan from TNS and will be a massive threat going forward. "There will be two or three more signings before the window closes, we know what we are lacking and the players coming in will push us on further." Leonard insisted nobody at Latham Park would be taking promotion for granted after bookies made the Robins joint-second favourites to win the league. Leonard said: "We are in no doubt how tough the league will be this season but the energy and work rate shown against TNS hasn't been seen at the club for a while now and it's a great base to work from. "Considering we've lost 15 players from last seasons squad I'm really really happy with the group assembled and we have the potential to have a great season."

Derby dates set for supporters of Newtown and Caersws
NEWTOWN fans may have hoped they had seen the last of Friday night football following their relegation from the JD Cymru Premier. However, Robins fans can look forward to a Friday night opener at home to Ruthin Town in next season's JD Cymru North on Friday, July 25. Caersws are also in action on Friday night when they travel to Denbigh Town. Guilsfield open their campaign on Saturday, July 26 when they travel to Gresford Athletic with the Wrexham club continuing to be based in Broughton. Penrhyncoch begin their season at Mold Alexandra on Saturday, July 26. Newtown will host Caersws on Monday, August 25 for the return of the Powys derby. Meanwhile hopes of a revival of the Boxing Day festive derbies between Newtown and Caersws have been dashed. Instead Newtown will host Airbus UK Broughton while Caersws travel to Mold Alexandra. However, Powys football fans can look forward to a festive derby of sorts when Guilsfield host Penrhyncoch on December 27. Caersws will host Newtown on New Year's Day 2026 in the return fixture of the Powys derby.
