-The Welsh squad

-is about to step on to...

-..one of Europe's

-biggest football stages.

-For Bale and the boys,

-the journey to the top...

-..began in local parks, under

-the watchful gaze of their parents.

-Mark!

-Mark!

-

-To feet!

-Local youth teams are the heartbeat

-of Welsh football...

-..but how about testing the skills

-of some of the parents?

-In this series, the parents play

-and the children run the club.

-Four clubs but only one winner.

-Welcome to Codi Gol.

-Amlwch, Ffostrasol, Pwllheli and

-Ammanford youth football clubs...

-..are used to running

-successful teams...

-..at least until now.

-New teams have been created, made

-up of parents of the youth players.

-Managing the squads

-are some Welsh football legends...

-..John Hartson, Owain Tudur Jones...

-..Iwan Roberts...

-..and Malcolm Allen.

-With the parents busy

-on the pitch...

-..the children will make

-the decisions off the field.

-In a few weeks, the teams will face

-each other to find one winner.

-The victorious club

-will travel to Brittany...

-..to play a special match

-during Euro 2016.

-Preparations are well under way.

-All the players and managers

-want to make their mark...

-..to ensure their team

-lifts the Codi Gol trophy.

-In West Wales,

-the Ffostrasol team are training.

-What shape are they in?

-I'm disappointed

-with the turnout tonight.

-There were 18 here last week

-and only 13 this week.

-Numbers are down.

-Glyn the Cat

-hasn't turned up for some reason.

-We're doing

-some shooting practice tonight.

-Deputy manager Gethin is put in goal

-and Iwan shows off his skills.

-Happy days - the keeper has arrived.

-Better late than never, Glyn.

-He's put straight into goal.

-With Glyn the Cat in goal, how will

-the players celebrate scoring?

-Nia isn't the only player

-showing off her celebration...

-..but will Ffostrasol be celebrating

-in a fortnight's time?

-I'm pleased with the way

-you score goals. You shoot well.

-At the moment, I think you'll be

-in the starting line-up...

-..as a striker.

-It's my dream!

-Thanks, Iwan!

-Don't let me down.

-Every goalscorer

-needs a celebration.

-Yours is the best yet.

-One player

-who has celebrated many times...

-..is former rugby international

-Hemi Taylor.

-The ball's a different shape,

-but Hemi won 24 caps for Wales.

-Hemi and his wife Carys are keen

-members of Ffostrasol's team.

-Their children Osian and Eiry

-play for the youth team.

-Ten years ago, we were selling up

-in Cardiff and moving to Australia.

-My wife Carys had a job in Sydney.

-My father-in-law John said, "Come up

-and look at a couple of properties."

-When you drive up the lane

-and see the house...

-..it's quite impressive.

-Out the back is about 200 acres

-of prime Welsh land.

-We'd never done farming before

-but we still took it on.

-It has been a challenge.

-I tell everyone I'm a Google farmer.

-Everything I want to know,

-I google it and find out from there.

-A Google farmer. Interesting.

-This is my man cave.

-This is where I do a little hobby.

-I do a bit of bone carving.

-I get a bit of cattle bone

-and draw a design on it, like that.

-I start etching and cutting away

-until we get to something like that.

-You see lots of Kiwis wearing it.

-It means good wealth,

-happiness and safe journeys.

-The Welsh Rugby Union came along...

-..and asked

-if I fancied playing for Wales.

-I thought I'd give it a go.

-I was nearly the first New Zealand

-foreigner to play for Wales.

-Twenty-four caps later,

-thank you very much.

-Gethin approached me and asked

-if I wanted to do some coaching.

-He said he'd get me on a course

-to see how it would go.

-He got me on my first part

-of the qualification.

-I had all my checks and I'm a

-qualified FAW coach at the moment.

-I'm on the first step of the ladder.

-It's the first and perhaps the last

-time we'll play in the same team.

-It's quite nice being on his side.

-I wouldn't like to play against him.

-Who is best at football, Mam or Dad?

-Who is best at football, Mam or Dad?

-

-Dad.

-Well done.

-What do you think, Osian?

-What do you think, Osian?

-

-You.

-Fair play.

-We're looking forward to the game.

-I know we are the underdogs

-in the match.

-We've got a couple of good moves up

-our sleeve so we'll see how we go.

-The man without front teeth,

-Iwan Roberts...

-..is the manager

-of the Ffostrasol team.

-He played for Wales,

-Leicester, Wolves and Norwich.

-Roberts wants it early.

-Brings it down well.

-Oh, tremendous goal.

-Iwan played more than 650 league

-games and scored over 200 goals.

-Here's Roberts.

-A chance for Roberts.

-He's scored another one.

-As a player

-you have to make sacrifices...

-..if I can use that word...

-..but it's a great life.

-You travel the world.

-You're paid for doing something

-that you would do for free.

-I think

-it's every young boy's dream...

-..to be a professional player.

-Iwan Roberts

-has put Norwich City ahead.

-Between 1989 and 2001, he played

-15 times in the red shirt.

-Representing your country

-is the biggest honour there is.

-I was 18 years old.

-I couldn't believe it.

-Kevin Ratcliffe, Mark Hughes,

-Ian Rush, on the plane.

-They were my heroes.

-Iwan was a hero

-to many Norwich supporters.

-He scored 84 goals

-during his playing career there.

-Most people associate me

-with playing for Norwich.

-Obviously

-my playing days are over.

-These days

-I'm busy writing about the club.

-Four years ago, I received

-a phone call from Chris, the editor.

-He asked if I was interested

-in writing a Friday column...

-..for the Evening News.

-I was working

-for the football press.

-This gave me the opportunity

-to develop my writing skills.

-I try hard

-not to be too judgemental.

-As a former player...

-..I know how bad it is

-to get a lot of stick...

-..from sports journalists.

-It's not great.

-You have to be honest,

-that's all you can do.

-Football supporters aren't stupid.

-Right, I have a meeting with the

-sports editor of the local paper.

-I just hope he's happy

-with my piece this week.

-Hiya, mate.

-Hiya, mate.

-

-Hello, big man, how are you?

-Are you alright?

-Are you alright?

-

-Take a pew.

-Your timing's good, look at that.

-It was a hard one...

-..because I didn't want to

-go overboard with hammering them.

-I thought I was fair in what I said.

-I thought I was fair in what I said.

-

-Yes, I think so.

-I've been a lot worse, haven't I?

-I've been a lot worse, haven't I?

-

-Cor blimey!

-What would the headlines say

-if the Ffostrasol parents win?

-France beckons for Ffostrasol folk?

-France beckons for Ffostrasol folk.

-That's a great headline.

-It's another training session

-for the Ammanford team...

-..and their manager, John Hartson.

-He's got company tonight - the

-club's current mascot, Bobby Boar.

-What do you think of the standard?

-What do you think of the standard?

-

-Very good.

-I'm surprised you can see them

-in there.

-The big question

-in this town of the boar is...

-..who is Ammanford's Bobby Boar?

-Francis Rees is the chairman

-of Ammanford AFC's youth club.

-Francis has a huge role in the club.

-He's responsible

-for all the fundraising at the club.

-He brings the club together.

-He's responsible for arranging

-the Christmas and Easter parties.

-He hands out the Christmas presents

-and the Easter eggs personally.

-You can see what it means to me by

-the smiles on the children's faces.

-After Ammanford's youth teams

-have received their Easter eggs...

-..Francis takes some to a school

-for children with special needs.

-Good boy. Will you shake my hand?

-That's it.

-We appreciate everything Francis

-does for the unit.

-He visits throughout the year,

-but especially at Easter.

-The children

-love receiving eggs from him.

-The children

-always look forward to seeing him.

-Thank you very much.

-It makes me happy to see smiles on

-their face and to see them enjoying.

-I've got a personal reason to do it.

-I have a sister-in-law

-with learning difficulties.

-I had a sister

-but sadly she passed away.

-It's nice to give something back.

-I just like to see them smiling

-and give them a little something.

-I've been Bobby Boar

-for about three years.

-I feel great

-when I've got the suit on.

-Seeing the kids smiling

-makes you happy.

-No-one else wanted to do it

-so I was volunteered...

-..because I do the coaching

-with the younger children.

-I've enjoyed it. Over the years,

-it's just become part of my life.

-Bobby Boar wants a partner.

-He's a bit lonely

-out on the pitch by himself.

-It would be nice.

-Cyril the Swan's got someone.

-I don't see why Bobby the Boar

-can't have a girlfriend.

-An important task

-faces Ethan the chairman...

-..and the rest

-of the Ammanford committee.

-They have to think of another mascot

-- a partner for Bobby Boar.

-Do you have any ideas?

-Do you have any ideas?

-

-A unicorn?

-A bird?

-Lleucu Llewpart (Leopard).

-Lleucu Llewpart (Leopard).

-

-Dic y Draenog (Hedgehog).

-Beti Buwch (Cow).

-I like it.

-But who will be Beti Buwch?

-Pasty!

-Pasty!

-

-I think you're right.

-This means John Hartson

-has some important news...

-..for one of his deputies, Pasty.

-You know you'll be one of

-the four mascots on the day, Past?

-I know.

-We're going to work you

-hard tonight...

-..a few sprints, to see your levels.

-Are you happy?

-Are you happy?

-

-No problem.

-He's not Pasty tonight,

-he's Beti Buwch.

-Go for it, Nige.

-After the break...

-..it's a busy Saturday morning

-for the Evans family in Amlwch.

-Saturdays can be hectic.

-Sometimes we have four games

-one after the other.

-Get back, Casi.

-A problem arises in Pwllheli

-for their manager, Malcolm Allen.

-The rules say there must be

-three women on the field...

-..at the start of each game.

-..at the start of each game.

-

-Leave that to me.

-All the Codi Gol parents' teams

-are starting to feel the pressure.

-It's only two weeks until the four

-clubs go head to head in Newtown.

-Time for some shooting practice.

-It's a busy Saturday morning

-in Amlwch...

-..at the home of Dave Evans, his

-wife Nia and their five children.

-Casi plays for the Amlwch U9 team.

-Caio plays for the U11 team.

-Cian plays for the U14 team...

-..and Ioan plays for the U16 team.

-Their eldest daughter Alaw also

-played for the Amlwch youth teams.

-Every Saturday morning

-is the same...

-..football matches

-all over Anglesey.

-Saturdays can be hectic.

-Sometimes we have four games

-one after the other.

-Dave goes one way

-and I go the other.

-Mam and Dad

-are always being asked for favours.

-We've got a tournament

-in Gaerwen today.

-The U9 team

-are playing this morning...

-..and the U11 team

-play this afternoon.

-After cramming everything

-into the car...

-..it's off to Gaerwen to

-support Casi and the Amlwch U9 team.

-Have you got everything?

-Boots? Shin pads?

-I love it. I've played football

-since I was tiny.

-I was lucky enough to be spotted.

-I went to Watford as an apprentice.

-I had a 12-month

-professional contract.

-I played for Bangor

-and then for Porthmadog.

-After that I played

-for Glantraeth, Llanfairpwll...

-..and then for Amlwch.

-It's a chance for the children to

-make friends from different schools.

-They get together

-and learn how to play as a team.

-They learn how to win

-and how to lose.

-They enjoy it and that's important.

-Our family life

-is ruled by the round ball.

-Get back, Casi.

-Nia's a great wife.

-She's very supportive.

-I couldn't

-have married anyone better.

-She's a proper football wife.

-Who washes the kit

-every Saturday night, Dave?

-He's very good but I deal with

-the washing. I've got a system.

-I wash and hang everything to dry

-straight away if the weather's dry.

-That way everything's ready

-for the next match.

-Along the coast in Pwllheli,

-Chris Williams is also busy.

-In addition to being part

-of the team which moved the cabin...

-..Chris is a builder

-and also coaches the U10 team.

-When you get the ball,

-pass and move.

-Don't try to do everything

-yourself. We're a team.

-It's simple. Pass and move.

-I coach with Gary Roberts

-and John Glyn.

-I'm the main man. They assist me.

-I really enjoy it.

-The three of us work well together.

-The children can now tell us

-what we're doing wrong...

-..instead of us telling them.

-Chris was brought up

-in the Ffordd-Y-Maer area.

-Football was an important part

-of his childhood.

-Local people used to refer

-to this patch of grass as Wembley.

-This was Wembley for the local kids.

-This was Wembley for the local kids.

-

-There weren't any goals back then.

-I remember stealing scaffolding

-to make the goals!

-I used to go to my gran's house

-over there every Saturday afternoon.

-I lived on a farm.

-The whole family came here to play.

-People came from all over town

-to have a kickabout.

-There used to be tournaments between

-the different estates in Pwllheli.

-Morfa Garreg versus Ffordd y Mela,

-Ffordd y Mela versus Lon Berch.

-I made lots of friends

-here over the years.

-You used to chase me away.

-You used to chase me away.

-

-I didn't want someone from a farm!

-It didn't help

-that you wore wellingtons.

-All the way! Round the corners!

-It's another training night

-in Pwllheli.

-Manager Malcolm Allen and Pete

-are working on tactics.

-Don't let her beat you.

-Well done.

-Your passing is great.

-Without complicating things, there

-are two more things to look for.

-If there's space in front of you...

-..run with the ball and

-get a cross in or a shot at goal.

-Can you do that for me?

-Can you do that for me?

-

-I'll try.

-That's all I can ask.

-Man on.

-If I was at a professional club

-and had a group of players...

-..with determination,

-keen to win every match...

-..and a group of players

-with lots of ability...

-..I'd prefer to have the group

-with heart to develop and train...

-..rather than those

-with the ability.

-I'd hope that a few of these

-would develop the ability.

-These would run through walls for me

-and that's what I have here.

-It's another successful

-training session in Pwllheli...

-..but there are important matters

-to discuss...

-..between the manager

-and his deputy, Malcolm and Pete.

-We've got five women. We need seven.

-The rules say there must be

-three women on the pitch...

-..at the start of each game.

-Leave that to me, Malc.

-Leave that to me, Malc.

-

-OK!

-You've done plenty of scouting...

-..for Cardiff, Blackburn,

-even Liverpool.

-Have you been scouting

-at Amlwch or Ammanford?

-Mostly Amlwch,

-because it's just down the road.

-They've got a strong midfielder.

-I think he was at Watford with you.

-Is it David Evans?

-He's a tidy player.

-One of the women is a good defender.

-I think she plays centre half.

-Do you know John and Iwan?

-In, out, upside down,

-whichever way you look at it.

-I know how they think

-and the kind of team they'll have.

-John will go

-for strong, physical lads.

-Iwan will do the same

-but he'll leave the defence.

-He's not strong

-when he's working with defenders.

-He was great

-at scoring against them...

-..but we're on to a winner

-against Ffostrasol's defence.

-Malcolm and Pete have predicted

-how the other teams will play...

-..but what is facing John Hartson

-and Anthony in Ammanford?

-I feel tonight

-is going to be difficult.

-We have to choose 19

-from our 24 players.

-Which 19 will go to Newtown?

-We've got our goalkeeper.

-We've only got one

-so he'll have to go!

-I like her. She's fast and

-she's got a very good right foot.

-Our Ronaldo

-- she's a real character.

-A matchwinner.

-A matchwinner.

-

-A matchwinner!

-She's already told me

-she wants the number 7 shirt.

-She's got plenty of confidence.

-We can only choose 19 players

-so it's always going to be...

-There's no pressure.

-You're the number one

-so you can pick who you want.

-I'll make the decision up here

-and you can go down and tell them.

-Thanks very much.

-Unfortunately,

-as with any football squad...

-..there isn't room for everyone...

-..and John has to disappoint

-five of the Ammanford players.

-There's no place for them

-in the squad.

-I expect you to be disappointed.

-Before the end of training...

-..there's another important task

-for the deputy...

-..sprints for Pasty.

-Go on, Pasty.

-There's pressure on him

-to improve his fitness.

-Anthony puts him through his paces.

-Are you happy with that?

-Are you happy with that?

-

-No.

-One successful member

-of the Ammanford squad...

-..who doesn't have a minute to spare

-is Barry Thomas.

-I work for Castell Howell.

-I start work at 10.30pm.

-I travel to Bristol

-and load up 15 lorries there...

-..and two artics in Cross Hands.

-I come back down the M4 and

-hopefully finish work by 8.30am.

-I come home, eat something

-and go to bed by 9.30am...

-..because at 3.00pm, the alarm goes

-off for me to fetch the children.

-As if Barry

-doesn't have enough to do...

-..he's also a coach

-for the Ammanford AFC youth club.

-We moved into the area and

-my son started playing football.

-I wanted to help the team and help

-the club. That's why I joined.

-I did all my coaching badges and

-I've started coaching the U9 team.

-When I'm coaching, I've been

-telling them, "Do this, do that."

-Cian said,

-"But Dad, you don't do that."

-It's a bit of role reversal.

-Still to come...

-..Eleri Sion takes her referee exam.

-How much time do I have left?

-Nine minutes.

-Nine minutes.

-

-OK.

-Which team of parents - Amlwch,

-Ffostrasol, Pwllheli or Ammanford...

-..will win at Latham Park

-in Newtown?

-Who will represent Wales

-in a special game in Brittany...

-..during Euro 2016?

-Eleri Sion

-will be the referee for the final.

-She has already completed

-the training course...

-..but before she can referee in

-Newtown, she has to pass the exam.

-She's under pressure.

-My time's up. I can't cram any more!

-I just have to do it.

-I'm glad this day has come at last.

-In 90 minutes, it will all be over.

-I think she's enjoyed the course.

-She's been asking

-the right questions.

-She knows her stuff.

-She's been revising. She'll be fine.

-The problem is going from the exam

-to the football pitch.

-That's difficult.

-How much time is left?

-Nine minutes.

-OK.

-I always feel nervous

-for everyone I've taught...

-..but if they've revised,

-it's no problem.

-OK, I've finished.

-Take it away, please.

-My brain is mush.

-But I think I've passed.

-How I did it, I'm not sure, but

-I think I've done enough to pass.

-Waiting for exam results

-always feels long and painful.

-But in the meantime,

-Eleri discusses referees...

-..with former Wales player,

-Robbie Savage.

-Good afternoon, Robbie.

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-Very good.

-Leading up to the Euros, I'm

-learning to be a football referee.

-What advice do you have for me

-to tackle those players...

-..who want to deceive the referee?

-If you make a decision, stick to it.

-Don't be swayed

-by someone getting in your ear.

-Send them off!

-Including the managers?

-Including the managers?

-

-Especially Iwan Roberts!

-It's been lovely speaking to you

-today on BBC Radio Wales.

-Thank you for your time.

-Before the end of the afternoon,

-news from the FAW.

-Has she passed?

-Oh! I've got an email from Alun,

-who taught us on the course.

-He says, "Congratulations.

-"It's a pleasure to inform you

-that you've passed the exam."

-That's a great relief. I did work

-hard but it's a relief to pass.

-The problem is,

-I'm a referee on paper...

-..but I haven't done it in practice.

-That's the bit that's worrying me.

-Football is at the heart

-of the community in Amlwch.

-Games take place throughout

-the weekend - for the main team...

-..the female team, the youth team...

-..and the lions team, a team

-for those with disabilities.

-Originally, Amlwch Town's team

-and the youth teams...

-..were one club.

-Over the years, they have separated.

-Some believe

-they can be brought back together.

-They would like to see one club

-at the heart of the community.

-I think everyone would benefit

-if it was one big club.

-The more people you have

-in one club...

-..it's easier to go for grants

-and to get more helpers.

-Both clubs have probably gone as far

-as they can by themselves.

-I think it would be worth talking to

-see if we can form a relationship...

-..that allows us to move forward

-as a community club.

-In order to show

-that the clubs can be united...

-..the youth team

-has organized a fundraising walk...

-..and invited members from all

-of Amlwch's clubs to join them.

-We've organized a walk

-up Parys Mountain...

-

-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parys_Mountain

-..to get the football clubs

-together.

-We're raising money for the club.

-As you can see,

-there are loads of people here.

-I can see a lot of people

-with money here! Fivers, tenners.

-If you want to put some money

-in the bucket, great!

-Enjoy! Away we go.

-Parys Mountain

-shelters the town of Amlwch.

-Traces of the copper industry

-are evident on its slopes.

-At one time, Amlwch was one

-of Wales' main industrial towns.

-Its population was around 18,000.

-Those days are long gone.

-More recently,

-Wylfa power station...

-..has been one of

-the area's main industries...

-..and one of the main employers.

-But the process of decommissioning

-the site started late last year.

-Many people in the area

-lost their jobs.

-One of those people

-is one of the players, Lisa Morgan.

-It's a big loss.

-There are mixed feelings inside.

-Some want to go, others don't.

-For me,

-Wylfa has been a great place.

-It's not positive for it to be

-closing but it's inevitable.

-I work as a technical clerk.

-In the outside world,

-I'm a secretary.

-I organize and attend meetings,

-take minutes and so on.

-But at the moment, I'm under notice.

-I finish at the end of next month.

-So I'm taking on a big change...

-..and I'm going to retrain to drive

-plant machinery and telehandlers...

-..and things like that.

-There isn't much secretarial work

-around here.

-I just thought I'd do something

-completely different...

-..and I enjoy driving so why not!

-There is hope on the horizon,

-quite literally...

-..because a company called Horizon

-is hoping to build...

-..a new power station

-very close to the old Wylfa site.

-One person who is

-at the centre of that process...

-..is Chairman of Amlwch Town

-Football Club, Greg Evans.

-I came here in 2000

-and was a station director...

-..at the existing

-Wylfa power station...

-..which shut in December last year.

-I've since moved on and am now

-heading up the effort...

-..to build two new reactors

-at the same site.

-The community needs it,

-the island needs it.

-Probably North Wales

-as well as the UK...

-..need this sort of

-energy infrastructure...

-..building up

-over the next 20-30 years.

-With 60-70 years

-of operating life...

-..it takes us

-to the end of the 21st century.

-The jobs, the skills,

-the opportunities it provides...

-..the supply chain

-and involvement in local community.

-All those things will benefit...

-..if we're successful

-in building this thing.

-It's kind of my job

-to help make that happen.

-Sadly, in the meantime...

-..many people are having to leave

-Amlwch to find work.

-One of those people is Adrian Jones.

-After the walk,

-I'll have some lunch...

-..and then I'll travel back

-to Oxford later where I work.

-Paula is used to it now

-and so are the children.

-It's just something we have to do.

-There isn't much work here.

-I've been doing this

-for about three years.

-This is how the town was built.

-A hundred years ago,

-about 10,000 people worked here.

-But now, Octel has closed down.

-Wylfa is closing down.

-

-http://www.octelamlwch.co.uk/

-Hopefully the new Wylfa will come.

-I hope there's a future here for

-those growing up and leaving school.

-Over the last few weeks, training in

-Oxford has been lonely for Adrian.

-But Amlwch is never far

-from his thoughts.

-Amlwch is important to me,

-especially the football.

-Saturday mornings with my boys,

-Saturday afternoons with the lads.

-Then again on Sunday morning

-with the boys...

-..and I'll watch the women play

-on Sunday if they're at home.

-Football is everything to us.

-It's just nice to go back

-every week.

-The working week feels long

-and he misses his family.

-FaceTime is a big help. We FaceTime

-three times a day normally.

-It really helps to see their faces.

-But it's still really hard.

-I play in midfield.

-I might score one or two goals!

-But I do the donkey work more than

-anything and a bit of hard tackling.

-That's what they say. I've had

-a couple of yellow and red cards.

-I'm hoping Eleri Sion

-will leave her cards at home!

-Football

-has always meant everything to me.

-It's another chance

-to put on my boots.

-We have a good gang so I think

-we have a good chance of winning.

-I'm an only child and

-I don't have much family locally.

-I'm also a single parent.

-I've definitely made new friends.

-People in the community

-I knew about...

-..or who I'd say hello to

-in the Co-op.

-For me, it's been similar to what

-the chapel would have done before.

-It's pulled the community together.

-We have a good chat and so on.

-It's made me feel closer

-to the community than before.

-I think we've come together

-brilliantly.

-Everyone has fun.

-I feel I'm probably

-the most unfit...

-..least experienced

-out of everyone.

-Everyone has been very supportive

-and encouraging me.

-I've gained a lot from it.

-I'm so glad I said yes.

-I gave up smoking in the last year.

-It was an incentive for me

-to lose a little bit of weight.

-I also have an 11-year-old son

-who's involved with the club.

-I wanted to show him

-that anything's possible.

-There is a strong community spirit

-in Amlwch.

-The town and its people

-are optimistic about the future.

-They work very hard

-to ensure a future...

-..for the area's industry

-and for football!

-It's fantastic to see

-so many people out this morning.

-Maybe we could organize

-more events like this in future.

-The two clubs could do more together

-and raise money.

-The committees have to choose a kit

-for the new parents' teams.

-Amlwch's committee is clearly aware

-of the area's industrial past.

-What is Amlwch famous for?

-What is Amlwch famous for?

-

-ALL: Copper.

-Can I suggest that copper

-features in the kit?

-What do you think? Do you agree?

-ALL: Yes.

-I'd like to bring the meeting

-to an end. This is the chosen kit.

-It's an old tradition for

-football supporters to eat a pie.

-I wonder how good

-the pies will be...

-..in Amlwch, Ffostrasol,

-Ammanford and Pwllheli?

-.

-The managers have already started

-raising the bar in training.

-With Newtown's Latham Park

-on the horizon...

-..they and their assistants

-have important decisions to make.

-As the date for the finals

-gets nearer...

-..all players

-want to avoid one thing - injury.

-Unfortunately,

-injuries are a part of the game.

-In Ffostrasol, there's a problem.

-I've got cramp.

-I thought the ball had hit the back

-of my leg but apparently it's cramp.

-I must be working too hard!

-But Nia Lloyd-Evans' injury

-is more serious than cramp.

-Unfortunately, I've injured my leg.

-I've got bruising.

-I've torn my calf muscle.

-I can't move much at the moment.

-Iwan and Geth said it was cramp.

-It was very painful.

-I couldn't put much weight on it.

-After training had finished...

-..we went straight to hospital.

-I'll be back.

-There's an injury in the

-Amlwch squad too, for Lisa Morgan.

-Argh!

-Argh!

-My knee.

-So it's a race against time for

-two women to prove their fitness.

-Down the coast to Pwllheli.

-There are no injuries...

-..for Malcolm Allen

-and his busy assistant, Pete Jones.

-Stupid machine.

-I don't have time to have a cuppa

-usually. Here's my diary.

-I'm just flat-out busy.

-Football, work, training,

-work, looking after kids.

-My own, sometimes.

-As well as being Malcolm Allen's

-right-hand man...

-..with the Pwllheli team...

-..Pete and his wife Sioned

-are active in the community.

-We foster children.

-There are always kids in the house.

-Dylan's and Iwan's friends...

-..and our foster children.

-Sioned is a childminder as well.

-There are kids everywhere.

-I don't know which is which!

-It's massively rewarding...

-..if we can put something

-in their lives which helps them.

-It's great.

-They get the opportunity

-to come into a family environment...

-..and see all that we can offer.

-Not just us, but other families too.

-They get the opportunity

-to experience a normal family...

-..if we are that.

-It's nice to see

-the children develop...

-..from when they first come to us

-to a year down the line.

-They've changed a lot by then.

-It's nice

-that we play a part in that.

-As well as being a foster parent

-and working with football...

-..Pete has another job.

-I'm a support worker

-for a local company.

-We work with people

-with learning disabilities...

-..and mental health issues.

-We take them out, help them

-to feed themselves and so on.

-One lad didn't want to do anything

-but we talked about football.

-He liked Man U

-and I liked Liverpool.

-We still have good banter now.

-Football has kept me

-on the straight and narrow.

-It's helped a lot of people

-to come through their problems.

-When you have a problem,

-you go and play football...

-..and forget about your problems.

-It's brilliant to see the parents

-who've been training.

-When their kids play on a Saturday,

-they shout at them.

-But now they know how hard it is...

-..to run around with people shouting

-at you when you can't run any more.

-Hopefully, they'll go back

-to their communities...

-..and teach the things Malcs has

-taught them - most of those things!

-It's an old tradition for fans

-to have a pie during a game.

-How about setting a challenge...

-..for the Codi Gol teams

-to show off their culinary skills?!

-Who better

-to lead the Amlwch club...

-..than Pryd O Ser star

-Owain Tudur Jones?

-You're in good hands.

-I'm a bit of a whizz in the kitchen.

-I don't like to brag

-but I did win Pryd O Ser.

-Follow my lead and we'll be alright.

-Is this

-one of your signature dishes?

-When you're a top chef,

-you can do everything.

-Has anyone made a pie before?

-Has anyone made a pie before?

-

-A shepherd's pie.

-I've only warmed them

-in a microwave.

-I hope Delia's pie

-will be better than a microwave one.

-We'll go for it.

-Pete, we've had plenty of pies

-in our time.

-I've heard that the other clubs

-are baking their own pie.

-Do you know

-where we can get pies from?

-I can't cook,

-but I know where we can get some.

-Let's go!

-In Ammanford,

-they do things a bit differently.

-Everyone knows Bobby Boar by now.

-Wild boar will be the main

-ingredient in Ammanford's dish.

-But it won't be a pie.

-It'll be a pasty

-cooked by Nigel Pasty.

-Pasty, you can't make pasties

-without carrots.

-You forgot them.

-You forgot them.

-

-I don't like carrots.

-Thanks.

-It's emotional

-being back in the kitchen.

-It brings back some good memories

-after my victory.

-Why are you called Pasty?

-I worked down the Vetch in 1978.

-I'd go around the ground

-selling pasties.

-So is it true that you were mugged

-by Newcastle fans?

-They stole your money

-and your pasties?

-Yes, and my pasties.

-I don't like Newcastle.

-Delia would be proud.

-Look at that.

-Does that look like a pasty?!

-No!

-What do you think?

-What do you think?

-

-Great. Excellent.

-The lads will love it.

-Oops!

-Is it supposed to be in our out?

-Cut!

-Ready?

-Ready?

-

-Yes. Proof of the pudding now.

-Open the door.

-Into the oven then, girls.

-Nia and I have been...

-I've been working hard.

-Nia has been great at washing up.

-I'm quite shy. I don't like talking

-about it but I have won Pryd O Ser.

-It was last year.

-I've heard that

-about 50 times today!

-Lovely. Very nice.

-Top class. Top class.

-Look at the size of the pie!

-That would feed the whole team!

-Now, then. Tuck in.

-Do you know what?

-Delia couldn't do any better.

-Delia and I are like this.

-Delia and I are like this.

-

-You've done well.

-Fair play.

-Fair play.

-

-Do you want one?

-One for you.

-Come on.

-Lovely! Fantastic!

-I didn't think

-he could do stuff like this.

-Three clubs

-have made a pie or pasty.

-But what are Malcolm and Pete

-doing in Pwllheli?

-Two pie and chips, please.

-I'm looking forward to this.

-I'm looking forward to this.

-

-Very nice.

-How is the pie?

-Great.

-Great.

-

-Job done.

-The journey continues

-for the Codi Gol clubs.

-But it'll be the end of the road

-for three of the clubs...

-..in the finals in two weeks' time.

-The winning club's journey

-will continue.

-Their prize will be a trip to France

-to face FC Dinard in Brittany.

-Our beautiful city will be the home

-of the Welsh squad during the Euros.

-We hope they stay

-for as long as possible.

-There'll be a welcome

-for Codi Gol too.

-There's plenty at stake.

-All four clubs

-will be vying for victory...

-..the trophy

-and the ticket to France.

-Welcome to Dinard Football Club!
