Gilfach FC

🟢⚫️ CLUB UPDATE ⚫️🟢

Not the post we ever wanted to be writing, but after a very tough pre season for numbers over the past few weeks, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to fold Gilfach FC.

This club was started by a group of mates, and we happened to find an opportunity to try and keep as many of them together as possible even with no Gilfach. We have done this by merging with Rhymney Football Club allowing us to try and keep as many of the squad together for the next journey, so please follow their socials as thats where all the updates will be going forwards.

We’re proud of what we achieved in such a short space of time: promotion in our first season, some unforgettable matches, and most importantly, building something that meant something to the people involved.

Whether you came to watch, shared a post, sponsored in any way, joined our competitions, kicked a ball, or helped behind the scenes, we appreciate you more than you know. You helped make this club what it was.

This isn’t how we wanted it to end, but thats the beauty of local football. Hope to see all of you follow us on the new challenge with the good bunch already up at Rhymney!

Much love,
Gilfach FC 💚🖤
