It's with great sadness that the Club has learned of the passing of ex player & former 1st team manager Alan Sadler. Alan played in the 80's & managed us from 1990-1994. He was an intelligent & skillful player & led us to the West Wales Cup Final at the Vetch Field in 1991.

Steve Coomey has also smashed a marathon!
What another great example of effort and dedication, Steve has pushed himself throughout, a great bloke and a credit to Dafen Welfare AFC.
Super Steve has clocked up 332km to raise money, giving Mo Farah a run for his money!
