The above pictures are of Alyn Park - home of Cymru Alliance side Mold Alexandra - from the local derby at home to Buckley Town. As always this Flintshire derby was keenly contested - Buckley emerging with a 2-0 win.
As can be seen the set-up at Mold Alex is fairly basic with just one side providing cover and a stand with the rest open. It'd hard to believe they were part of the Welsh Premier in its 'League of Wales' early days and since the mid-1990's have fallen some way from the top-flight. They are sometimes better known for the professionals they have produced in the junior teams - Manchester United's Michael Owen to name one.
Recent years have seen them climb back up though - the hard work and dedication of the current committee and playing staff (none of the players are paid anything) has seen them into the top 8 ahead of bigger names in the league. Hopefully they will go on to secure their status in the division - to continue the derby tradition and as a reward for the hard work of everyone at the club.
