                                                 ----------------------------------

August 2011

 

Two wins in local derbies have set Tillery up nicely for the season’s opener against Pontypool United. A 15-3 win against Llanhilleth was followed by an excellent 35-nil victory at Oakdale.

 

                                                 ----------------------------------

Tillery have signed eight players for the new season. In the front row, Dafydd Cripps and Luke Berry come in with hooker Anton Wells. They are joined in the forwards by Adam Morgan in the second row and John Williams in the back row.

 

Behind, Chris Stevens makes a welcome return whilst the club has also enlisted the services of Greg Thomas and Jason Thomas. Daniel Haile has also comes in from the youth/Dragons academy.

 

One bit of bad news is that scrum-half, Ross Paul, who impressed immensely last season, is out for much of the season having sustained cruciate ligament damage in the Trinant 7’s competition.

 

Ashley Bayliss and Ashley Parfitt have transferred out - we thank them greatly for their service and wish them success with their new clubs.

 

                                                 ----------------------------------

 

Tillery kick off the new season with the new coaching staff in place. Darren Miles takes the backs whilst Craig Blunsden is in charge of the forwards. Gareth Pitman remains as team manager.

 

The first match is at home to Pontypool United, who the Green & Whites beat in the penultimate home game of last season.

 

The Youth side has been resurrected with the very welcome return of Mike ’Boxer’ James to the helm and looked very good against Talywain in a pre-season game. Quite a few sons of current and former Tillery players are in the squad, which is excellent news.

 

Pre-season season and senior and youth level has been excellent and all are looking forward to the new season.

                                                 ----------------------------------

 

The new league structure at the end of the next season sees a new Championship division created.

The effect is that there will be two promotion places up for grabs with the best third placed team across the division three structure also being promoted. There will be no relegation from division 3.
