A SUMMER League team is simmering as the beginning of the new season fast approaches.

Chef Bryn Williams is backing Llandyrnog for glory ahead of the big kick-off, with the new league season all set to get underway on Monday.

Bryn has supplied his backing by sponsoring the smart new Llandyrnog kit.

In a post on Twitter, Bryn said: "We will be sponsoring our local football team over the next 3 years, all about grassroots football."

A post on Llandyrnog's Twitter account read: "New shirts just arrived today so @Brynwchef of our sponsors @brynskitchen joined us at tonight’s friendly to present a shirt."

Ahead of the friendly at Rhewl, which finished 1-1, Bryn presented the shirt to team manager Jimmy McNally, club president Mally Hughes and vice-chairman Russ Jones.

There was a huge turnout for a special memorial game that took place over the weekend.

On Sunday, people turned out in their hundreds to remember Martin Dyer, who tragically died following a paragliding accident in France last July.

Llangynhafal, the team Mr Dyer played for and managed, played against Rhewl and it turned out to be an entertaining encounter.

Llangynhafal ran out 3-2 winners thanks to a last minute goal, with the match being followed by an evening event at the Drovers Arms, Rhewl, which included a charity auction.

Among the lots were the match-worn gloves worn by Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma during the dramatic Euro 2020 final against England at Wembley.
