I hope that some of the students will develop to play with our Club.”

Lee Tregoning Head of the UWTSD Academy of Sport commented: “We are really pleased to continue to work in partnership with Carmarthen Town AFC, and I’d like to thank Carmarthen Town’s chairman Jeff Thomas for all his help this year.
