BERRIEW Football Club has retained its gold standard from the Football Association Wales (FAW).

The standard recognises excellence in junior football provision and coaching with the Talbot Field club remaining Powys’ flag bearers.

Caersws and Llanidloes Town each received a silver award while standard accreditation was earned by Bishops Castle Town, Dyffryn Banw, Forden United, Guilsfield, Knighton Town, Llanfair United, Llanfyllin Town, Montgomery Town, Newtown and Welshpool Town.

Berriew Football Club junior spokesman Paul Inns said: “The award is a reflection on the hard work put in not only by the coaches but also individuals on the committee.”
