As a club, we would like to extend our good wishes to all of our followers - and indeed those of all other teams - as the Coronavirus situation has an increasing impact on our daily lives. We would encourage everyone to follow the guidance that has been issued by the government in order to try to limit the spread of the disease and keep everyone as safe as possible. Public Health Wales has detailed information on their website, which it is updating on a daily basis.

At this time, people who are working to help others - in particular those in the National Health Service - are very much in our thoughts and we admire what you are doing. As some of you may know, a fundraising campaign has been started locally in order to raise money to help Ysbyty Gwynedd’s Intensive Care Unit to provide the best possible support. We would encourage you to support this cause if you can. Here’s a link to more information about it: https://awyrlas.org.uk/ygcv

In the current climate, the fact that there is no football taking place is entirely logical. We are aware that the lack of football is something that many of you have been talking about on social media recently. The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has recently joined with the Welsh mental health charity Hafal to make people aware of what they can do to support their wellbeing at the present time.

For us, as a club, football is about more than just playing in and watching matches. Football is an activity that brings people together, and that can have a positive impact on our local community. Indeed, we’re tremendously grateful to our local community for the support that it has shown us since we were founded last year.

For those of you who have been missing football recently, we’ve put together a list of ten things to watch on the web during this period when football is suspended, and the list is below. Stay safe everyone!

Here's our list of ten things to watch if you're missing football right now:
