Who is February 2024’s Club of the Month?
Grassroots North Wales’ Club of the Month for February 2024 fit the bill in every sense of the title.
Wrexham-area Coedpoeth United have emerged unbeaten throughout the month via both their first and reserve teams.
The reserves, managed by Carl Partington, have won four games in a row during February, reaching the Reserve Cup final on the 24th with a 3-0 victory over Caerwys in the semi.
Their squad includes evergreen veteran and captain Kevin Breeze, now 45, and a past star of Cefn Druids in the Welsh Premier League and Brymbo. Breeze was on target in the cup semi-final win last weekend.
During February, in the North East Wales Football League Reserve Division, fourth-place Coedy Reserves also defeated Corwen Reserves 6-1 and Connah’s Quay Town Reserves 5-0, both away, and saw off Lex Reserves 4-2 at home.
Coedpoeth United first team, with Wayne Jones in charge, have also experienced a fine Feb, beating Greenfield 1-0 to reach the semi-finals of the Mike Beech Memorial Trophy, claiming a 2-1 league success at Caerwys and drawing 1-1 at home to Castell Alun Colts.
Coedy are next-to-bottom in the Tier 4 North East Wales League Premier Division, but after a difficult start to the campaign have improved vastly of late.
Six wins and a draw during February for revitalised Coedpoeth United – well done lads!
