It was a time to celebrate as CPDM Y Felinheli held their end-of-season awards.

Felin won the NEWFA Challenge Cup – their third trophy in as many seasons following a NWCFA Challenge Cup double – and finished third in the Genero Adran North.

They also ended Connah’s Quay Nomads’ three-year grip on the NEWFA Challenge Cup.

Manager Aaron Jones-Evans achieved a good balance of experience and youth within the squad, with performances and results in the second half of the campaign particularly impressive.
