Mochdre Sports management team step down day after making Welsh Cup history
Jason Williams has stepped down as Mochdre Sports manager less than 24 hours after making Welsh Cup history with the team.
On Friday night, the Tier 4 North Wales Coast East Premier Division side played in the third round of the national knockout – the furthest they had ever reached in the competition.
Despite losing 6-0 at Cymru Premier high-flyers Connah’s Quay Nomads, Sports gave a great account of themselves.
By Saturday morning, Williams was no longer Mochdre manager. He contacted chairman Martin Brady to inform him he and his management team of Dylan Evans, Geiff Strauch and Lee Wilson were stepping down.
In a club statement, Brady revealed Anglesey-based Williams was finding it increasingly difficult to balance the time needed to manage the club and his work and family life.
Williams took over at Mochdre Sports before the start of the 2025-26 season.
In his first campaign at the helm, Mochdre lifted the Cookson Cup for the first time and finished fourth in the Premier Division.
This season, Sports progressed through four rounds of the Welsh Cup to make the last 32 for the first time in their existence.
Williams’ match record at Mochdre reads:
Played 45 Won 27 Drawn 4 Lost 14 Win ratio 60%
Chairman Brady said: “Jason made this very difficult decision because of the time the role demands. The regular journey from his home in Gaerwen on Anglesey has made it increasingly difficult to balance managing the team with his work and family life. So we completely understand and respect the decision. Jason puts 200% into his coaching and balancing that with more personal commitments is very difficult to sustain.
“He and his staff leave us with arguably the strongest squad we’ve ever had through bringing together a blend of very experienced players and talented youngsters.
“We’ve got a great future ahead and on behalf of everyone at Mochdre I want to say thank you to Jason, Dylan, Geoff and Lee for the hours you’ve given to this club and the memories you’ve given to our supporters. You will always be very welcome here at Swan Road.”
Development team manager Curtis Leuty will take on management duties until a new first team boss is appointed.
