Rhos Football Club

Rhos maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a hard-earned 1–1 draw against Skewen, combining resilience, discipline and team spirit in a demanding contest.
Liam “Bisto” Thomas gave Rhos the lead with a moment of individual quality, driving in from the left, beating three defenders and finishing calmly past the goalkeeper.
Clear chances were limited after that, but Rhos defended with real commitment and protected the advantage for long periods.
Skewen’s sustained pressure eventually told when a volley from the edge of the area brought them level.
It was another valuable point on the board, with the attitude, discipline and togetherness of the team again standing out.
Man of the Match went to Lewis “Figo” Smith, who put in a tireless display in the middle of the park, covering every inch of the yellow stuff that used to be grass.

Rhos 1sts opened the season with a statement 2-1 win over Bryncoch, overcoming one of the division’s early favourites following their impressive FAW Cup form.

Bryncoch dominated possession for long periods, but Rhos stayed compact, worked tirelessly out of possession and repeatedly forced the visitors into long-range efforts.
On 27 minutes, Rhos took the lead when a save from the Bryncoch keeper deflected the ball onto Lewis Smith’s head before ricocheting into the net, giving the home side a well-earned advantage at the break.

The second half continued in much the same vein until Rhos won a free kick on the edge of the box. Lewis Smith delivered a dangerous low ball into the area which deceived the keeper and bobbled in at the far post to double the lead.

From that point on, it was backs against the wall. Rhos defended bravely, stayed disciplined and managed the closing stages superbly before Bryncoch eventually grabbed a consolation in the 96th minute.

Man of the Match went to ‘Super’ Tom Jenkins, who was outstanding between the sticks, producing a number of crucial saves and commanding his area superbly throughout. But everyone involved deserves huge credit for a disciplined, gutsy and high-energy performance.

A massive three points and the perfect way to start the season. 💙💛

Rhos U11 - Congratulations

Massive well done to Ollie who plays up a year in our U11s who has been selected to play county schools football next season for Afan Nedd U11.

Fantastic achievement and a great reward for all his hard work.

Well done Ollie 👏👏👏

Congratulations - Rocco and Luca

Massive well done to Rocco and Luca from our U11 boys section who has been selected to play FAW academy football next season for Pontardawe town (Rocco) and Briton Ferry (Luca).

This will see them next season play other FAW Academys in a competitive league against Academy’s in the South and North Wales.

Hundreds of boys from across South Wales have trialed to get into the squad so this is a massive achievement for them both.

This does however mean we will lose them from Rhos as the FAW ‘One club rule’ sadly comes into effect, they have both been at the club since they were 5 years old however as a club and coaching team we wish them all the best for the future.

Well done and best wishes lads, go and smash it 💙💛

Rhos U8 - Congratulations

Well done to Ellis who has been retained for Pontardawe town academy for next season.

An excellent goalkeeper in the making and we wish him all the best for the coming season for both Rhos and Pontardawe town.

Well done Elis 👏👏👏
