Carmarthen Town went up because they had won the league, and rightly so because they were fantastic, but we were holding on to that tiny bit of hope that something might happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe finished level on points with them and only missed out on the title because of goal difference, but it almost feels too good to be true that we\u2019re actually here. We\u2019re all so excited. It feels like a lot of hard work and commitment has gone into this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-19_Taffs-Well-v-Methyr-Town_05-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-19_Taffs-Well-v-Methyr-Town_05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-19_Taffs-Well-v-Methyr-Town_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-19_Taffs-Well-v-Methyr-Town_05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-19_Taffs-Well-v-Methyr-Town_05.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Taffs Well are optimistic about their chances in the Genero Adran South this season<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Promotion has certainly allowed Taffs Well to strengthen over the summer, and it\u2019s not just in the senior team according to Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got quite a few new faces in our squad. A lot of players have shown interest in playing for us, and we\u2019ve welcomed them from a variety of different leagues. Younger talent as well have expressed interest in playing for our U16 and U19 teams who are more than capable of playing for the senior side as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started preseason early, so we are looking good fitness wise. Everyone is in a good position in terms of knowing each other and knowing each other\u2019s style of play. We are in a good place right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the new season rapidly approaches, attention turns to what could be possible in the Genero Adran South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On paper, the league looks incredibly close to call. All eight teams have made plenty of signings, and with the title race going down to the final day last season, anything feels possible this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown is buoyed by how recent newly-promoted sides have been able to survive in their first season and she is optimistic about Taffs Well\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-faw-card card-with-image-bg\"><div class=\"is-layout-constrained wp-block-group is-style-faw-card\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-block-button__link-card\" href=\"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/adran-south\/fixtures-and-results\/\">2025\/26 Fixtures<\/a><div class=\"faw-cards__card__text p-4\"><h2 class=\"is-style-faw-h3 mb-4 faw-text--border\">Genero Adran South<\/h2><div class=\"btn-w-auto wp-block-button \"><div class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" aria-hidden=\"true\">2025\/26 Fixtures<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-faw-card-background_bg\" style=\"background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2025-04-06-Pontypridd-United-v-Llanelli-Town-51-2.jpg);background-position:54% 14.000000000000002%\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYear on year throughout Welsh football, things are getting equally better, and that\u2019s good because you don\u2019t want to see the same teams winning each year. When we\u2019ve spoken as a squad about the league, we think there are obvious front runners but at the same time, we think any team could win it. It makes it exciting but also nerve-wracking. It\u2019s hard coming up and staying up, but we know how high the standard will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the last few years, we\u2019ve seen the likes of Llanelli, Cwmbran Celtic, Penybont thrive in that sort of mid to top table places. It doesn\u2019t make us think anything is possible, but it makes us believe that we are more than capable of challenging for a good position in the league. As long as you put the work in, that\u2019s where you will start to see a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter where the club will finish this season, Brown knows what Genero Adran South football could do this season. Survival will be one thing, but the team see this as an incredible opportunity to grow the club to a whole new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, realistically, staying up is our goal. A mid to top table finish would be fantastic. With the quality of the teams around us we know it\u2019ll be a real challenge, but one we as a squad want to try and aim for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also want to finish the league in a better position than when we started, whether that be through our performances, a bigger squad base, but also inspiring our pathways to show our younger players that they can be at this level. A lot of things to aim for, but we\u2019re hopeful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taffs Well will be making their Genero Adran South debut this season, and it\u2019s a moment many at the club never thought would happen.
