2025/26 JD Cymru South Team of the Season
Team of the Season nominees
When it comes to goalkeeping options, there is plenty to consider. Luke Martin of Ammanford has been a model of consistency, ever-present across all 30 matches while keeping 14 clean sheets.
Morgan Davies of Cambrian United also impressed, registering 14 clean sheets in one game fewer. However, it is Scott Coughlan of Trefelin who stands out statistically, boasting a return of 17 clean sheets in just 23 appearances.
The full-back positions offer several choices. Cambrian United’s Cam Strinati features alongside Gavin Meacham of Treowen Stars, while George Sheppard of Caerau Ely and Luke Cummings of Carmarthen Town provides further quality options. Newport City’s Richard Noyes and Aberystwyth Town’s Zach McKenzie complete a well-rounded group capable of contributing at both ends of the pitch.
For your centre-back options, Shaun MacDonald of Trefelin is a standout candidate, having earned a nomination for the JD Cymru South Player of the Year award. He is supported by a strong cast that includes Ammanford duo Chris Bell, and Euros Griffiths, as well as Cambrian United pair Jarrad Wright and Kyle Jones. Louis Caramella-Gerrard of Trefelin – part of a defence that only conceded 17 goals – adds further depth to an already competitive selection.
In midfield, the quality on offer makes this one of the toughest calls when it comes to casting your vote. Cambrian United’s Ashley Evans is included, whilst Trefelin trio Callum Saunders, Jasper Jones, and Jordan Davies have been central to their side’s strength throughout the campaign.
Jamie Veale of Pontypridd United adds further quality to an already competitive group, while Marinho Manga of Cardiff Draconians – who enjoyed a respective first season at this level is included – alongside Matt Delaney, scorer of Ammanford’s promotion-winning goal completes a midfield selection.
In the wide positions, Dan John is among the standout names, earning nominations for both Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season, alongside Trefelin’s Lewys Ware.
Elsewhere, Dylan Edwards played a key role in Cambrian’s promotion-winning campaign, while Ethan Edwards impressed in his first season at Pontypridd United. Sam Cawley thrived with the newly promoted Dracs, and Jack Shaw enjoyed a strong campaign with Trethomas Bluebirds, making this another category where picking just one won’t be easy.
Goals win games and often define title-winning and promotion campaigns. Few embody that better than Trefelin’s Luke Bowen, whose 21-goal haul fired his side to the title. He is joined by teammate Tyler Brock.
The competition doesn’t end there, though. Jack Bevan of Llantwit Major has been a consistent threat in front of goal, while Dan Bowen of Cardiff Draconians and Liam Eason of Cambrian United both enjoyed prolific seasons. Liam Thomas of Carmarthen Town also features, rounding off the forward line.
