A successive fourth-place finish followed in the 2022\/23 season, but this time there was silverware on the national stage, as the Bluebirds defeated Denbigh Town at Latham Park to lift the Dragon Signs Amateur Trophy for the first time in their history. That would prove to be the catalyst for their promotion-winning 2023\/24 campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trethomas completed a dominant season, tallying 78 points and racking up 100 goals as they finished seven points clear at the top of the table, losing just twice all season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe pushed on again and achieved what we wanted to achieve,\u201d said Dunford. \u201cWe worked hard in the background, we worked hard with the coaching staff and brought in a bit of experience with people like James Saddler and Lee Baldock and managed to keep hold of our key players and we were better equipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe felt last season, it was going to be now or never and I think the Ardal South East last season was especially strong. We had our work cut out and it was an unbelievable achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-20_Cwmbran-Celtic-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_127-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-20_Cwmbran-Celtic-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_127-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-20_Cwmbran-Celtic-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_127-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-20_Cwmbran-Celtic-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_127-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-7-20_Cwmbran-Celtic-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_127.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That momentum has bode the team well, with the Bluebirds maintaining top spot in the JD Cymru South for the opening two months of this season before defeat to Carmarthen Town on Saturday saw them slip to third place. It was only their second loss in 10 league games this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is the secret for Trethomas\u2019 ascendancy into the second tier? Dunford believes Trethomas&#8217; relative success is built around stability and the club\u2019s attention to detail in providing a good player experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe try and attract people into our club by offering a good player experience rather than what resources we can maybe offer,\u201d explains Dunford.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe club and management have stayed the same, the principles and ideas around what we do have stayed the same &#8211; it\u2019s about the players that come in to buy into that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been an evolution around the playing squad, but the stability around the squad has been non-negotiable in all the things we do, our expectations and demands of the players and everything around it has been well-ingrained into our success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019d have asked me where do I think we\u2019ll be after a third of the season, I\u2019d probably would\u2019ve said anywhere around mid-table would be pleasing. The aim when teams come up is usually to stay up because you\u2019ve got to establish yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe league is as strong as it\u2019s been and I speak to other managers, who are established in this division, and they say it\u2019s the strongest Cymru South there\u2019s been for a long time so I\u2019m surprised where we are, but I\u2019m not surprised by what the players have achieved and what they\u2019re doing out on the pitch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cResults and performances have been very good, they can play at this level. Some people are playing at this level for the first time but they\u2019ve taken it in their stride. We\u2019ve put in place what we want to do and try to execute that to the best of our ability and we see where that takes us in game. We\u2019re learning all the time and the players have hit the ground running.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-09-14_Pontypridd-United-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_41-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-09-14_Pontypridd-United-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_41-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-09-14_Pontypridd-United-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_41-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-09-14_Pontypridd-United-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_41-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2024-09-14_Pontypridd-United-v-Trethomas-Bluebirds_41.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While still adapting to life in the second tier, Trethomas\u2019 promising start to the season has raised the question as to whether the club can go a step further, and realise a long-term dream to bring JD Cymru Premier football to Caerphilly County Borough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have applied for Tier One licensing, the FAW have been really supportive,\u201d confirmed Dunford. \u201cWe\u2019re ambitious, the Chairman David Evans and our hard-working committee is ambitious and if we can make things happen we will, but we won\u2019t put ourselves in a position where we can\u2019t back that up and that goes down to our resources and budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re doing what we do to the best of our ability and seeing where it takes us and if come March, we\u2019re four or five points around the leaders or up around there, then the expectation changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t remember the last club from around this area to be in the Cymru Premier. It\u2019s been crying out for it for such a long time. This area deserves Cymru Premier representation.
