Crymych Football Club has launched a major fundraising campaign to raise £90,000 for the purchase of a new football pitch in the village - leaving a lasting legacy for the area.

The ambitious project aims to provide an accessible pitch for the club near to the clubhouse. The club has two senior team with 90 signed-up players and has a newly formed rapidly growing junior section, which now has over 80 young players.

The football club also has support from community charity PLANED; and the Football Association of Wales in developing the new site.

Since its inception just six years ago, Crymych FC has gone from strength to strength. In 2023, the club achieved a significant milestone by purchasing its own clubhouse at the Crymych Arms Pub, a hub for players, supporters, and the wider community.

To raise the necessary funds, the club is inviting individuals to lend £1,000 over three years at an attractive annual interest rate of 4%. This investment opportunity also comes with the added benefit of 30% tax relief under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), making it a financially rewarding way to support local sports.

By participating, supporters will not only earn a competitive return on their investment but also play a vital role in securing the future of football in the area.

Club Chairman Gary Phillips said: “This is an incredible opportunity for the community to come together and support a project that will benefit generations to come.

“Our junior section has grown exponentially, and having our own pitch will allow us to nurture local talent and provide an additional focal point for the village. We’re offering a win-win situation,” he added.
