Kerry Reserves seal league title and look ahead to promotion
KERRY Reserves clinched the JT Hughes Montgomeryshire League title with an 8-0 thrashing of derby rivals Abermule Reserves on Friday night.
Ben Davies led the rout with a hat-trick with goals from Jack Carroll, Daryl McWatt, Rhys Humphreys, Cenwyn Bloor-Jones and Liam Williams ensuring the trophy for the Lambs and a miserable end of season for the 10 man hosts.
Manager Aaron Leary said: "It's been a great season overall, the lads have gave it their all this season and to win the double is a fantastic achievement.
"They're a great bunch of lads and I couldn't be more proud of them, they've made my first season back into management really easy.
"Also credit to Forden Reserves for pushing us all the way.
"I got pretty nervous that last couple of weeks with the results they were getting but good to see two young squads doing so well in the league.
"We'll take a break now for a month or so, hopefully bring in a couple of new faces and then back to it to prepare for a bigger challenge in tier four next season."

Wrexham plot transfer for £80k-a-week Wales ace whose Premier League wage was £400
Wrexham plot transfer for £80k-a-week Wales ace whose Premier League wage was £400 Wrexham are said to still be in the hunt for Tottenham and Wales defender Ben Davies, despite the Premier League club triggering a one-year extension in his contract Ben Davies is still understood to be on the radar of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham (Image: Cody Froggatt ) Wrexham's interest in Wales star Ben Davies remains strong despite Tottenham opting to extend the defender's contract, according to reports. The former Swansea City man's deal was set to conclude at the end of June, which would have allowed the 32-year-old to depart on a free transfer from July 1. However, Spurs have decided to prolong his contract by an additional year. Wrexham, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have been strongly associated with a move for Davies following their promotion to the Championship in April. At first glance, the decision to extend his deal appears to be a setback for the North Wales club's hopes of securing him during the summer transfer window. However, the Mail suggests that Davies might still be permitted to exit in the coming months, provided a fair fee is agreed upon. It's been claimed that Tottenham's willingness to let him leave could also hinge on their success in acquiring Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite. Davies is currently the longest-serving player at Spurs, having transferred from Swansea in 2014. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is anticipated to be active in the transfer window as he aims to bolster his squad following the team's third consecutive promotion. Capable of playing both left-back and centre-back roles, Davies would offer versatility and a wealth of experience for the Red Dragons. He has played in 358 matches for Spurs across all competitions, scoring nine times and leading the team as captain on 13 occasions.

Fans can watch the series with a £4.99 monthly plan, or get 12 months for the price of 10 by paying for a year upfront. The defender is nearing a century of caps for Wales at senior level, having donned the national jersey during Euro 2016, Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup. Last year, Davies reflected on his incredible journey since his early days with the Swans, where his first professional contract in 2011 saw him taking home just £400 each week. He divulged details about his initial earnings on ESPN's Gab and Juls Show. "It was £400 a week for playing in the Premier League," said Davies. "The Sun did a bit on their Goals pull-out - the front page of it. There was a picture of me with City's Yaya Toure and our salaries - £400 a week against £240,000 a week. "I was getting messages on Twitter from plumbers saying, 'Come and work for me for a week.' But looking back it was probably a good thing." Davies is now reportedly pocketing around £80,000 weekly at Spurs. Last season, under the since-sacked Ange Postecoglou, he made 28 appearances and is considered a well-liked figure within the team.

The ex-Stoke City boss suggested he should aim to stay at the peak of football for the longest period possible. Pulis told BoyleSports: "To Ben Davies, I'd say that you should stay as high as you could for as long as you can. He's played quite regularly at Spurs this year and he's still in the national team and doing exceptionally well for them. Article continues below "I think Craig Bellamy relies on him quite a bit as well with his experience. So I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to jump out of the Premier League at the moment. "Maybe one day, but not this year, I'd be very, very keen if I was him to have another year at least in the Premier League."
