The Mayor and Mayoress spent a fantastic Saturday afternoon watching Flint Town United FC take on Cardiff Met.
It was an exciting match full of action and plenty of goals, with Flint coming out on top 4–2! 
Thank you to Darryl Williams and everyone at the club for the kind invitation, and for the continuing, valued role Flint Town United plays in our community.
Wishing the team the very best of luck for the rest of the season!
The Mayor, Councillor R. Davies, the Mayoress, Councillor N. Davies and Town Councillors had a fantastic time taking part in the RNLI Charity Match hosted by Oakenholt Bowling Club. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success!
Special thanks go to those who worked so hard organising the food and drinks, to the card markers for their valuable advice 
, and to Steve for creating the beautiful presentation cup. We’re also incredibly grateful to all the players and spectators for your support and great company throughout the day.
It was a truly enjoyable and memorable event — and together we raised an amazing £755.24 for our local RNLI!
The Mayor, Councillor R. Davies, was delighted to be presented with a cheque for just under £250 towards the Weed Busting project set up by the Town Council from PCSO Emma Pugh — a generous grant made possible through the PACT Fund.
PACT (Partners and Communities Together) is a local initiative that brings police, councils, and communities together to identify and tackle issues that matter most to residents. Through this support, we’re able to launch community-driven projects like our upcoming Weed Busting Project, starting later this month.
The funding will help cover essential equipment and printing costs, making a real difference on the ground.
A huge thank you to PCSO Pugh for all her help and support — a great example of us working together for our town!
On Sunday 3rd August, the Mayor, Councillor R. Davies, and Mayoress, Councillor N. Davies, had the pleasure of attending a pre-season friendly match to support Flint Town United Ladies as they took on Haslingden Ladies, a strong side from the English league.
Despite an early goal from the visitors, Flint showed incredible determination, teamwork, and skill, equalising early in the second half and going on to secure a well-deserved 2-1 victory!
It was an exciting and inspiring match, and a true credit to the players, coaching staff, and everyone involved with the club. The quality of football on display was outstanding—and it’s fantastic to see the women’s game thriving right here in our community.
Well done to all involved—you’ve made Flint proud!
