A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Race Night. Whether you came along on the night or supported us by sponsoring races and horses beforehand. We’re thrilled to share that we raised just under £1,000 altogether!

All the winners will be announced throughout the day, so keep an eye out

Lifelong Rhyl supporter James Green brings us his Best XI, shaped by years of loyalty and insight. A former player at Rhyl Academy until age 16, James has been a familiar face home and away since 2012. Alongside Rhyl, his footballing heart also beats for Northampton Town and Arsenal.

Thanks for the message, we will look into this ⚫⚪⚽

We started with 19 players this round, and a huge 11 backed Man City 👀. With City the only ones who won

The real damage came elsewhere

Spurs, Forest & Everton let their backers down, costing 8 players their place this weekend.

Let's see who the Lucky 11 get on this weekend.

Tonight in our "Best XI" series comes from Michael Jones, a familiar face to many around Belle Vue. A loyal supporter for over 40 years, Michael was once part of the Rhyl FC management committee, and during his working years in the graphic design business, he generously volunteered for the club.

Today's Best comes from Rob Batterbee, a proud dad and passionate supporter of grassroots football. Rob is dedicated to educating the next generation, taking his son along to experience the beautiful game first-hand, whether it's cheering on Rhyl or following his beloved Leeds United 🤍🖤💛.

From Port Talbot away days to watching many players at Belle Vue and 7 managers take their place in the Rhyl dugout, Ross has seen it all, and now he’s picked two dream Rhyl XIs that sum up his time as a supporter, as well as some of the opposition that he admired the most

Tonight's best XI comes from Ross Thorpe who is a Rhy lad and been following home and away for the last 12 years. He is the young pup of the supporters trust committee and used to help out on a match day with programmes and social media match updates.

*Matchweek 5 Update*

We're down to THE FINAL 19 with nearly half of our players (14) players eliminated this weekend (6 by defeat, 8 by draws)

A lot of City & Spurs picked so far, let's see how this weekend goes!

A tough final home game, but one that produced a real contender for goal of the season.

Despite the result, the standout moment came from Billy Holmes, who not only gave us that highlight but was also voted Man of the Match by the Trust members. A well-deserved reward for his performance.

A recap of how Last One Standing went last weekend.
33 players looking forward to this weekend.
