Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies is delighted that UEFA and the Football Association of Wales have finally decided to host matches in the Women's U19's football tournament later this year at Haverfordwest. This follows a frustrating couple of months, where the decision to host matches at the Conygar Bridge Meadow Stadium has been changed more than once.
During the period of uncertainty Mr Davies wrote to the Chief Executive of the Welsh Football Association, Mr Jonathan Ford on the matter, and also raised questions on the floor of the Senedd with the then Minister for Housing Regeneration and Heritage, Huw Lewis AM.
Mr Davies said, "I am delighted that UEFA and the FAW have now decided to hold matches in Pembrokeshire. Following further upgrades to the facilities at the Conygar Bridge Meadow Stadium, it is now seen as one of the top stadiums in west Wales. It's fantastic that these facilities will now be showcased during the ladies Under 19s Tournament, later this year. There has been a lot of talk about the importance of building on the Olympic legacy that was created last summer and encouraging high-level sporting events to take place in all areas of Wales. I am pleased that this will now be the case - this is very much a step in the right direction."
