This disappointing scoreline does not truly reflect the competitive nature of the game between two well matched teams but all credit to barmouth for taking their chances when they came along. The scorer for Bethel was Ian Plemming.

After suffering defeats in their last two games Bethel gladly returned to winning ways in this encounter against a determined Llandudno side.

Barritt Cup Round 3
Bethel 2 - Bethesda Athletic 10
Despite doing well to reach the third round of the cup it was a nightmarish afternoon for the lads at Cae Coed Bolyn against an organised Bethesda. An injury to the dependable keeper, Iolo, meant a forced change to the teamsheet with the manager having to take his place between the posts and ten minutes into the game Ian Plemming (this season’s top scorer for Bethel) leaving the field with an injury. The lads made every effort to retain a pattern to their play but Bethesda realised early on that pressure on the goal would put the defence under the cosh. Two goals from Jamie Whitemore (42/82) proved that the team were still playing with pride and spirit despite a first ten minutes that showed that all the luck was with Bethesda today.
SORER: Jamie Whitemore (42/82)
Saturday, February 9th 2008

Barritt Cup, Round 1
Bethel 6 - Halkyn United 2
A much better performance this week against a team from the Clwyd Premiere League. Bethel’s movement going forward makes them a difficult team to defend against. The pace of Ian Plemming and Jamie Whitmore had the Halkyn defence on the back foot from the first whistle as Irfon Hughes (captain) and Darren Phillips commanded things in defence. But this was a team performance, especially so in the second half with every player on the field for Bethel contributing to the win. As substitute Sion Foulkes, a young man who has played football for Bethel since the age of 5, stepped proudly on to the field for the last ten minutes it seemed a fitting end to a well earned victory.
SCORERS: Darren Phillips, Jamie Whitemore (2), Ian Pleming, Sion Jones and Gavin Jennings.

N.W.C.F.A. Junior Cup 3rd Round
CPD Bethel 1 - Caernarfon Wanderers 2
The Wanderers showed why they are such a difficult team to beat this season by playing with heart and commitment on their visit to Cae Coed Bolyn this Saturday. As attack after attack from Bethel came to nothing, until Jamie Whitemore's clever break and chip to beat the keeper, the Cofis remained determined not to give in. With minutes left to play the Wanderers scored the winning goal to the delight of their travelling support. We wish them well in the next round.

Saturday, September 15th ~ N.W.C.F.A. Junior Cup
Bethel 3 -1 Abergele Rovers
(Adam Cruise –Abergele 2 minutes );Ian Pleming (41,86) Jamie Whitmore(65)
Clwyd 1st Division Champions 06/07 and leaders of the Clwyd Premier League visited Coed Bolyn on Saturday with everyone expecting an entertaining encounter due to Bethel’s great start to the season. Rovers got the ideal start with a goal through Adam Cruise after 2 minutes. This startled Bethel into action and after a ding-dong half hour Chops finally brought Bethel level. The second half was a quality game of football with onlookers given a feast of the very best football at this standard. A second goal from Jamie Whitmore who finished clinically from Chops’ pinpoint cross left Abergele fighting to get back into the game. Several astounding saves from Iolo Roberts ensured that Bethel maintained the lead and when Chops scored on the 86th minute Bethel ended a hard fought tie as deserved winners.

Saturday August 24th
BETHEL 2 BODEDERN 2
A satisfying crowd once more attended Coed Bolyn to see the visitors from Boded challenge our lads’ unbeaten home record. Wave after wave of attack on the Bodedern goal meant that the visitors managed two classic goals on the break from defence to attack. But the visitors could not break Bethel’s spirit and they fought back strongly after conceding the second goal to salvage a draw.The goals for Bethel were scored by Gavin Jennings (17 minute) ac Andrew Gibson (82). Thanks to all who came to support.
Wednesday August 22nd
Bethel 3 Bontnewydd 2
An unusually sunny evening welcomed the visitors, Bontnewydd, to the Coed Bolyn field with everyone expecting an exciting match. No one was disappointed as both teams went hammer and tongs to attack the opposition's goal. No wonder, then, that the game yielded five goals for the supporters with Ian Pleming (2) and Irfon Hughes netting to ensure a deserved win for Bethel after a hotly contested match.
Saturday 11/08/07
Bethel 2 Beaumaris 0
Following the hard work of many during past weeks the field and changing rooms looked highly professional for the senior side’s first home game at Cae Coed Bolyn in the Gwynedd League.
A sizeable crowd turned out to support the village team in their game against Beaumaris Town on Saturday, August 11th, 2007. It was a fiery start to the league for Bethel’s young team but they more than held their own despite Beaumaris’ determination to spoil the celebrations. The defence gave the team a strong platform in which to counter attack and Jamie Whitmore netted after 13 minutes. Following great build up play by the whole team in the second half, Jamie Whitmore scored once more in the 74th minute to ensure the victory for Bethel.
