THE football stars of tomorrow continue to make the Mid and North Powys Junior League one of the best such leagues in Wales.
The latest football festival was hosted at Cae Llwyn by Llanfyllin Town Football Club and attracted hundreds of young players along with their coaches and supported by parents and guardians.
The league has been developing young football players for decades with countless graduates making the step from the junior ranks to senior level football over the years.
In more recent years the league has also developed its girls football provision as well as ensuring regular competition in its age grade leagues and cups.

The league also promotes the sport and all its benefits through regular festivals which member clubs alternate in hosting duties.
League chairman Craig Griffiths said: “The league is going from strength and it is wonderful to see the clubs supporting the regular festivals which are so enjoyed by their own youngsters as well as children from other clubs.
“It is a great way for children to come together and play football in a non-competitive environment where fun, fitness and football are the priorities.
“As ever, thanks to each and every single person who contributes to the success of the league.”
The latest festival saw teams from Llanidloes Town, Bishop’s Castle, Caersws, Welshpool Town, Rhayader Town, Berriew, Dyffryn Banw, Knighton Town and Llanfair United join hosts Llanfyllin Town in providing the entertainment.
