Caersws v Caernarfon
this preview from Welsh-premier site
Quote:
SIXTEEN years' unbroken membership of the Welsh Premier could come to an end if Caersws fail to beat Caernarfon in their final game of the season on Saturday.
The Bluebirds have not been in the relegation zone since November, but hover just two points clear of beleaguered Porthmadog and Llangefni Town.
Both their rivals face difficult "must-win" tasks, Port at home to Rhyl and Cefni away to Port Talbot. But Caersws manager David Taylor does not want to take any chances.
"The lads are confident having drawn the last three games and they know it has to be maximum points against Caernarfon," he says.
"It has been a long, hard season but our destiny remains very much in our own hands so it would be fantastic to get as many fans down as possible this weekend.
"We have improved over the last few games and probably should have won against Neath Athletic. We had the chances but just could not put them away and I felt we had a clear penalty claim rejected."
Chairman Peter Harding added: "Everyone at the club is focused on winning this game and keeping Caersws in the Welsh Premier."

I spoke to Dave Taylor , Caersws manager , at the Caernarfon game on Tuesday. He was just as nervous as the Port fans until Caernarfon scored.
Dave played for Port as a striker some years ago and was top scorer in Europe.
this from wikipedia about Dave's golden shoe
Quote:
Unofficial winners from 1991 to 1996
The Golden Shoe was made unofficial from 1991 to 1996, following a protest from the Cyprus FA where a player allegedly scored 40 goals, though the official top scorers for the season are both listed with 19 goals. Due to this affair, France Football decided to make the competition unofficial until 1996. The top scorer for the 1990–91 season, Darko Pancev, did not receive his award until 2006.[5] It was reinstated in 1996 with different regulations. The "unofficial" Golden Shoe winners, according to the pre-1991 rules, would have been:
