| Ruthin unhappy over grant aid rejection |

RUTHIN Town are disillusioned with the Welsh Grounds Improvement committee's decision not to grant them any ground aid grant money this season. Brian Griffiths, the chairman of the Huws Gray Alliance outfit, drove to Cardiff to post the application to make sure it arrived before the closing date. But the club say they are disappointed that they have received no acknowledgement of the receipt of their application or no reason why their application was not successful. Griffiths told the Alliance website that the only explanation he has verbally received indicated that the WGI committee did not understand their application. "They only had to ask and we would have explained the application thoroughly, instead they turned the application down without apparently understanding it, why am I not surprised," said Griffiths. "We are led to believe that the FAW are looking to amend the criteria for tier two, but at a meeting in June the Huws Gray Alliance told its clubs that the leagues (North and South) had agreed on items to be included in new criteria. "The league have apparently had no input into a new criteria being put together by the FAW. "We submitted our grant application based on what we were told at the meeting in June, it's very frustrating, not only for the clubs but also for the league," added Griffiths.
