Milford Youth Matters proud to sponsor Milford Athletic FC U15’s kit
MILFORD Youth Matters is proud to announce its sponsorship of Milford Athletic FC U15’s playing kit for the upcoming season. This initiative marks the latest step in a thriving partnership between the youth-focused organisation and the local football club, reflecting their shared commitment to enriching the lives of young people in the community.
Over the past 18 months, Milford Youth Matters and Milford Athletic have been working closely together to deliver a wide range of events and activities aimed at promoting engagement, personal development, and well-being among local youth. This partnership has become an essential part of the community, with both organisations contributing to the opportunities available for young people in Milford and the surrounding areas.
Milford Youth Matters has long been a driving force behind youth empowerment in Milford. The organisation’s mission is to provide comprehensive support for young people through a variety of programmes, ranging from educational assistance to recreational and sporting activities. It aims to create a nurturing environment where young people can develop the confidence, skills, and social connections they need to thrive.
The sponsorship of Milford Athletic FC U15’s playing kit is a significant symbol of Milford Youth Matters’ broader ethos. The organisation believes that its impact should extend beyond its own direct services, reaching out to support other groups within the community as well.
“We’re delighted to be able to sponsor the team’s kit this season,” a spokesperson for Milford Youth Matters commented. “This partnership reflects our commitment to looking beyond inward investment and finding ways to uplift other local groups and initiatives. By working together, we can make a bigger impact and create more opportunities for young people.”
The relationship between Milford Youth Matters and Milford Athletic FC is a prime example of how local organisations can work together to benefit the wider community. Through this partnership, young footballers are not only given the opportunity to play the sport they love, but also to develop important life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.
At its core, Milford Youth Matters is about building stronger, more resilient communities by investing in young people. The organisation’s ongoing collaboration with Milford Athletic FC is a testament to its belief in the power of sport and community engagement as a means to support personal development.
Beyond the sponsorship of the kit, Milford Youth Matters continues to explore new ways to collaborate with other local groups and organisations. Their work is about more than just providing services; it’s about creating a network of support that benefits everyone involved.
The U15 team’s sponsorship is just one aspect of this. As the season progresses, Milford Athletic FC will undoubtedly feel the backing of a community that is deeply invested in their success, both on and off the field.

Mother admits to killing seven-year-old son in Haverfordwest
A mother has admitted to the manslaughter of her seven-year-old son at their home in Haverfordwest, citing diminished responsibility.
Papaipit Linse, 43, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Friday (Nov 22), where she denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with the death of her son, Louis Linse. Prosecutor Caroline Rees KC confirmed the manslaughter plea would be accepted, stating it “did not come as a surprise” to the prosecution.
The incident occurred on 10 January when police were called to a property on Upper Market Street. Louis was rushed to Withybush General Hospital but tragically died shortly afterwards.
During the hearing, Linse, who spoke only to confirm her name and enter her pleas, was informed that she would be sentenced on 13 December. Judge Paul Thomas KC described the case as “clearly a very sensitive as well as a very tragic case.”
The court was told that Linse is currently receiving treatment at the Caswell Clinic, a mental health facility in Bridgend. Psychiatric evidence is expected to be presented during the sentencing hearing to provide further insight into the circumstances surrounding the case.
