Wrexham Supporters’ Association is trying to put a Wrexham fan based in Cape Town in South Africa back in touch with his cousins who are believed to live in the Wrexham area.

Ronnie Edwards, a referee assessor and member of the Cape Town Tygerberg Referee’s Association, is trying to locate his father’s family whom he believes still live in the Wrexham area. Ronnie’s father, the late John Edward Edwards, was born and raised in Wrexham before he emigrated to South Africa to get married just after the Second World War.

John Edwards was the son of the late Emma Sarah Edwards and Samuel Edward Edwards of Wrexham. He had three brothers, Albert George, Cyril Raymond and Leonard Robert Edwards and three sisters, Brenda, Irene and Stella. Ronnie understands that his aunt, Irene, still lives in the Wrexham area and has a daughter called Wendy who is married to Christopher.

Unfortunately Ronnie does not know Wendy and Christopher’s surname, but understands that they have two sons called Steven and Mark. Ronnie would very much like to get back in touch with Irene and his cousins, Steven and Mark. Ronnie still follows Wrexham’s results from South Africa and has just become a member of Wrexham Supporters’ Association.

The Channel will have free-to-view terrestrial coverage on S4C and S4C digital, live from the GPS Stadium, Nicosia, with coverage starting at 4.55pm. S4C will also show extensive highlights of the match at 10.00pm.

Pel-droed Rhyngwladol: Cyprus v Cymru will be available on analogue and all digital platforms in Wales and on Sky 134 in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, with live English subtitles available.

The exclusive broadcasting rights to the Cyprus v Wales match follows the recent announcement of a four-year deal with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) giving S4C the terrestrial television rights to Welsh international and domestic football from the start of the 2008/09 season.

David Collins, Secretary General of the FAW said: “The FAW is delighted that S4C will be showing the Cyprus v Wales live on all its platforms. This shows the continuing commitment of S4C to football in Wales and build on the excellent relationship between our two organisations.”
