The club agonisingly missed out on the title last year after a late defeat to eventual champions Amman United on the final day of the season. But Burry Port wiped that from their memory and came back stronger.
“I don’t think anybody talked about it at all,” explained Thomas. “The boys have stuck together over the last few years. We lost to Amman United in the last 10 minutes in the last game of the season last year [to miss out on the title]. I think the previous year the cup run took its toll as we were playing three days a week for weeks.
“[This year] it looks fairly comfortable but it was only in the last few weeks that we secured the title. Up until then we were second or third with games in hand.”
Burry Port won 20 of their 22 league games but the away victory at Lampeter Town stands out for Morgans.
“They were title contenders, they were leading the league and we beat them,” he said. “I think that was the warning to other clubs that we meant business.”
Looking ahead, Morgans believes the club is in a good position due to the current youth set-up.
“We haven’t gone out and bought players, they are all homegrown,” he added. “The youth have won their league as well and in the junior section we’ve got every age group going.
“We’re trying to buy the club now. We lease the land off the county council so we’re in the process of fundraising £35,000 to buy the lease so we can own the club and develop it.
“So hopefully we’re building for the future in the right way.”
