Saturdays at 2:30pm
First team
Eighteen games in the valleys league from September to April, nine of them under the hill at Glan Taf. Unpaid, local and worth a fiver.
The first team plays in the valleys league, a level where the striker has been fitting kitchens all week and the left back is a nurse on nights. The football is honest, often good, and sometimes neither. We have played on this ground for more than a century.
Huw Bevan took over as manager five seasons ago, and he has built a squad almost entirely from lads who live within five miles. We train on Tuesdays at seven. If you are over sixteen and think you can play, ring him, because trials are in July and he will always look at somebody in the season.
Admission is on the gate in cash or by card, and a programme is a pound. Bring a coat, as the wind comes down the Taff like it has somewhere to be. The floodlights go on at about four from October onward, and they are worth seeing.
What is involved
- Eighteen league games a season, nine at home
- Cup ties on Tuesday nights as the draw allows
- A printed programme at every home game
- Tea, bacon rolls and pasties from the hut
- The clubhouse open after every home game
What it costs
£5 on the gate, £3 concessions, under-16s free with an adult. Read the rest on the prices table. The fixtures show when we are next at home.
Questions about first team
Can I pay by card?
Yes, Gwyn has a card reader now, and has complained about it since 2022.
Is the ground covered?
There is a short covered stand on the far side, with room for about 150, and a bit of shelter by the hut.
Five pounds, a hot tea and a bit of shouting.
Saturday, Glan Taf Ground, a five-minute walk from Taffs Well station. Under-16s free with an adult. The clubhouse is open after the game, and you do not need to know anybody.
