THE VOICE FAW AUTUMN 2011 faw.org.uk

Welcome to the second edition of The Voice. I hope that you enjoyed the first edition and the feed back from the supporters has been very positive indeed. Since the first edition was published we have been very busy on and off the field during the summer months and hopefully that is reflected in the magazine.

Everyone was saddened by the death of the Wales and Cardif City fan Mike Dye on the night of the England Wales game at Wembley in early September. As an association we sent our condolences to his family and friends and his death overshadowed everything else that took place that day.

We also extend our sympathies to the families of the four miners Charles Breslin, Phillip Hill, Garry Jenkins and David Powell who were tragically killed at the Gleision Colliery in September.

The summer proved to be a very busy period with our new FAW vehicle visiting all the major Welsh festivals, the Urdd Eisteddfod in Swansea during the week Swansea City celebrated their magnificent promotion to the Premier League, The Royal Welsh Show in Builth and the National Eisteddfod at Wrexham.Over half a million people had the opportunity to visit the vehicle and our staff.

On the field the result against Montenegro and the performance at Wembley showed everyone that Gary, his coaching staff and players are all moving in the right direction as we prepare for the World Cup qualifiers next year.

Once again I hope you enjoy the content of The Voice and can I thank you for your continued support of Welsh football. I can assure you it is very much appreciated.

Croeso i’r ail rifyn o’r Llais, ac rwy’n mawr obeithio eich bod wedi mwynhau’r rhifyn cyntaf erioed. Yn wir, rydym ni wedi derbyn adborth cadarnhaol iawn gan gefnogwyr. Ers i ni gyhoeddi’r rhifyn cyntaf, rydym ni wedi bod yn brysur iawn, ar y cae ac oddi arno, a gobeithio ein bod wedi llwyddo i adlewyrchu hyn yn y cylchgrawn.

Trist iawn oedd clywed am farwolaeth cefnogwr Cymru a Dinas Caerdydd, Mike Dye, a hynny cyn y gêm rhwng Cymru a Lloegr yn Wembley ddechrau mis Medi. Rydym ni fel Cymdeithas wedi cydymdeimlo â’i deulu a’i ffrindiau ac o ganlyniad i’w farwolaeth, cafodd cysgod ei fwrw dros bopeth arall a ddigwyddodd y diwrnod hwnnw.

Mi rydan ni hefyd am ddangos ein cydymdeimlad â theuluoedd y pedwar glowr, Charles Breslin, Phillip Hill, Garry Jenkins a David Powell gafodd eu lladd yn y ddamwain ym mhwll glo y Gleision ym mis Medi.

Roedd yr haf yn gyfnod prysur iawn i’r Gymdeithas wrth i’n cerbyd newydd sbon ymweld â’r holl wyliau pwysig yng Nghymru gan gynnwys Eisteddfod yr Urdd yn Abertawe (yr un wythnos a llwyddiant arbennig CPD Dinas Abertawe), Sioe Frenhinol Cymru yn Llanelwedd a’r Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yn Wrecsam. Cafodd dros hanner miliwn o bobl y cyfle i ymweld â’r cerbyd a’n staff.

Ar y cae, roedd y canlyniad yn erbyn Montenegro a’r perfformiad yn Wembley yn dangos i bawb bod Gary, ei staff hyfforddi a’r chwaraewyr oll yn symud i’r cyfeiriad cywir wrth i ni baratoi ar gyfer gemau rhagbrofol Cwpan y Byd y flwyddyn nesaf.

Unwaith eto, rwy’n gobeithio y byddwch chi’n mwynhau cynnwys y Llais a hoffwn ddiolch i chi am barhau i gefnogi’ch gwlad a’r gêm.

I hope you enjoy the Second edition of The Voice, an edition that will reflect the fantastic achievement of Swansea City in gaining promotion to the Premier League.

Two Welsh internationals give their views on life in the top division and with Gary Speed in the Welsh set up.

Hopefully some of you were amongst the half a million who had the opportunity of visiting the FAW vehicle at various events and the major festivals during the summer. My particular highlight was the Friday at the National Eisteddfod in Wrexham when Gary Speed announced his squad to face Australia and we invited the children and the parents in to watch proceedings. That is the first time I can recall a press conference ending with applause.

We are always looking to develop ideas for the magazine, soon we will have former players picking their best ever Welsh XI, a ‘Where are they now’ section and a supporters section.

Enjoy the reading and keep supporting Welsh football.

All the best

Dyma obeithio y byddwch chi’n mwynhau’r ail rifyn o’r Llais, rhifyn a fydd yn adlewyrchu llwyddiant anhygoel Dinas Abertawe, sydd bellach yn cystadlu yn Uwch-gynghrair Lloegr.

Yn y rhifyn hwn, mae dau aelod o garfan Cymru yn trafod sut beth yw bywyd yn yr Uwch-gynghrair a chyda Gary Speed yng ngharfan Cymru.

Gobeithio bod rhai ohonoch chi ymhlith yr hanner miliwn o bobl a gafodd y cyfle i ymweld â cherbyd y Gymdeithas mewn amryw ddigwyddiadau a phrif wyliau dros yr haf. Fy uchafbwynt i oedd dydd Gwener olaf yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol lle’r oedd Gary Speed yn bresennol i gyhoeddi ei garfan i wynebu Awstralia. Roedd yn ddigwyddiad gwych, a chafodd y plant a’u rhieni eu gwahodd i ymuno yn y bwrlwm. Dyna’r tro cyntaf i mi gofio gweld cynhadledd i’r wasg yn dod i ben gyda chymeradwyaeth!

Rydym ni wrthi o hyd yn meddwl am syniadau newydd ar gyfer y cylchgrawn. Yn fuan, byddwn yn gofyn i gyn-chwaraewyr ddewis o blith goreuon Cymru i enwi eu tîm gorau erioed. At hynny, byddwn yn cynnwys adran ‘Ble mae nhw nawr?’ ac adran arbennig ar gyfer cefnogwyr.

Mwynhewch y rhifyn hwn a diolch i chi am eich cefnogaeth barhaus a ffyddlon.

Cofion cynnes

August and early September was a busy period for Gary Speed and the Welsh players with three games.

Australia were the first opponents at the Cardiff City Stadium on August the 10th.

The visitors won 2-1 but it was a memorable evening for Darcy Blake who scored his first international goal after coming on as a second half substitute.

Mi fu hi yn fis prysur i Gary Speed a thîm Cymru. Tair gêm ryngwladol mewn llai na mis.

Yn y cyntaf yn Stadiwm Caerdydd colli bu’r hanes mewn gêm gyfeillgar yn erbyn Awstralia. Roedd yna achos i ddathlu i Darcy Blake, yn sgorio ei gôl rhyngwladol gyntaf wedi iddo ddod ymlaen fel eilydd.

It was a great night in the same stadium on September the 2nd. Wales inflicted a first defeat in the European Championship qualifying campaign on Montenegro. An excellent all round performance saw Wales win by two goals to one.

Steve Morrison scored his first international goal and Wales captain Aaron Ramsey finished a fine move for the second.

It was the first win in the campaign and was achieved against a top team with some style.

Yn gynnar ym mis Medi Montenegro oedd yr ymwelywr i Gaerdydd. A chafwyd noson arbennig, perfformiad gwych a chanlyniad positif yn erbyn gwrthwynebwyr oedd ar frîg y grwp a heb golli gêm yn y rowndiau rhagbrofol.

Steve Morrison sgoriodd y gôl gyntaf, y cyntaf iddo ar y llwyfan rhyngwladol, a’r capten Aaron Ramsey yn ychwanegu’r ail wedi symudiad arbennig.

Everyone agreed, Wales should have got a point at Wembley. ‘No longer the whipping boys’, ‘Wales are on the mend’ were just some of the headlines as Wales had England hanging on to the one nil lead at the end. This against a team who are not just expected to qualify but will go into next years finals as one of the favourites.

Ashley Williamsin conversation withIan Gwyn Hughes

TOUGHAT THE TOP

19ONE ON ONE


In 2008 Swansea City paid Stockport County 400 thousand pounds for defender Ashley Williams. And what a bargain that proved to be. The Tamworth born player led the Swans on their Premier League home debut against Wigan Athletic in August, has captained Wales on 4 occassions and won his 28th Welsh cap in the 1-0 defeat against England at Wembley.In October he’ll be hoping for his 29th cap at the Liberty Stadium against Switzerland.

Ashley shared his thoughts with The Voice prior to the 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at the Liberty Stadium, in which the players dedicated the victory to the families of the four miners who died at Gleision Colliery.

IGH Thanks for taking time out to talk to The Voice. The last few months must have been pretty busy.

AW It is a busy life anyhow being a footballer with all the training, the playing and travelling involved especially if you are an international player but the last few months have certainly been very busy since we won promotion to the Premier League.

IGH And all because of a fantastic day out at Wembley in the Spring.

AW After a couple of near misses in terms of reaching the play offs we finally made it last season and that in itself was a terrific achievement. After beating Nottingham Forest in the semi final we knew that if we played to our potential we had a terrific

chance to beat Reading. And ofcourse that proved to be the case. It was a fantastic day at Wembley, thousands of Swansea fans there and of course the win. In a way I don’t think there is a better way to win promotion than in a play off at Wembley. We enjoyed the success, the return trip and the bus tour around Swansea and the reception we received was incredible.

IGH How have you found life in the top flight?

AW As a player you want to play with and against the best and that is certainly the case in the Premier League. As a professional that is what you aspire to and to be able to do it with the Swans has been a bonus.

ASHLEY WILLIAMS CELEBRATES PROMOTION AT WEMBLEY.

V

20 ONE ON ONE


There are a few of us who have been here a while now and that says a lot about the club, the people at the club, the way it is managed both on and off the field and the area.

You think of players like Alan Tate and Leon Brittan who signed when the club were at the foot of the football league and playing at the Vetch. The transformation during such a short space of time has been amazing and they have witnessed the changes both on and off the field.

I think we have adapted quite well and certainly feel we have enough quality in the squad to stay in the Premier League which has to be our aim this season. Off the field as well, there has been a huge interest shown in the club by the press and media but that is settling down a bit now as people from all over the world get to know a bit more about us and Swansea itself.

IGH The fact that you have had to work your way up the league, does that make you appreciate the success even more?

AW I think it does. I know what it is like to be rejected at West Bromwich Albion, I know about playing in the non league with Hednesford Town and to play in the lower leagues with Stockport County. I am now playing in the Premier League and international football and Stockport County are playing in the Blue Square Conference. It just shows what can happen and how quickly it can change.

IGH On the eve of the England Wales game there was a fascinating article about you in the Independent about your life outside of football.

AW It was about the charity that we have created, Willsworld which basically tries to help those in need.

A SEA OF SWANS FANS MAKE WEMBLEY HOME.

21ONE ON ONE

I wanted to give something back to people in Tamworth where I was brought up and of course Swansea.And I am in a position to do so. As I said in the article it started last year when Vanessa, my missus and I spoke about helping kids who would not be going to receive presents at Christmas time. And it has just taken off from there.

A lot of players are involved in work like this but rarely get or really want the publicity for it. Look at Craig Bellamy for example and the work he does with his foundation in Sierre Leone.

As well as that we hold football camps. I had spoken to the current Headmaster of my old High School in Tamworth and he told me about the problems facing the kids today and I thought I could do something about it and that is something I am looking towards continuing when my career as a footballer comes to an end.

IGH So what about Wales? How are you finding life in the Welsh camp under Gary Speed?

AW I qualify for Wales through my mother and find it an honour and privilege to represent Wales. We have’nt had too much success of late but I feel we are turning the corner.I’ve been lucky enough to play for some very good managers who have all taught me something different, whether with Roberto Martinez, Paulo Sousa and now Brendan Rogers at the Swans and with John Toshack, who gave me my Welsh debut and made me Welsh captain.

Gary Speed certainly has the respect of all the players and we were delighted after the Montenegro game that the Welsh public could see that all the hard work in training was at last paying off. We knew that we were a better group of players than results were showing and the performance at Wembley certainly proved that. We need to build on those games now against both Switzerland and then Bulgaria.

IGH And the aim has to be qualification in the next tournament?

AW Definately. I think it really is achievable. We have some of the best young players in Europe in our squad and the last two games have made a mockery of the FIFA rankings proving we can compete with the top twenty countries in the world so why can’t we be up there with the best? Slowly but surely we are coming to terms with what the manager and his coaches are putting together and we will be prepared for the next qualifying campaign for Brazil in 2014.

IGH Thanks for your thoughts Ashley, it’s been an eventful few years to say the least.

AW You know with the work I do off the field I hope it gives people hope, with regards to achieving their ambitions.

I have been fortunate enough to play in the Premier League, playing at some of the best football stadiums in the world with Swansea City, in the past 4 months I have played twice at Wembley. To stay in the Premier League with the Swans and to qualify for a World Cup with Wales. That would be brilliant.

RECORD AUDIENCES FOR A TOP QUALITY SPORT EVENT

The Women’s World Cup 2011 in Germany was a great success story and strengthened the rapid development of women’s football all over the world. The high quality of the football was acknowledged globally and excellent organisation by the host nation left participating teams and the audience inspired. Germany used the same venues and same standards as during the men’s World Cup 2006 and hosted an unforgettable football festival. This event raised standards to a new level.

The tournament set a new benchmark for the women’s game after viewers around the world tuned in and smashed several TV audience records along the way. The four games featuring the German team all gained average audiences of more than 14

million, with their final three matches attracting averages of over 16 million viewers nationwide – by far the highest audiences on record for FIFA Women’s World Cup matches in Germany.

The majority of the Wales female national team players have an amateur status yet they are training and preparing like professionals spending practically all their spare time to be top athletes. It means that to be available for the national team activities women have to spend their holidays or take unpaid leave to represent Wales, their country. To ease that situation is one of the priorities. I think it calls for all the sport authorities to co-operate to give our ambitious female top players a fair chance to compete in the future on equal terms to the other European countries.

WALES WOMEN’S NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS HAVE A BUSY AUTUMNAutumn is a busy qualification time for the Wales Women national teams. We opened the qualification at home on 17.9. against the Republic of Ireland at Spytty Park in Newport.We were unlucky as we lost by two goals to nil.

The extremely hard group has us playing in October a double header against France (home 22.10.) and Scotland (away 27.10) and finish this year with Israel away.

The youth national teams and the women’s under 17 travel to Moldova in October and WU19 play in Iceland in September. Both teams are looking to qualify to the Elite round though specifically with WU17 it is very

difficult. In the younger age group only the group winner is guaranteed a place in the second round when with the WU19 the runner up will also qualify.

The Wales Women’s Premier League starts its third year and double champions Swansea City Ladies represented Wales in the Women’s Champions League qualification in Cyprus in August.

Women’s football in Wales is best seen live as football always is. It is the fastest growing sport in the world and in Wales.

CWPAN Y BYD MERCHED FIFA 2011 YN YR ALMAEN – CYSTADLEUAETH O SAFON RYNGWLADOLRoedd Cwpan y Byd 2011 yn yr Almaen yn llwyddiant ysgubol a lwyddodd i gryfhau datblygiad parhaus pêl-droed merched ledled y byd. Defnyddiodd yr Almaen yr un lleoliadau a ddefnyddiwyd ar gyfer Cwpan y Byd 2006, gan gynnal gwledd o bêl-droed i’w chofio a gosod y safon ar gyfer cystadlaethau’r dyfodol.

Llwyddodd Japan i drechu’r ffefrynnau, yr Almaen, yn rownd yr wyth olaf cyn mynd ymlaen i guro Sweden yn y rownd gynderfynol. Dyna osod y llwyfan ar gyfer un o’r Rowndiau Terfynol gorau erioed mewn cystadleuaeth o’r fath, rhwng Japan ac UDA. Yn y pen draw, rhaid oedd troi at giciau o’r smotyn i benderfynu ar y mater, gyda Japan yn

fuddugol ac yn cael eu coroni yn Bencampwyr y Byd.

Er nad aeth y tîm cartref yn bellach na rownd yr wyth olaf, parhau a wnaeth y diddordeb yn y gystadleuaeth. Roedd y gemau yn dal i gael eu chwarae ger bron torfeydd enfawr, gan sicrhau awyrgylch trydanol o un stadiwm i’r llall.

Llwyddodd y gystadleuaeth i osod y safon ar gyfer y gêm gan lwyddo i ddenu gwylwyr o bedwar ban byd. Yn wir, cafodd sawl record o ran maint cynulleidfaoedd teledu eu chwalu. Llwyddodd pedair gêm yr Almaen i ddenu cynulleidfaoedd cyfartalog o fwy na 14 miliwn, gyda’u tair gêm olaf yn denu 16 miliwn o wylwyr ledled y wlad – y gynulleidfa fwyaf o bell ffordd i wylio gemau Cwpan y Byd Merched FIFA yn yr Almaen.

HYDREF PRYSUR IAWN I DIMAU PÊL-DROED MERCHED CYMRU

Mae’r hydref yn dymor prysur iawn i dimau cenedlaethol merched Cymru. Ar ôl chwarae’r olaf o’u gemau paratoadol yn erbyn Gogledd Iwerddon ym mis Awst, roedd tîm Merched Cymru yn wynebu’r cyntaf o’u gemau rhagbrofol ar gyfer Pencampwriaeth Ewrop UEFA yn erbyn Gweriniaeth Iwerddon ar 17 Medi. Colli oedd yr hanes yn anlwcus yng Nghasnewydd o ddwy i ddim.

Mewn grŵp arbennig o anodd, bydd Cymru yna’n chwarae dwy gêm galed ym mis Hydref, gan wynebu Ffrainc gartref ar 22 Hydref a’r Alban oddi cartref ar 27 Hydref cyn gorffen y flwyddyn yn erbyn Israel oddi cartref ar 20 Tachwedd.

Yn y cyfamser, bydd timau ifanc Cymru yn cystadlu yn rownd gyntaf gemau rhagbrofol Ewrop. Bydd

Merched Dan 17 Cymru yn teithio i Foldofa ym mis Hydref a’r Tîm Dan 19 yn chwarae yng Ngwlad yr Iâ fis Medi. Mae’r ddau dîm yn gobeithio ennill eu lle yn y rownd Elît, ond bydd hyn yn dipyn anoddach i’r tîm Dan 17 gan mai enillydd y grŵp yn unig sy’n sicr o symud i’r ail rownd.

Mae Uwch-gynghrair Merched Cymru ar drothwy ei thrydedd flwyddyn ac mae Merched Dinas Abertawe, sydd wedi ennill y Bencampwriaeth ddwywaith, yn cynrychioli Cymru yn rowndiau rhagbrofol Cynghrair y Pencampwyr yng Nghyprys ym mis Awst.

Mae hi’n gyfnod cyffrous i bêl-droed merched, ac mae’r gêm yn tyfu’n gyflymach na’r un gamp arall yng Nghymru a thu hwnt. Felly dyma edrych ymlaen at ddyfodol disglair iawn.

IGH Diolch am dy amser. Mae gennyt ti reswm da dros hyrwyddo’r strategaeth yma.

JA Dim problem. Oes mae fy mrawd Harry yn fyddar ac mae o wedi chwarae pêl-droed i dîm byddar ffwtsal Cymru. Dwi’n gwybod yn iawn felly be mae pêl-droed wedi ei roi iddo o ran cyfle nid yn unig i chwarae’r gêm, ond hefyd o ran cyfarfod bobl a datblygu sgiliau a hyder. Dwi hefyd yn ymwybodol o ba mor bwysig yw’r gwaith a’r gefnogaeth mae Neil Ward a’r Ymddiriedolaeth yn ei wneud led led Cymru wrth ddatblygu’r cynllun yma.

IGH Ti’n brysur gyda phopeth o ran y wasg a’r cyfryngau.

JA Ydw. Ti di fy holi sawl tro dros y blynyddoedd ac wrth gwrs gan fy mod i yn siarad Cymraeg mae galw mawr wedi bod amdanai erioed ers imi ymddangos yn y tîm cyntaf, wedyn mynd i chwarae dros Gymru a rwan wrth gwrs gan fy mod i yn chwarae i dîm sydd yn yr Uwch Gynghrair yn Lloegr.

Ar un adeg yn Abertawe roeddwn ni yn rhannu’r baich, na nid y baich y cyfrifodeb gydag Owain Tudur Jones ond unwaith aeth Owain i Norwich fi oedd yn cael fy holi cyn ac ar ôl gemau. Mae o yr un peth i sawl un o’r

bechgyn, Angel Rangel ac yn y blaen yn y Sbaeneg ac roedd Dorus (de Vries) o’r Iseldiroedd yn cael ei holi byth a beunydd.

IGH Ti dal yn ifanc iawn, ti’n chwarae yn yr Uwch Gynghrair ac yn chwarae dros dy wlad.

JA Pan ti’n eistedd i lawr a meddwl am y peth mae llawer iawn wedi digwydd imi mewn cyfnod byr. Yn cael cyfle yn adran un, yna yn y bencampwriaeth a rwan y lefel uchaf o ran pêl-droed yn Lloegr. Dwi wedi cynrychioli fy ngwlad ac wedi bod i Wembley ddwywaith, unwaith gydag Abertawe ac unwaith gyda Chymru.

GORAU

28 HOLI AC ATEB


IGH Sut mae pethau yn yr Uwch Gynghrair?

JA Wel dyma ble mae bob pêl droediwr eisiau chwarae. Ac i feddwl fy mod i yn cael y cyfle yna gydag Abertawe yn anhygoel a dweud y gwir. Na’i byth anghofio y diwrnod yna yn Wembley yn curo Reading ac yna y dathliadau wedyn.

Dyw hi ddim wedi bod yn hawdd.Mi rydan ni yn chwarae yn erbyn rhai o glybiau mwyaf Ewrop, rhai o chwaraewyr gorau’r byd ond dwi, gweddill y garfan a’r rheolwr Brendan Rodgers yn hyderus y byddan ni yn aros i fyny ddiwedd y tymor.

IGH Beth am y gwaith mae Brendan Rodgers wedi ei wneud?

JA Mewn gair gwych. Efallai ei fod o wedi ennill dyrchafiad yn gynt na’r disgwyl yn ei dymor cyntaf gyda’r clwb. Wedi dweud hynny mi roedden ni yn dîm da. Mi roedd safon y pêl-droed yn uchel iawn o dan Roberto Martinez, mi ddaethon ni yn fwy anodd i’n curo o dan Paolo Sousa.Felly dwi’n credu mae cyfuniad o’r ddau oedd cyfrinach ein llwyddiant ni y tymor diwethaf. A natur y clwb a’r garfan.

Mae o yn glwb cartrefol, yn glwb teuluol, yn glwb lleol a does dim llawer o rheini o gwmpas y dyddiau hyn yn enwedig ar y lefel uchaf.

Mi rydan ni yn sefydlog oddi ar y cae ac mae hynny yn cael ei drosglwyddo i’r cae hefyd. Dwi di bod yma ers y dechrau a mae chwaraewyr fel Alan Tate a Leon Britton. Dwi’n gwybod aeth Leon i Sheffield United ond mae’r ddau yn cofio y Vetch a’r dyddiau du o fod ar waelod yr holl gynghrair yn Lloegr a chwarae yn yr adrannau is.

Mae ‘r rheolwr wedi dilyn egwyddorion y clwb ac mae hynny wedi talu ar ei ganfed. Dwi’n siwr fod o wedi teimlo fod ganddo rywbeth i’w brofi i bobl wedi beth ddigwyddodd iddo yn Reading. Yn sicr mae o wedi gwneud hynny.

IGH Dwi wedi siarad gyda rhai o dy gyn athrawon a mae nhw yn deud y byddet ti fod wedi gallu dilyn llwybr gwahanol.

JA Mae nhw yn bod yn garedig. Ti di bod yn siarad gyda Mike Davies, cyn athro imi, cyn bêl droediwr ei hun a sydd hefyd yn gweithio ar y rhaglen Sgorio. Dwi’n credu imi wneud yn dda yn yr ysgol ac efallai y bydden ni wedi ystyried mynd ymlaen i Brifysgol ag ati ond pêl droediwr oeddwn ni eisiau bod. Mi rydwi wedi bod digon ffodus i wireddu’r freuddwyd gyda gwaith caled a dipyn o lwc, mae pawb angen dipyn o lwc yn y gêm yma gan ei bod hi mor gystadleuol.

IGH Son am fod yn gystadleuol mae yna gryn gystadleuaeth o fewn y clwb ac ar y lefel rhyngwladol o ran ganol cae.

JA Oes. Fel unigolyn mae un yn teimlo fod o eisiau chwarae pob gêm ond wrth gwrs dyw hynny ddim yn bosib. A y rheolwr sydd yn gorfod gwneud y penderfyniad pa un ai yn Brendan Rodgers neu Gary Speed. Mae pob pêl droediwr yn siomedig osnad ydio yn chwarae ar Ddydd

‘Na’i byth anghofio y diwrnod yna yn Wembley yn curo Reading ac yna y dathliadau wedyn. Y golygfeydd ar strydoedd Abertawe pan ddaeth miloedd allan i’n croesawu ni yn ôl.’


Sadwrn neu ganol wythnos. Ond pan mae’r cyfle yn dod mae’n rhaid bachu a manteisio ar y cyfle fel ei bod hi bron yn amhosib i’r rheolwr beidio chwarae fi yn y gêm nesaf. Dwi’n ifanc, dwi dal yn dysgu a dwi newydd ddechrau chwarae yn yr Uwch Gynghrair a mae bod yn siomedig weithiau yn rhan o’r broses o ddysgu

IGH Be am Gymru rwan? Ti yn aelod cyson o’r garfan ond nid o’r tim eto.

JA Mae canol cae Cymru yn gryf yndiwe. Ti’n edrych ar chwaraewyr fel Aaron Ramsey, Joe Ledley, Gareth Bale, Jack Collison chwaraeodd yn erbyn Lloegr yn Wembley.

Mae hynny yn ganol cae cryf ar y naw.Wedyn mae yna chwaraewyr fel David Vaughan, Andy King, David Edwards ac Andrew Crofts.

Mae’r gystadleuaeth yn ffyrnig ond y mwyaf o gemau mi wnai chwarae yn yr Uwch Gynghrair mi fydd hynny o gymorth imi.

Mae yna ysbryd arbennig ar hyn o bryd yn enwedig wedi’r ddwy gêm diwethaf yn erbyn Montenegro a’r perfformiad yn Wembley ble dylen ni fod wedi ennill. Mae’r ddwy gêm nesaf yn bwysig, yn erbyn Y Swistir ar y Liberty ac yna yn Bwlgaria.

Roedd yna lawer o sôn am botensial y tîm pan roedd John Toshack yn reolwr. Mi fyddai bob tro’n ddiolchgar iddo am roi fy nghap cyntaf imi yn erbyn Yr Alban yng Nghaerdydd a dwi’n credu y bydd Gary Speed yn elwa o hynny.Gobeithio’n wir.

IGH Bron dwy awr ers iti ddechrau ar dy gyfweliadau teledu a radio, ti’n haeddu cael mynd rwan. Diolch am dy amser Joe.

Roedd Joe yn sgwrsio gyda Y Llais cyn y gêm yn erbyn West Browmich Albion pan ennillodd Abertawe o 3-0 a chyn y gêm talwyd teyrnged i’r pedwar glowr bu farw yn mhwll glo Gleision.

‘Mae’r gystadleuaeth yn ffyrnig ond y mwyaf o gemau mi wnai chwarae yn yr Uwch Gynghrair mi fydd hynny o gymorth imi’

Mae hen ddigon o bobol yn hen ddigon parod i feirniadu heb boeni am y ffeithiau. Pregethu heb brofi’r gwirionedd. A dyna’n union sy’n digwydd gydag Uwch Gynghrair Cymru. Mae llawer yn diystyru’r gynghrair fel casgliad o glybiau amaturaidd – chwaraewyr ceiniog a dime sy’n hacio a chicio ar gaeau parc – gydag un dyn a’i gi yn gwylio.

Mae pethau yn newid, gyfeillion – ac yn newid yn gyflym hefyd.

Mae Uwch Gynghrair Cymru yn aeddfedu. Dyma’r ugeinfed tymor – ac mae ein cynghrair cenedlaethol wedi gadael yr arddegau gan ddechrau cyfnod newydd, cyffrous yn eu hanes. Er yn ifanc – dyw’r gynghrair ddim yn blentyndod bellach – ac er bod angen mwy o amser cyn cyrraedd ei llawn dwf – mae’r gynghrair yn dechrau gwireddu’r potensial amlwg – ac yn teimlo dipyn mwy hyderus ynddi eu hun.

Mae yna llai o glybiau nag erioed o’r blaen bellach - ond mae’r safon wedi cynyddu. Mae’r enwau cyfarwydd wedi cynyddu hefyd – wrth i chwaraewyr na fyddai wedi ystyried Uwch Gynghrair Cymru gael eu denu i’r deuddeg disglair.

Ac mae’r deuddeg yn ddiddorol yn eu hun. O newid nifer y clybiau roedd angen newid y patrwm er mwyn ceisio sicrhau tymor sy’n parhau tu hwnt i’r ‘doli! Roedd yr ateb yn un dadleuol – torri’r gynghrair yn ddwy ar ôl i bawb gwrdd ddwywaith – gan adael y chwech uchaf a’r chwe gwaelod i ddadlau ymysg ei gilydd am weddill y tymor. Y peryg oed y byddai’r tymor yn gorffen yn gynnar i rai clybiau yng nghanol y tabl – ond does dim shwt beth a chyffredinedd canol y gynghrair (mid table mediocrity?) diolch i’r gemau ail gyfle.

Mae’r system yn rhoi’r cyfle i’r clwb sy’n gorffen ar frig y chwe gwaelod gystadlu am y lle olaf yn Ewrop yn erbyn rhai o glybiau’r chwech uchaf – ac ar ôl y tymor cyntaf does dim amheuaeth bod y system arloesol yn gweithio. Mae yna gyffro ym mhob gem (bron!) reit hyd ddiwedd y tymor – a thu hwnt.

Dyw pethau ddim yn berffaith – does neb yn honni hynny. Ond mae angen sylweddoli bod ‘na gamau mawr wedi eu cymryd yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Mae’r gynghrair yn parhau i fod yn gymharol ifanc – er allan o’r arddegau mae’n parhau i ddioddef o’r acne a’r ansicrwydd sy’n gyfarwydd ymysg glaslanciau. Ond mae yna aeddfedrwydd yn dechrau ymddangos – sy’n awgrymu dyfodol disglair.

A summer break! No chance. The summer proved to be one of the busiest in the history of the FAW. We visited events and the festivals around Wales and over half a million people had the chance to see our new vehicle.

There was an opportunity to discuss football with members of staff, to share experiences and to voice concerns. Gary Speed, Brian Flynn, Jarmo Matikainen and Gwenan Harries all took part along with other members of the FAW’s staff.

All in all the travelling Roadshow proved to be a roaring success and we are already planning ahead for future events and festivals throughout Wales.

National Eisteddfod August 5

Welsh Manager Gary Speed caused huge excitement amongst nearly 20,000 visitors to the National Eisteddfod field in Wrexham. Speed was announcing his squad for the Vaxhaull Friendly International against Australia in Cardiff.

The public joined in with the press and media and at the end the Welsh Manager received a round of applause. Visiting the ‘maes’ for the first time, Speed admitted he was delighted to be present and was really impressed with the buzz around the event. He also took part in a coaching session and met with members of the Wrexham Supporters Trust. Several hundred youngsters had a day to remember as Gary signed autographs and posed for pictures, and chatted to equally excited parents. It was a memorable day for all.

AIM

The aim of the FAW Fair Play Award is to encourage a reduction in on-field misconduct and promote the FAW Fair Play Code. The FAW Fair Play Code is to inspire players, clubs and supporters to take an active role in promoting its message.

The FAW, players and their clubs have a duty to raise awareness of the Fair Play message for the good of Welsh football as we all have a collective responsibility for the image of the game. Full details of the FAW Fair Play Code can be found at www.faw.org.uk

The good name of football has survived because the vast majority of people who love the game are honest and fair. Those who defend football’s good reputation deserve the recognition of the FAW.

As a result the FAW will honour and publicise these fine examples through the Fair Play Award.

The FAW will reward clubs who are making a significant contribution to improving the behavioural standards in football. Through such collective responsibility the FAW aims to promote team play through Fair Play.

MEASUREMENT

The FAW produces monthly Discipline Tables for the Directly Affiliated Leagues, which details and compares a club’s on-field disciplinary record within their league.

The FAW Discipline Tables will form the basic measurement of the FAW Fair Play Award. Clubs who demonstrate fair play on the pitch will have the best chance of winning the award.

As the FAW wants to encourage player, club and fan involvement in order to deliver the FAW Fair Play message, other factors will also be considered before selecting the award winners.



Those clubs who actively take part in delivering the message of Fair Play will also see their efforts count towards being a potential award winner. It will be the duty of the club to evidence such efforts to the FAW.

Examples of player, club and supporter involvement can include displaying the FAW Fair Play message and logo on your website, in your match programmes and drawing attention to it on the day of a game.

Clubs may also wish to take part in schemes such as ‘Show Racism the Red Card’, who have given their backing to the FAW Fair Play Code. Contact details for Show Racism the Red Card are detailed in this publication (see pages 52-55).

Essentially, Fair Play is something that the players, clubs and fans should ‘own’. It is the responsibility of each to ensure that they spread the message of Fair Play and exemplify their good work to the FAW.

There will be a dedicated page on the FAW website for Fair Play, where we will highlight the work that the clubs are doing throughout the season. The Voice, the new FAW magazine, will also be utilised to promote the FAW Fair Play Award and those clubs who are being proactive. The FAW’s social networking sites will also be used to exemplify a club’s good work.

This will provide positive exposure for those clubs and encourage others to embrace Fair Play and provide the FAW with examples of their work helping us to select the winners of the FAW Fair Play Award.

PRIZES

There will be a FAW Fair Play Award winner in each division of the Directly Affiliated Leagues. Each winner, regardless of level in the pyramid, shall receive a monetary incentive worth £1,000. This prize money is to go towards equipment or ground improvements, for example. The winning clubs must provide the FAW with an invoice or quotation for the equipment or work etc. to be carried out.

Each winning club shall also be presented with a FAW Fair Play Award trophy, which shall detail the FAW Fair Play logo along with the name of the club and season. We shall also provide the clubs with a FAW Fair Play winner’s logo that can be displayed, for example, on their match programme and website. The winning clubs will also have an option to display a FAW Fair Play winners badge on their kit for the following season.

As we believe in Fair Play, and taking a proactive role in reducing on-field misconduct, the FAW is encouraging, incentivising and rewarding good behaviour.

NOD

Datblygwyd Gwobrau Chwarae Teg CBDC i leihau lefel y camymddwyn ar y cae a hyrwyddo Cod Chwarae Teg CBDC.

Mae CBDC, y chwaraewyr a’u clybiau yn gyfrifol am godi ymwybyddiaeth o’r neges Chwarae Teg, a hynny er budd pêl-droed yng Nghymru.

Mae enw da’r gêm wedi goroesi gan fod y rhan fwyaf o bobl sy’n meddwl y byd ohoni yn onest ac yn deg. Mae’r rheiny sy’n amddiffyn enw da pêl-droed yn haeddu cydnabyddiaeth CBDC.

O ganlyniad, bydd CBDC yn anrhydeddu ac yn tynnu sylw at yr enghreifftiau arbennig hyn drwy gyfrwng y Gwobrau Chwarae Teg.

Bydd CBDC yn gwobrwyo clybiau sy’n cyfrannu’n sylweddol at wella safonau ymddygiad ym myd pêl-droed.

Drwy feithrin cyfrifoldeb ar y cyd, mae CBDC yn gobeithio y bydd timau’n chwarae’n dda drwy Chwarae’n Deg.

LLINYN MESUR

Bob mis, mae CBDC yn cynhyrchu Tablau Disgyblaeth ar gyfer y Cynghreiriau Cysylltiedig, sy’n nodi manylion disgyblaeth clybiau a’u cymharu â chlybiau eraill o fewn y gynghrair.

Tablau Disgyblaeth CBDC fydd y llinyn mesur ar gyfer Gwobrau Chwarae Teg CBDC. Y clybiau hynny sy’n arddangos chwarae teg ar y cae sydd â’r cyfle gorau o ennill y wobr.

Gan fod CBDC am annog chwaraewyr, clybiau a chefnogwyr i gymryd rhan er mwyn lledaenu neges Chwarae Teg CBDC, bydd ffactorau eraill hefyd yn cael eu hystyried cyn dewis yr enillwyr.

Bydd ymdrechion y clybiau hynny sy’n mynd ati i ledaenu neges Chwarae Teg hefyd yn rhoi hwb i’w cyfle i ennill y wobr. Bydd angen i’r clwb gyflwyno tystiolaeth ger bron CBDC i ddangos ymdrechion o’r fath.

ˆ



Mae enghreifftiau o gyfraniad chwaraewyr, clybiau neu gefnogwyr yn gallu cynnwys arddangos neges a logo Chwarae Teg CBDC ar eich gwefan, yn eich rhaglenni a thrwy dynnu sylw atynt ar ddiwrnod y gêm.

Gall clybiau hefyd gymryd rhan mewn cynlluniau megis ‘Dangos y Cerdyn Coch i Hiliaeth’, sy’n cefnogi Cod Chwarae Teg CBDC. Mae manylion cyswllt cynllun ‘Dangos y Cerdyn Coch i Hiliaeth’ wedi’u nodi yn y ddogfen hon.

Mae’n hanfodol bod Chwarae Teg yn rhywbeth y mae chwaraewyr, clybiau a chefnogwyr yn ‘berchen’ arno. Mae pawb yn gyfrifol am sicrhau eu bod yn lledaenu neges Chwarae Teg ac yn dangos eu gwaith da i CBDC.

Byddwn yn cyflwyno tudalen ‘Chwarae Teg’ arbennig ar wefan CBDC maes o law er mwyn tynnu sylw at y gwaith y mae clybiau’n ei wneud drwy gydol y tymor. Byddwn hefyd yn defnyddio Y Llais, cylchgrawn newydd CBDC, i hyrwyddo Gwobrau Chwarae Teg CBDC a’r clybiau rhagweithiol hynny. Byddwn hefyd yn manteisio ar wefannau rhwydweithio cymdeithasol CBDC i dynnu sylw at waith da’r clybiau.

Drwy wneud hyn, bydd yn rhoi sylw cadarnhaol i’r clybiau hynny ac yn annog eraill i gyflwyno Chwarae Teg a darparu enghreifftiau o’u gwaith i CBDC er mwyn ein helpu i ddewis enillwyr Gwobrau Chwarae Teg CBDC.

GWOBRAU

Bydd un tîm ym mhob Cynghrair Cysylltiedig yn ennill Gwobr Chwarae Teg CBDC. Bydd pob enillydd, waeth pa ran o’r pyramid y mae’n rhan ohoni, yn ennill gwobr ariannol gwerth £1,000. Mae’r arian hwn i fynd tuag at offer neu fesurau i wella’r maes chwarae, er enghraifft. Bydd rhaid i’r clybiau buddugol ddarparu anfoneb neu ddyfynbris i CBDC ar gyfer yr offer neu’r gwaith dan sylw.

Bydd pob clwb buddugol hefyd yn ennill tlws Chwarae Teg CBDC, a fydd yn cynnwys logo cynllun Chwarae Teg CBDC ynghyd ag enw’r clwb a’r tymor. Byddwn hefyd yn darparu logo enillydd Gwobr Chwarae Teg CBDC i’r clybiau a gellir defnyddio hwn, er enghraifft, ar eu rhaglenni a’u gwefan. Bydd clybiau buddugol hefyd yn gallu arddangos bathodyn enillydd Chwarae Teg CBDC ar eu cit ar gyfer y tymor dilynol.

Gan ein bod ni’n credu mewn Chwarae Teg, a chymryd rhan weithredol yn y broses o leihau nifer yr achosion o gamymddwyn ar y cae, mae CBDC yn annog ac yn gwobrwyo ymddygiad da.

Y BARRY HORNE’S YN YCHWANEGU AT YR AWYRGYLCH.



In March 2011, an ad campaign for BBC Radio Wales’ live coverage of the upcoming Wales v England match appeared on our TV screens. Eleven then unknown footie fans, clad in the red of Welsh football, marched into our lounges, blasting trumpets and banging drums. In March 2011, the Barry Horns were unleashed on the world!

Since then, the Barry Horns’ infectiously positive terrace tunes have provided the soundtrack to some of the most passionate and accomplished Wales performances in years.

“We love football, we love music, but mostly, we love Wales” says founding member James Watkins.

Mae’n siwr eich bod chi wedi sylwi ar y band newydd sydd wedi bod yn chwarae yn y gemau cartref yn ddiweddar. Yn sgîl cystadleuaeth ar BBC Cymru mae grwp y Barry Horns wedi ychwanegu dipyn o liw ac awyrgylch i’r gemau cartref ac mi roedden nhw yn bresennol yn Wembley hefyd ar gyfer yr ymweliad i Loegr.

Mae nhw wedi profi yn hynod o boblogaidd. Wrth gwrs mae nhw hefyd wedi eu henwi ar ol un o chwaraeyr mwayf poblogaidd Cymru, y cyn gapten Barry Horne sydd bellach yn rhan o dim sylwebu Sky ar y gemau rhyngwladol.

44 INTERNATIONAL


As part of the Football Association of Wales’ (FAW) strategy, it was agreed to look at the feasibility of bidding to host the finals of a major footballing tournament in Wales.

It was decided to target two major events in 2013, firstly, the UEFA Women’s under 19 European Finals and secondly, the UEFA European under 21 Finals.

The FAW contacted UEFA regarding the procedure and were sent a folder outlining the requirements and timeline to produce a bid document for these tournaments.

Whilst UEFA had never given more than one event to a particular association in the same year, the tactic from the FAW was to bid for these events as we knew what these tournaments can provide to the hosts.

For the UEFA under 21 finals in Sweden during 2009, a study commissioned by the Swedish FA and conducted by the Swedish Tourism Research Institute estimated that visiting tourists spent an average of 777 SEK (£1.00 = 10 SEK) per person per day (excl. match tickets).

The total value of their consumption was estimated to be 130 million SEK and the event created 81 man years. The tourists spent their money mainly on accommodation, commerce and restaurants. More than 80 percent of the turnover was spent within any of these three categories.

the ‘BID’

45RHYNGWLADOL


All together 163,196 visits were registered at the UEFA Under 21 Championship and these were made by 86,145 unique visitors. The average number of matches visited was 1.9. A third of the visitors had visited or planned to visit the Fan Zones.

The majority of the tourists (91%) visited the event destinations primarily to attend the UEFA Under 21 Championship. This means that almost every tourist is to be considered a direct tourism contribution to the destination.

As the finals for the both the Women’s Under 19 tournament and the U21 Tournament would require four stadia to host the matches, Wales was proud to show UEFA the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff City Stadium, Liberty Stadium and Parc Y Scarlets when they inspected potential venues in November 2010.

The feedback from UEFA was extremely positive and the infrastructure is in place to host a major event. Therefore, it was no surprise when UEFA awarded the right to host the Women’s Under 19 finals to Wales for 2013.

As a result of this experience, the FAW has forged better partnerships with the Welsh Assembly Government and various unitary authorities.

What started as a pipedream has now become the start of a major strategy to ensure a legacy is left in 2013 that will increase participation of football at all levels in Wales and ensure the facilities at grassroots is improved.

This has also led to further bids for FIFA World Cups in 2015 and a definitive policy to educate the world as to the first class facilities on offer in this sporting nation.

48 HELPING HAND

Swans star Joe Allen joined Welsh Football Trust (WFT) representatives and prominent coaches and volunteers at the Liberty Stadium to launch a new four year strategic plan to further develop disability football in Wales.

Joe, who’s brother Harry also stars for Wales in the national deaf Futsal team, spoke about the important role that football plays in improving success and life chances for all people regardless of ability or disability. He also congratulated the WFT on its successes in disability football development over the past five years which has included the formation of 25 community clubs involving over 500 disabled players, the organisation of regional and national school and club festivals and the production of a disability coach education programme.

In announcing the new plan WFT Chief Executive, Neil Ward, said, “the Trust’s principal aims are to grow the game and raise standards

by establishing structures that encourage more people to play football and to develop talented players in preparation for international competition. This new disability plan will help us achieve both of those aims by ensuring more disabled people can access football opportunities and helping those with talent to fulfil their potential and in some cases represent Wales on the international stage”.

Regional Development Coordinator, Jamie Clewer, responsible for producing the Plan said “the National Disability Football Forum set up by the Trust has helped develop the new plan by coordinating and sharing the views of all those involved in the disabled game. We have set ourselves some challenging and ambitious targets including a 40% increase in participation.

A new emphasis is the development of two disabled international teams and regional performance centres to help feed those teams. Coaching will remain an important focus to help raise playing standards by ensuring we have more and better qualified coaches available to work with disabled players”.

49CYNNIG CYMORTH

Ymunodd seren elyrch Abertawe, Joe Allen, â chynrychiolwyr Ymddiriedolaeth Bêl-droed Cymru a hyfforddwyr a gwirfoddolwyr adnabyddus yn Stadiwm Liberty i lansio cynllun strategol pedair blynedd i ddatblygu pêl-droed anabledd ymhellach yng Nghymru.

Siaradodd Joe, sydd â brawd o’r enw Harry sydd hefyd yn serennu i Gymru fel rhan o dîm byddar cenedlaethol Futsal, am y rôl bwysig y mae pêl-droed yn ei chwarae o ran gwella llwyddiant a chyfleodd bywyd i bawb. Bu iddo longyfarch yr Ymddiriedolaeth am ei llwyddiant o ran datblygu pêl-droed anabledd dros y pum mlynedd ddiwethaf. Mae’r gwaith hwn wedi cynnwys ffurfio 25 o glybiau cymunedol sy’n cynnwys dros 500 o chwaraewyr anabl, trefnu gwyliau rhanbarthol a chenedlaethol ar gyfer ysgolion a chlybiau a datblygu rhaglen addysg ar gyfer hyfforddwyr anabledd.

Wrth gyhoeddi’r cynllun newydd, meddai Prif Weithredwr yr Ymddiriedolaeth, Neil Ward, “prif amcanion yr Ymddiriedolaeth yw datblygu’r gêm a chodi’r safon drwy sefydlu strwythurau sy’n annog mwy o bobl i chwarae pêl-droed a datblygu chwaraewyr talentog i

gystadlu’n rhyngwladol. Bydd y cynllun anabledd newydd yn ein helpu i gyflawni’r ddau amcan hyn drwy sicrhau bod cyfleoedd pêl-droed ar gael i fwy o bobl anabl, er mwyn helpu’r rheiny sydd â thalent i gyrraedd eu llawn botensial ac mewn rhai achosion, cynrychioli Cymru ar y llwyfan rhyngwladol”.

Meddai’r Cydgysylltydd Datblygu Rhanbarthol, Jamie Clewer, sy’n gyfrifol am gynhyrchu’r Cynllun “mae’r Fforwm Pêl-droed Anabledd Cenedlaethol a sefydlwyd gan yr Ymddiriedolaeth wedi helpu i i ddatblygu’r cynllun newydd drwy gydgysylltu â rhannu sylwadau pawb sy’n cymryd rhan yn y gêm anabledd. Rydym wedi gosod targedau heriol ac uchelgeisiol iawn i’n hunain gan gynnwys cynnydd o 40% yn nifer y bobl sy’n cymryd rhan.

Bydd pwyslais o’r newydd ar ddatblygu dau dîm anabledd rhyngwladol a chanolfannau perfformiad rhanbarthol i fwydo’r timau hynny. Bydd hyfforddiant yn parhau i fod yn ganolbwynt pwysig er mwyn codi safonau chwarae drwy sicrhau bod mwy o hyfforddwyr cymwys ar gael i weithio gyda chwaraewyr anabl”.

FAW CONTINUE THEIR SUPPORTShow Racism the Red Card is an educational charity that aims to combat racism through harnessing the high profile status of professional footballers and other role models.

The FAW have worked closely with SRtRC in Wales over the last 5 years and this season will see work expanded into new areas, as well as working with new clubs.

This will enable us jointly to educate more young people and adults across Wales in our aim to eradicate racism and discrimination from football and society in Wales.

EVENTS AT FOOTBALL CLUBSSRtRC work in partnership with football clubs to host educational events for local young people. The events feature fun and interactive workshops and a screening of the Show Racism the Red Card DVD.

Current and ex-professional footballers from the clubs attend the events and answer young people’s questions about racism, which have a long lasting positive impact on young people in Wales.

FORTNIGHT OF ACTIONThe Fortnight of Action takes place on the 12th – 25th October this year which involves over 50 clubs in Wales including the National teams, who will be showing their support for the campaign. This provides a timely focal point for all those who are committed to challenging racism and discrimination. The high profile anti-racism actions that take place over this fortnight act as a catalyst for on-going actions throughout the year.

POSTERSWe produce over half a million posters per season of football teams and other professional sports clubs across the UK, including the Welsh National teams. These posters prove to be extremely popular with young people in schools and the community.

Mae Dangos y Cerdyn Coch i Hiliaeth yn elusen addysgol sy’n brwydro yn erbyn hiliaeth drwy fanteisio ar statws chwaraewyr pêl-droed proffesiynol uchel eu proffil a phobl eraill sy’n gosod esiampl.

Mae’r Gymdeithas wedi gweithio’n agos â’r elusen yng Nghymru dros y 5 mlynedd diwethaf a’r tymor hwn, bydd ein gwaith yn ehangu i feysydd newydd, yn ogystal â chynnwys clybiau newydd.

Drwy wneud hyn, gallwn fynd ati gyda’n gilydd i addysgu mwy o bobl ifanc ac oedolion ledled Cymru fel rhan o’n gwaith i gael gwared ar hiliaeth a gwahaniaethu o fyd pêl-droed ac o’r gymdeithas yng Nghymru.

DIGWYDDIADAU MEWN CLYBIAUPÊL-DROEDMae’r elusen yn gweithio mewn partneriaeth â chlybiau pêl-droed i gynnal digwyddiadau addysgol ar gyfer pobl ifanc. Mae’r digwyddiadau yn cynnwys gweithdai rhyngweithiol diddorol yn ogystal â chyfle i wylio DVD Dangos y Cerdyn Coch i Hiliaeth.

The visual impact of players holding our red cards is an excellent endorsement of our campaign and helps to publicly demonstrate the club’s anti-racist stance.

“The work of Show Racism the Red Card in Wales has been a fantastic success story in recent years. The Welsh arm of the Charity started from humble beginnings but has developed into a really influential body. Their work in Wales with the Welsh Premier League clubs as well as Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham and Newport should not be underestimated. Anyone who has attended a SRTRC event can only be impressed by the Campaign Workers’ enthusiasm, expertise and their ability to deliver the right message.”

Andrew Howard, Head of Competitions at the FAW.

2011 Champions Pentrehafod School


57HOME AND AWAY

The 5-a-side tournament, organised by British Transport Police (BTP), Network Rail and Arriva Trains Wales, saw teams from comprehensive schools across South Wales battle it out on the pitch.

Although Pentrehafod lifted the trophy for Wales’s Premier League city, all 12 teams that reached the grand final were winners, as each school was awarded 50 tickets for a Wales international, courtesy of the Football Association of Wales.

Pentrehafod – whose school is just a free-kick away from the Liberty Stadium – emerged victorious 2-0 after a pulsating final against Caerleon, winning the Railway Safety Cup and being presented with a shirt signed by the Wales football squad for display in their school.

Player of the Tournament was Pentrehafod’s Lewis Thomas, who spearheaded his side’s march to glory at Swansea’s PlayFootball facility, while Pontarddulais and Llanrumney made up the quartet of semi-finalists.

The aim of the event is to promote alternative activities for youngsters to discourage them from trespassing on the railway.

Around 200 children have been involved in the tournament, spread over three regional rounds – Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Cardiff – with the four semi-finalists from each heat progressing to the grand final.

Cafwyd cystadlu brŵd ym mhencampwriaeth 5 bob ochr Heddlu Trafnidiaeth Prydain, y Rheilffordd a Threnau Arriva.

Pentrehafod o Abertawe enillodd y gystadleuaeth a derbyniodd pob ysgol oedd yn cymryd rhan 50 o docynnau i gêm ryngwladol.

Chwaraewr y gystadleuaeth oedd Lewis Thomas o Pentrehafod – roedd dros 200 o blant wedi chwarae.
