Cyfle i’r ifanc / Chances for youth
Gyda nifer o’i garfan yn methu chwarae oherwydd gwaharddiad neu anaf, roedd yn dda gweld y rheolwr Craig Papirnyk, yn rhoi lle i dri o chwaraewyr yr Academi ar y fainc yn Bwcle. Cafodd Gwion John Williams ei gyfle cyntaf yn yr HGA, gan ddod i’r cae am y 10 munud olaf. Ar y fainc hefyd roedd Meilir Edwards a Rhys Hughes -a Sion Eirian, rheolwr y tîm Dan 19 yn trydar:
Delighted to see 3 of my 19s boys on the @CPDPorthmadogFC 1st team bench today. Congrats to @Gwion_John on his debut! #hogiaport #mwyiddod pic.twitter.com/24bjz1TK9u
Y tymor hwn mae wedi bod yn dda gweld gymaint o chwaraewyr a gychwynnodd yn yr Academi ar y Traeth yn gwneud eu marc. Yn barod mae hogiau Blaenau, Tyler French a Sion Bradley, wedi creu dipyn o argraff. Maent yn dilyn llwybr Cai Jones, Iddon Price a heb anghofio Richard Harvey i gyd wedi cychwyn yn ifanc ar Y Traeth.
Mae hyn i gyd yn tanlinellu pwysigrwydd yr Academi a penderfyniad dewr y Bwrdd i lenwi’r gap amlwg yn y dilyniant, a cael tîm yn y Gynghrair Ddatblygol, gan gynnig llwybr drwodd i’r tîm cyntaf i chwaraewyr ifanc,a hynny heb iddynt orfod gadael i gael profiad efo clybiau eraill.
Un oedd yn edrych ar y cyfan yn Bwcle gyda balchder oedd Eddie Blackburn a rhoddodd wasanaeth mawr i’r Academi fel Gweinyddwr. Mae’r cyfan y gadael y cwestiwn, “Pam nad yw’r Gymdeithas Bêl-droed yn barod i roi cefnogaeth ariannol i Academi lwyddianus fel un Port?”

With a number of his squad unavailable through supension and injury it was good to see manager Craig Papirnyk include three of the club’s Academy U19s on the bench at Buckley. Gwion J Williams was given his first HGA opportunity with a 10 minute sub appearance. Also on the bench at Globe Way were Meilir Edwards and Rhys Hughes prompting U19s coach Sion Eifion to tweet:
Delighted to see 3 of my 19s boys on the @CPDPorthmadogFC 1st team bench today. Congrats to @Gwion_John on his debut! #hogiaport #mwyiddod pic.twitter.com/24bjz1TK9u
It is great this season to see so many players who have come through the Academy and Youth system at the Traeth, making their mark. Tyler French, and now the returning Sion Bradley have made a real impression already. They follow in the footsteps of Cai Jones, Iddon Price and not forgetting Richard Harvey who have all come through the ranks.
All of this underlines the importance of the Academy system and the brave decision of the Board to plug the obvious gap in the system and enter a team in the WP Development League, so that players have a pathway to the first team, without having to leave and find their feet elsewhere.
Looking on with justifiable pride at Buckley was Eddie Blackburn who gave so much to the growth and success of the Academy in his time as Administrator. It leaves us asking the question. “Why does the FAW not support successful Academies like Ours.”

Wrth ddiolch i First Hydro dywedodd Gethin Jones, Hyfforddwr y tîm o Dan 12 oed a sydd hefyd yn gyfrifol am gynllun ‘Pêl-droed yn y Gymuned y Clwb:
“Nid yw’r clwb yn derbyn unrhyw nawdd gan yr awdurdodau pêl-droed tuag at yr Academi ac felly ers rhai blynyddoedd bellach bu rhaid i ni ariannu pob agwedd o’r gweithgareddau. Felly croesawn yn dwym galon gyfraniadau fel hwn gan First Hydro.”

Thanking First Hydro for its generous support Gethin Jones, the Academy’s Under 12’s coach who also runs the Club’s ‘Football in the Community’ programme, said:

Rhagolwg: Bwcle / Preview: BuckleyTown
Pnawn Sadwrn bydd Port yn teithio i Globe Way, Bwcle. Yn dilyn y fuddugolaieth dros Llanfair, a’r canlyniadau eraill hefyd yn mynd o’u plaid, mae Port wedi codi i’r 4ydd safle. Gall buddugoliaeth osod mwy o bwysau ar Fflint sy’n 3ydd.
Dros nifer o dymhorau cafodd Port dipyn o drafferth yn erbyn Bwcle, ond y tymor diwethaf llwyddwyd i wneud y dwbl drostynt, a Port hefyd enillodd y gêm rhwng y ddau ar Y Traeth ynghynt yn y tymor.
Ar hyn o bryd mae Bwcle yn cael eu hunain yn nhri gwaelod y tabl ar ôl colli eu chwe gêm ddiwethaf, gyda 50 o goliau wedi’i sgorio yn eu herbyn yn ystood y tymor. Ond y penwythnos diwethaf buont yn anlwcus i golli o 1-0 yn Caersws. Dan Moore oedd y rheolwr dros dro yn cymryd lle Ben Chamberlain sydd wedi ymddiswyddo.
Bydd y ddau glwb yn colli chwaraewyr oherwydd gwharddiad. Dan Roberts ac Iddon Price yn methu i Port, a cyn chwaraewr Port Asa Hamilton yn methu i Bwcle.

Saturday Port travel to Buckley for a league fixture and, with the win against Llanfair as well as other results going in their favour, they are now in 4th place in the table. They will therefore look to maintain pressure on Flint in third place.
Over recent seasons Buckley have very much been Port’s bogey side so it was something of a relief to do the double over them last season. Port were also winners at the Traeth earlier this season.
Currently Buckley find themselves in the bottom three and are on a run of six straight league defeats, with their plight being mainly down to defensive problems which has seen them concede a total of 50 goals so far this season. But last weekend, under caretaker manager Dan Moore they were unlucky do go down 1-0 at Caersws.
Both clubs will lose players to suspensions on Saturday with Dan Roberts (2 yellows last Saturday) and Iddon Price (totting up process ) both missing out as will former Port forward Asa Hamilton now playing for Buckley.

Jamie yn gadael y clwb / Jamie leaves the club
Dywedodd Craig Papirnyk heno fod y blaenwr Jamie McDaid wedi penderfynu gadael y clwb er mwyn chwarae yn fwy rheolaidd. Meddai Craig:
“Mae Jamie wedi gadael y clwb. Bu’n gyfnod anodd iddo ac mae’n awyddus i chwarae’n fwy rheolaidd. Mae wedi gadael ar delerau da ac rwy’n dymuno’n dda iddo yn y dyfodol.
“Byddwn yn cario ‘mlaen fel arfer. Mae gennym garfan ardderchog a bydd angen i bawb gyd dynnu. Mae fy merthynas i gyda’r chwaraewyr i gyd yn un agored a gonest. Mae pawb yn deall mae’r garfan sy’n bwysig imi a hynny o rhif 1-18 ac nid 1-11.
Gwelsom pnawn Sadwrn mor bwysig ydy cael dyfnder yn y garfan, a nid yn unig yr XI sy’n cychwyn. Bob amser wedyn bydd gennym opsiynau i gryfhau pan fod angen fel y digwyddodd gyda Josh Davies a Sion Bradley yn erbyn Llanfair.
Sadwrn nesaf byddwn yn teithio i Fwcle gan anelu i ennill eto. Mae’n bwysig inni sicrhau’r 3 phwynt yr holl ffordd hyd ddiwedd y tymor. C’mon Port!!

Craig Papirnyk reports that forward Jamie McDaid has left the club in search of more regular football. Craig said
“Jamie McDaid as parted ways with the club, it has been a difficult period for him and he wants to play more football. He has left on good terms and I wish him all the best in the future .
“For us we carry on as normal as we have an excellent squad and we need everyone pulling together. I have an open and honest relationship with all my players. They all understand that for me it's about the squad and that involves 1-18 not 1-11 .
“We have witnessed 1st hand on the weekend how influential having strength in depth is and no matter what the starting X1 I pick, we will always have options to strengthen when changes are needed, just like Josh Davies and Sion Bradley did for us on the weekend!
“Saturday we will travel to Buckley looking to continue our winning ways. It's important for us to keep picking up maximum points all the way until the end of the season !! C’mon Port”

Cyfweliadau Tommie / Tommie’s Interviews
Yn ystod y tymor mae Tommie Collins wedi cynyrchu nifer o gyfweliadau ardderchog gyda’r diweddaraf yn gyfweliad gyda’r rheolwr Craig Papirnyk yn dilyn y fuddugoliaeth dros Llanfair. Ar ddechrau 2017 mae’n cael yr ymateb arferol gonest, traed ar y ddaear, gan Craig. Mae yna gyfweliadau eraill yn adlewyrchu agweddau eraill o’r clwb: safbwynt y chwaraewr, yr hyfforddwr a hefyd, profiad sydd mor aml yn cael ei anwybyddu, hwnnw sy’n digwydd tu ôl i’r llenni a cewch glywed am gyfraniad un sydd ar yr un pryd yn wirfoddolwr/cefnogwr a swyddog clwb. Er mwyn cael golwg ar y gwaith, yr ymdrech a’r proffesiynoldeb sydd eu hangen i drefnu clwb, gwrandewch ar y cyfweliadau yma.
Felly yn ogystal â’r cyfweliad gyda Craig cewch un gyda’r golwr Richard Harvey yn rhoi golwg inni o safbwynt y chwaraewr, gyda’i uchelgais yn y gêm, yr uchelfannau, y cyfnodau isel a rhwystredig oherwydd anafiadau. Gyda Guy Handscombe cawn glywed am waith hyfforddwr proffesiynol gyda’r Ymddiriedolaeth Bêl-droed yn ogystal ac am ei waith gyda Port. Os nad ydych eto wedi clywed y cyfweliad cewch agoriad llygad wrth i Tommie holi Dylan Rees, Swyddog Marchnata’r clwb. Teg dweud mae’n siwr nad oes fawr o swyddogion marchnata yn treulio’u hamser yn gwagio’r biniau o gwmpas y cae yn dilyn gêm!!
Diolch Tommie a dal ati a diolch hefyd i’r rhai hynny a gytunodd i gael eu cyfweld gan ymateb mor glir ac agored. Cewch y cyfelwadau i gyda ar soundcloud.com/tommie-collins-1

Tommie Collins has recorded a number of excellent interviews during the current season with the latest being a post match interview with manager Craig Papirnyk following the home fixture against Llanfair United. As usual he gets another honest. realistic assessment from Craig at the turn of the year. Other interviews have covered other aspects of the life of the club: from a player’s point of view, a coach’s view and the often neglected behind the scenes experiences of an all rolled into one; volunteer/supporter/club official. For a real insight into the work, effort and professionalism that goes into running a club these interviews will provide it.
In addition to the interview with Craig there are interviews with long serving keeper Richard Harvey giving a real insight into the playing side with its ambitions, its ups and downs as well as its injury frustrations. Assistant Manager Guy Handscombe tells followers about his work as a coach with the FAW Trust as well as with Port . If you haven’t already heard it, a real eye opener for many will be the one with Marketing Officer Dylan Rees. It is fair to say that not many Marketing officers also spend their post match time clearing the bins at the Traeth!!
Thanks Tommie keep them commg and thanks to the excellent subjects of the interviews who have responded in such a clear and open way. All interviews can be found on: soundcloud.com/tommie-collins-1

Siôn will come in and strengthen us in the area most needed across midfield, He can play either side and has the ability to use both feet.

    Rhagolwg/ Preview: Llanfair United.
    Pnawn Sadwrn byddwn adre am y tro cyntaf ers 26 Tachwedd, pan croesawyd Penrhyncoch i’r Traeth. Y tro yma Llanfair fydd yr ymwelwyr i’r Traeth. Yn y cyfnod hwn gwelwyd buddugoliaethau dros Dinbych a Rhuthun ond hefyd aethom allan o Gwpan Cymru ac efallai mwy siomedig i’r criw mawr a deithiodd i’r Oval, colli eto yn y gêm ddarbi. Cawsom ddigonedd o’r meddiant ond yn colli gôl i gic rhydd a wedyn un arall i wrth ymosodiad, a hynny yn erbyn rhediad y chwarae. Yn ôl ar Y Traeth bydd Port am wella eu perfformiadau adre, yn ennill ond 3 gêm a cholli pedair.
    Ar ôl colli eu tair gêm ddiwethaf mae Llanfair wedi llithro i’r 12fed safle. Byddant felly yn chwilio am bwyntiau gan sylweddoli’r posibilrwydd y bydd pedwar clwb yn disgyn ar ddiwedd y tymor. Yn eu 2ail dymor yn yr HGA mae Llanfair eisoes wedi achosi mwy o siocs na mae’r rhan fwyaf o glybiau yn creu mewn degawd gyda Port, Prestatyn a Caernarfon i gyd wedi dioddef! Curwyd y Cofis 4-2, dau fis yn ôl ar yr Oval.
    Yn y gêm lawr yn Llanfair Caereinion, Port enillodd o 2-0 gyda Jamie McDaid a Chris Jones yn sgorio.Y diwrnod hwnnw teithiwyd i’r canolbarth drwy law difrifol ond diolch i’r gwaith draenio ar y cae yn ystod yr haf, chwaraewyd y gêm heb drafferth. Anodd rhagweld pa Lanfair fydd yn teithio i’r Traeth ond mae gan y tîm y ddawn i newid gêm mewn ychydig o funudau o wrth ymosod ysbrydoledig. Cymysgfa o fuddugoliaethau da a colledion reit drwm fu y tymor hwn i Llanfair. Eto eleni, James Davies yw eu prif sgoriwr ac yn cael cefnogaeth gan Paul Griffiths ac Andrew Hughes. Edrych yn ôl i’r gêm ar Y Traeth llynedd cafwyd buddugoliaeth o 6-1 gyda Julian Williams yn sgorio hatric. C’mon Port.

    On Saturday we play our first home fixture since we entertained Penrhyncoch on the 26th November when we welcome Llanfair United to the Traeth. In this period there were wins at Denbigh and Ruthin but it also saw us go out of the Welsh Cup but perhaps most disappointing to the huge following who travelled to the Oval, was another derby defeat to Caernarfon. Looking back at that loss we had more than a fair share of possession but unfortunately conceded from a set piece and were then hit by a breakaway goal. Back at the Traeth again Port will be looking to improve their home form which has seen them win just three times while losing four games.
    Our opponents from Llanfair Caereinion have slipped to 12th in the table following three straight defeats. They will come looking for points well aware that four clubs could face the drop this season. But in only their second season in the HGA, Llanfair have caused more shocks than most cause in a decade. Port, Prestatyn and Caernarfon have all suffered at their hands with the Cofis being beaten 4-2 at the Oval just a couple of months back.
    In this season’s corresponding game at Llanfair Caerenion, Port were winners by 2-0 with Jamie McDaid and Chris Jones the scorers. The journey down to Llanfair was made through torrential rain but the new drainage at Mount Field ensured that the game was played and no problem. Llanfair Utd can be unpredictable turning apparent losing situations in a few minutes of inspired counter attacking. Their season so far is a mixture of quite heavy defeaIs and stunning victories. This season again James Davies is their leading scorer well supported by Paul Griffiths and Andrew Hughes. In last season’s encounter Port ran out winners by a margin of 6-1 with Julian Williams getting a hat-trick. C’mon Port!

    Caergybi fydd gwrthwynebwyr Port yn Rownd 2 o Gwpan Huws Gray ar ddyddiad i’w drefnu. Curwyd Bwcle gan Gaergybi o 2-1 yn y rownd gyntaf heddiw.

    Dim gêm / No Fixture
    Pnawn Sadwrn 31 Rhagfyr bydd chwech o glybiau yn chwarae yn Rownd 2 Cwpan Huws Gray. Ond bydd rhaid i Port aros tan fydd y gêm olaf yn Rownd 1 rhwng Caergybi a Bwcle, hefyd pnawn Sadwrn, wedi’i chwarae cyn gwybod pwy fydd ein gwrthwynebwyr yn Rownd 2.
    Felly bydd gan Port Sadwrn rhydd.

    Next Saturday, 31 December, six clubs will be involved in Round 2 of the Huws Gray Cup. With Port’s opponents in Round 2 yet to be decided we will have to wait on the result of Saturday’s remaining Round 1 fixture between Holyhead Hotspur and Buckley Town.
    Next Saturday will therfore be a free Saturday for Port.

    Ffasiwn Dorf!! / What a Crowd!!
    Y pwnc trafod mawr yn dilyn Darbi Gwynedd ddydd Mawrth oedd maint y dorf. Roedd yna 1247 ar yr Oval a mae hynny wedi arwain at drafodaeth bwysig gan godi cwestiynau am agweddau’r rhai sy’n trefnu’r cynghreiriau yng Nghymru. Er waethaf y dystiolaeth o ddiflastod efo’r uwch gynghrair 12 clwb mae’r penaethiaid wedi ail ddatgan eu ffydd yn y cynllun amhoblogaidd.
    379 aeth i weld TNS yn dod yn gyfartal a record byd am rhediad o fudugoliaethau a hyn yn tueddu i gadarhau diffyg apêl y gynghrair. Mae torf o 658 yn Nantporth ar Wyl San Steffan i weld Darbi’r A55 rhwng Bangor a Llandudno yn awgrymu fod cefnogwyr ffyddlon Bangor wedi cael digon o’r fformat presennol hefyd.
    Mae llawer o gefnogwyr clybiau’r HGA, er yn awyddus i weld eu clybiau yn ennill y gynghrair, yn cael mwy o bleser tu allan i’r WPL ymysg y clybiau cymunedol go-iawn.
    Am fwy ar y pwnc hwn ewch i p425.wordpress.com lle mae Simon Brooks yn deud ei ddweud.

    The big talking point after the Gwynedd Derby on Tuesday has proved to be the size of the crowd. 1.247 spectators at the Oval, now that has set the tongues wagging and raises some very serious questions for those entrusted with running the domestic game. At present these people have, despite all the evidence to the contrary, confirmed their faith in a 12 club WPL.
    379 to see TNS equal a world record winning run seems to confirm a lack of appeal, While the Bangor v Llandudno, A55 derby, attracted 658 which suggests that even followers of well supported Bangor City are giving up on the 12-club WPL.
    Many HGA supporters, though they would like to see their club winning the title, prefer life outside the WPL, in a league which is competitive and has genuine community clubs.

    Darbi Gwynedd / Derby Day Tuesday
    Bydd y ffyrdd i gyd yn arwain at un lle pnawn Mawrth nesaf; yr Oval yng Nghaernarfon ydy’r lle i fod, a dewch yn gynnar gan fydd yna dorf fawr yno.
    Bydd y speis arferol yn Derby Fawr Gwynedd, pan fydd yr ail yng Nghynghrair Huws Gray yn chwarae’e 4ydd. I gynnal eu sialens ar y brig bydd y Cofis yn edrych am y 3 phwynt, tra fydd Port yn ceisio cynnal y rhediad diweddar sydd wedi ei gweld yn symud i fyny’r tabl.
    Os ydy hanes diweddar yn cyfri am rhywbeth bydd y Cofis yn llawn hyder i ail adrodd y fuddugoliaeth o 2-1 ar y Traeth ynghynt yn y tymor. Yn wir mae Caernarfon wedi ennill y 5 gêm ddiweddaf rhwng y ddau glwb, gyda pedair yn gorffen yn 2-1 a’r llall yn 1-0. Ond gyda’r canlyniadau mor agos ydy hi’n bryd i lwc Port newid? Bydd Port yn cadw mewn cof fod y cychwyn araf ar Y Traeth wedi costio’r gêm iddyn nhw, gyda Nathan Craig a Jamie Breeze y sgorio goliau cynnar, y gyntaf mewn llai na munud!
    Pnawn Sadwrn diwethaf colli gêm agos yn Prestatyn oedd hanes Caernarfon a hyn yn ei gadael 9 pwynt tu ôl yn yr ail safle. Bydd Port yn gobeithio parhau a’u fform oddi cartref; y fuddugoliaeth glos yn Rhuthun oedd eu 6ed buddugoliaeth mewn 8 gêm. Hefyd cafwyd gêm gyfartal yn Prestatyn tra yn Caersws roedd yr unig siom. Edrychwn ymlaen at gêm Ddarbi gyffrous a C’mon Port!!

    It’s Derby Day Tuesday on 27 December when all roads will be leading to the Oval and you better get there early as a huge crowd is expected!
    This is a game between 2nd and 4th in the HGA and is a must win game for the Cofi promotion challenge and will also be a test for Port’s recent surge up the table.
    If recent history is anything to go by then Caernarfon Town will be confident of another win to follow the 2-1 victory at the Traeth earlier in the season. Caernarfon have won the last five league encounters four of which ended with the same 2-1 scoreline and the other was 1-0. But having been such close encounters Port will feel maybe it’s high time for a change of fortunes.
    Port will be aware that their slow start cost them dearly back in August with dangermen Nathan Craig and Jamie Breeze putting the Cofis in the driving seat with two early goals, one in the 1st minute of the game!
    Caernarfon come to the game on the back of a narrow defeat to promotion rivals and this has opened a gap of 9 pts at the top of the table. Port will hope that their form on the road will continue; the last minute win at Ruthin being their sixth away victory in 8 games. There was also a hard fought 1-1 draw at Prestatyn while at Caersws came the only away disappointment.
    Let’s hope for an entertaining action packed Derby and C’mon Port!!

    Sylwadau Craig / Craig’s Comments
    Isod mae Craig Papirnyk yn cymryd golwg ymlaen at y gêm ddarbi ar yr Oval ac yn ôl i’r 6ed fuddugoliaeth o’r tymor oddi cartref.

    Craig Papirnyk looks ahead to the local derby at the Oval next Tuesday and back to the 6th away win of the season.

    “We approach the game like any other , however there is always an element of excitement before this CA Gwynedd Derby, it’s a pleasure to part of it ! The importance of any fixture is always high but I must say it is slightly greater for this game as we are both up there competing at the top end of the league and the 3 points is massive for both of us at this stage of the season , especially with Prestatyn having such a big lead.
    “We are two big clubs within Gwynedd and have a mutual respect for one another. Past games have always been played in good spirits and of the highest quality , They are great games, we have had some really close ones most ending by the odd goal, the crowds have always been fantastic and the Coffi’s have a great supporters group as do we at Port, both sets of fans are very passionate about their clubs and it makes for a great atmosphere. I expect no different Tuesday afternoon and I am really looking forward to it ! Iwan is doing a great job at Caernarfon and we know how difficult of an ask it will be for us to bring another 3pts home but we will give it everything as we have nothing to lose.
    “Looking back to the Ruthin game, it was a great way to win it with the last kick if the game, the dressing room was buzzing at the end and that’s a great feeling. I was proud of my team, they give me everything in the games we play and will always work until the last whistle. I have a great bunch of lads who believe in each other and have a real togetherness, we have a great changing room. It is always a difficult time to play after the Xmas break as you want your players to enjoy their day, the lads are not full time bu , they do understand the importance of preparing right for any game. We have trained this week and I trust my players to be responsible but enjoy their time over the holidays.
    “Rob is going to be a massive miss for us as he has really come into form of late and he is disappointed to be missing the fixture. The sending off was the right decision but thankfully didn’t effect us getting the 3pts ! Yws Gwynedd is still injured but will be looking to train in the new year. Ceri James is a doubt after picking up a knock in training but Gareth Jones Evans and Paul Lewis will both return to the squad.
    “We want to win every game and I believe I have a squad that is good enough to compete week in week out for the points against anyone. Though we dipped in form in November we have just started to build momentum again and the points on offer at the Oval are massive for us. It will be of huge importance to come away with the win and continue to close the gap on those above us.
    “I would like to wish all of our supporters a very Merry Christmas , I hope you all have a lovely day and will be there in good spirits at Caernarfon on Tuesday to support us once again!!”

    COME ON PORT !

    Treflyn yn dewis / Treflyn’s selection
    Diddorol oedd gweld, ar y Daily Post, Treflyn Jones yn gwneud ei ddewis o’r tîm gorau a welodd, fel cefnogwr brwd. dros y blynyddoedd. Mae ei ddewis yn siwr o ddod ac atgofion o gyffro’r gorffennol.
    Yn y gôl Gareth Hughes yw’r dewis, ‘chydig ar y blaen i Ifor Pritchard a Tim Humphries.
    Y cefnwyr ydy’r Cofi amryddawn Haydn Jones a’r hogyn lleol Mike Foster a chwaraeodd 377 o gemau UGC. Yng nghanol yr amddiffyn rhaid oedd enwi Mel Charles ac wrth ei ochr y digyfaddawd Roly Evans o ardal Wrecsam.
    Hogyn lleol arall Aled Owen yng nghanol cae gyda Gwyn Williams yn ffurfio partneriaeth greadigol. Ar yr asgell Jimmy McCarthy a ddaeth i’r Traeth gyda chriw Lerpwl y 70au.
    Yn y blaen mae’n dewis sgorio clinigol Colin Gwinneth i fynd efo pasio cywir J O Williams. Yn cwblhau’r tîm mae Steve Woodin a aeth ymlaen i gynrychioli Seland Newydd yng Nghwpan y Byd 1982.
    Ei dri wrth gefn oedd Adrian Jones (Twm), Ifor Pritchard a Pat Laverty.

    It was interesting to see Treflyn Jones’s selection of his best all-time Porthmadog XI in the Daily Post. Treflyn is a long term Port supporter and here is a team to bring back memories of past triumphs.
    In goal he plumps for Gareth Hughes narrowly ahead of Ifor Pritchard and Tim Humphries.
    The full backs are Haydn Jones the play anywhere Cofi and local boy Mike Foster who made 377 WPL appearances. While in central defence he has to go for Mel Charles with the no messing Roly Evans from Wrexham alongside.
    Another local boy Aled Owen and Gwyn Willliams form a creative midfield with winger Jimmy McCarthy who came in with the Liverpool contingent of the 70’s.
    Up front he has the lethal finisher Colin Gwinneth and excellent passer J O Williams. Steve Woodin, who was later capped for New Zealand, completes his team.
    His three subs are Adrian Jones (Twm), Ifor Pritchard (gk) and Pat Laverty.

    Rhagolwg /Preview: Rhuthun
    Yn dilyn y fuddugoliaeth dros Ddinbych pnawn Sadwrn lle bu yn tywallt goliau, deg i gyd, bydd Port yn teithio i’r un cyfeiriad eto, y tro yma i Rhuthun. Bydd y gêm hon yn cychwyn am 2 o’r gloch. Y Sadwrn diwethaf gwnaeth Rhuthun greu dipyn o sioc wrth guro tîm cryf Treffynnon ac ennill ond am yr eildro y tymor hwn. Bydd y canlyniad hwn yn un amserol iawn ac yn rybudd i Port y gallai hon fod yn gêm arall anodd.
    Bydd y gêm hon hefyd yn gychwyn ar ail hanner y tymor. Mae’r ddau glwb wedi cyfarfod o’r blaen yn ôl ym mis Awst. Y tro yna enillodd Port o 3-1 gyda Julian Williams, Cai Jones a Gruff Williams yn sgorio dros Port a Llyr Morris dros Rhuthun.
    Roedd canlyniadau y Sadwrn diwethaf yn symud Port i fyny dau le yn y tabl a teithiwn yn chwilio am ganlyniad da eto pnawn Sadwrn, cyn y gêm Ddarbi fawr ar yr Oval.

    Following Saturday’s 10 goal spree at Denbigh Port travel in the same direction on Saturday, this time to play Ruthin Town for a game which kicks off at 2pm. Last weekend Ruthin recorded only their second win of the season, but it was quite a shock result, as they notched up a 2-1 win over a strong Holywell Town team. This result will be a timely warning to Port to prepare for another hard game, as are most games in the HGA.
    This match marks the start of the second half of the season and will be the second meeting between the two clubs. Back in August Port won the game at the Traeth with a 3-1 victory, with all four goals coming in the opening half. The scorers for Port were Julian Williams, Cai Jones and Gruff Williams. Llyr Morris responded for Ruthin.
    Port, having moved up two places in the table following the results of last weekend, will be looking to make further progress ahead of the Holiday Derby at the Oval. C’mon Port!

    Cychwyn am 2 o’r gloch / 2 pm kick off
    Sylwer bydd y gic gyntaf yn y gêm yn Rhuthun pnawn Sadwrn nesaf (Rhagfyr17) am 2 o’r gloch.

    Supporters should note that the game at Ruthin on Saturday (17 December) will kick off at 2 pm.
    14/12/16
    Taro pedair gôl / Four strikes
    Pnawn Sadwrn, yn erbyn ei glwb cartref, sgoriodd Josh Davies bedair gwaith; yr ail chwaraewr o Port i gyflawni’r gamp hon y tymor hwn. Cafodd partneriaeth Josh a Joe Williams bnawn i’w gofio yn erbyn Dinbych wrth i Port sgorio 5 gôl yn yr hanner cyntaf. Rhywdodd Josh hatric yn yr hanner cyntaf gyda Joe hefyd yn rhwydo a Rob Evans yn ymuno yn yr hwyl gan sgorio gôl wych ar y foli o 20 llath. Aeth Josh ymlaen i sgorio ei 4ydd gôl yn yr ail hanner gyda cic o’r smotyn.
    Julian Williams oedd y llall i wneud yr un gamp, a hynny yn y gêm gyntaf o’r tymor yn erbyn Y Wyddgrug. Yn y gêm honno Julian a Jamie McDaid cyfunodd yn y blaen. Gwnaeth y ddau greu y gôl wych gyda Julian yn penio i’r rhwyd ar y postyn cefn.

    On Saturday, and against his hometown club, Josh Davies became the second Port player in the current season to score four goals in a game. The new partnership between Josh and joe Williams prospered as Port netted five times in the opening half. Josh netted a first half hatrick with partner Joe also scoring and Rob Evans getting in on the act with a 20 yard screamer. Josh then completed his four goal tally from the penalty spot in the second half.
    Julian Williams also achieved the same feat in the opening game of the season, scoring four against Mold Alex. On that occasion it was Julian and Jamie McDaid who did the damage with the two also combining to create the opening for Julian’s super diving header.

    Hyfforddwr ‘A’ UEFA yn ymuno / UEFA ‘A’ coach joins
    Mae Craig Papirnyk wedi gwneud ychwanegiad pwysig i’w dîm hyfforddi gyda’r hyfforddwr Ioan Llywelyn yn ymuno. Eisoes mae’r hyfforddwr, sy’n dal trwydded hyfforddi ‘A’ UEFA, wedi cael dwy sesiwn dda gyda’r clwb. Mae’n gyfarwydd gyda nifer o’r chwaraewyr o’i gyfnod gyda clwb Bangor.
    Isod gwelir sylwadau Paps am y datblygiad. Croeso Ioan!

    Craig Papirnyk has made an important addition to his coaching staff with the following announcement that the experienced coach Ioan Llewelyn will be joining his management staff.
    “I am delighted that we have secured Ioan Llywelyn as a coach for us at Porthmadog FC.
    This week he has attended both training sessions and has had a positive impact on the players.
    Ioan is familiar with some of the squad from his Bangor City days and this has helped him to settle in very quickly with us. He has plenty of experience and understands the game well and also believes in my way of how the game should be played, which is great.
    “Ioan will come in and work alongside myself and Guy, he will take sessions and help with match day warm ups.
    “It is great for me knowing that I have Guy and Ioan who are both UEFA 'A' licensed coaches to lead on my philosophy in training. This will allow me more time to focus on managing the players and helping them develop and play the way I want.
    “It is exciting times for us , we are developing very well off the field and we must now start to put all the hard work off the pitch into positive results on it !!
    “There where other clubs interested in signing him but, after meeting with him and also plenty of phone calls, I am pleased to announce that he has chosen to be part of what we are building at Port. Come on Port!"

    Rhagolwg: Dinbych / Preview Denbigh Town
    Pnawn Sadwrn bydd Port yn ymweld â Dinbych. Bydd y gêm yn un allweddol wedi i‘r tîm dan gyflawni dros yr wythnosau diwetha Bu’r canlyniadau ar Y Traeth yn siomedig. Ar y llaw arall, oddi cartref, dim ond un gêm a gollwyd, a bydd yn bwysig gweld yr adfywiad yn dechrau pnawn Sadwrn. Bydd angen dangos ychydig o’r hyder a’r chwarae deniadol a welwyd ar ddechrau’r tymor.
    Cafodd Dinbych dymor rhagorol yn 2015/16 gyda Gareth Thomas yn rheoli, gan orffen yn y 3ydd safle.Ni brofwyd yr un llwyddiant eleni. Erbyn hyn mae Gareth Thomas wedi gadael ac apwyntiwyd Eddie Maurice Jones, un o reolwyr ifanc addawol y gynghrair, un a brofodd lwyddiant gyda Gresffordd. Ers iddo ddod cafodd y clwb gêm gyfartal 1-1, yr un fath â Port yn erbyn Penrhyncoch a buddugoliaeth dros Caersws, diolch i gôl hwyr Alan Bull. Bellach mae Dinbych dau le yn is na Port yn y tabl gyda 9 phwynt yn llai.
    Gêm pnawn Sadwrn fydd y 15fed o’r tymor, sef hanner ffordd drwy’r tymor. Gyda Port wedi llithro i’r 8 fed safle yn y tabl bydd angen anghofio’r gêm yng Nghwpan Cymru a chanolbwyntio ar ddringo’r tabl a phrofi fod sylw Craig Papirnyk (“.... dyma’r garfan orau inni hel at eu gilydd ers i mi fod a chyfrifoldeb amdani”) yn un cywir. C’mon Port!

    On Saturday Port return to league action with a visit to Central Park, Denbigh. This is a key fixture as Port have been under achieving of late, with home form a worry. In contrast they have only been beaten once on the road and at Denbigh they will be aiming to rekindle the kind of form they showed in the early part of the season.
    Denbigh had a great season in 2015/16 under Gareth Thomas, finishing in 3rd place but this season they have not had the best of times. The club parted company with Gareth Thomas and appointed Eddie Maurice Jones, one of the HGA’s up and coming managers who enjoyed considerable success with at Gresford. Since his arrival Denbigh, like Port, drew 1-1 with Penrhyncoch and, last time out they defeated Caersws with a late winner from Alan Bull. Denbigh now lie two places below Port with 9 points fewer.
    Saturday’s game is the 15th of the season and marks the half way mark in season 2016/17. Port have slipped to 8th place and will need to forget last week’s Welsh Cup defeat and once again start to fulfill manager Craig Papirnyk’s assertion “... it is the best squad we've assembled at the club during my reign in charge.” C’mon Port!.

    Pethau ar i fyny Dan19 / Progress at U19
    Roedd ymuno â Chynghrair Ddatblygol UGC am y tro cyntaf, ar ddechrau’r tymor hwn, yn gam anodd i garfan Dan 19 Port. Wedi’r cyfan roedd y clybiau eraill wedi cael sawl blwyddyn i addasu a datblygu. Ond ar ôl cyfnod anodd iawn mae yna arwyddion fod pethau ar i fyny.
    Mae’r ddwy gêm yn erbyn TNS -clwb llawn amser efo Academi safonol- yn linyn mesur da iawn o’r datblygiad hwn. Y tro cyntaf i’r ddwy garfan Dan 19 gyfarfod yn ôl ym mis Awst, collodd tîm ifanc Port yn drwm iawn, ond pnawn Sul diwethaf gwelwyd newid pendant. Er i TNS ennill eto, y tro yma cafwyd gêm gystadleuol â’r sgôr ar y diwedd yn 2-4.
    Roedd addasu i’r sialens fawr yma yn galw am ddyfalbarhad ac ymdrech fawr gan y chwaraewyr a’r hyfforddwyr. Diolch i waith caled y rheolwr Sion Eifion erbyn hyn mae pethau ar y cae yn dechrau troi.
    “Medrwn i ddim fod yn fwy balch o’r hogiau Dan19 nac oeddwn heddiw. Colli 4-2 i Academi TNS ond wedi datblygu cymaint mewn ychydig o fisoedd,” oedd sylw’r rheolwr ar ddiwedd y gêm pnawn Sul.
    Er fod llawer yn dal i’w wneud mae’r chwaraewyr newydd, arwyddwyd gan y rheolwr, yn amlwg yn cryfhau’r garfan. Roedd y canlyniad hwn yn dilyn gêm gyfartal yn erbyn Conwy a phob dymuniad da i’r hogiau. Gyda lwc a parhau â’r gwaith caled, bydd gemau cyfartal a canlyniadau da yn troi yn fuddugoliaethau. C’mon Port!

    When Port entered a U19 team in the Welsh Premier League for the first time at the start of the current season, it was always going to be a tough ask. Most of the other clubs had several years to adapt to this league but, after a very difficult start, the signs of progress are there to be seen.
    The two games against TNS -a full time club with a highly regarded Academy- are a good barometer of this progress. The first time the two clubs met at U19 level, back in August, the very young Port side shipped in goals but Sunday’s encounter showed a marked change. Despite ending in another win for TNS, this time it was a very competitive 2-4 scoreline.
    Adapting to this new and difficult challenge has required reslience and a massive effort from the players on the field as well as the coaching staff. Manager Sion Eifion is to be congratulated for his determined efforts and must have been delighted that progress is being reflected on the pitch.
    “Couldn't be prouder of my Port Academy U 19s boys today. Lost 4-2 to TNS Academy but they've come such a long way in a couple of months,” was the comment of a very pleased Sion Eifion following Sunday’s game.
    There is work still to be done but Sion Eifion is beginning to reap the rewards of his actions, bringing in new players to strengthen his squad. The good result against TNS followed a home draw with Conwy Borough and we wish the squad the best of luck in the games to come when draws and good results will surely turn to victories. Keep going lads C’mon Port!

    Sylwadau Paps yn dilyn y gêm Gwpan / Paps comments post-Net
    Isod mae Craig yn cymryd golwg yn ôl ar y gêm yn 3edd Rownd Cwpan Cymru gyda’i onestrwydd realistig arferol.

    Craig Papirnyk takes a look back at Saturday’s Welsh Cup tie with his usual down to earth honesty and realism.

    “I just wanted to say a few words regarding the game Saturday
    “Firstly, my I thank all of the travelling supporters who made the long journey down south to support us! It was tremendous seeing them turn up in high spirits and really enjoying the occasion of being there to get behind us. I take my hat off to everyone of them, it really is appreciated by myself and my the team.
    “It saddens me still today that we lost after they've given up a whole day to support us.
    “The game itself we knew was going to be difficult, Met are a very well organised and a fit side. They have their pick of the best players from the university and the facilities at their disposal are of the highest quality . I must admit I was envious of their set up, the facility , their staff behind the scenes, it was all very impressive .
    “We however had prepared extremely well for the game , and I was confident we could get something from it if we played to our best . Unfortunately,and still it hurts today, knowing that the players didn't quite reach the level they can. I am not being over critical of my players , I have an honest and open relationship with them and they are all in agreement that on the day we didn't perform well enough or to our potential ! We didn't keep the ball moving like I know we can , we allowed Met to come at us and we didn't do enough to take control of the game .
    “We gave Cardiff Met the respect they deserved but during the 90mins we didn't give ourselves enough respect to believe that we could win the game , I take nothing away from Met who were the worthy winners and best team on the day .
    “In all fairness they are the fittest team I have witnessed live at this level and that's credit to them. We now will take the positives from the experience, it has been a good one for us. We know now where we need to be in terms of the players’ individual fitness levels.
    “I believe we have the quality in this squad, and it is the best squad we've assembled at the club during my reign in charge. Met was a wake up for us and we will now look to push on with the league campaign and finish as high as we possibly can .
    “We also have the league cup quarter final to look forward too and that now becomes a high priority for us to try and bring the success that the fans and club deserves .
    “We move on now, Denbigh is our next challenge and the squad know how important a game it is for us . We are again under achieving in the league and we must begin to pick up points .
    “I will ensure the lads are ready for the game this coming weekend and we will look to bounce back and send a positive message out, that we are still here and fighting . “

    COME ON PORT !

    Bws-Mini Newydd / Our new Mini-Bus
    “Cawn droi fyny i’r gêm ddydd Sadwrn mewn steil!!” meddai y Cadeirydd, Phil Jones. Roedd yn ddyn hapus iawn wrth iddo gymryd perchnogaeth o fws-mini newydd. Ond mae hefyd yn awyddus iawn i ddiolch i ddau gefnogwr hael, sef Meirion Evans, Terfynnau a John David Owen o Gest View Van Sales.
    Dywedodd Phil, “Er y byddwn yn talu am y bws-mini dros gyfnod o 4 blynedd ni fuasai wedi bod yn bosib o gwbl heb eu cyfraniad sylweddol nhw.
    “Dwi'n gobeithio y bydd pawb,yn enwedig y chwaraewyr, yn gwerthfawrogi’r bws newydd -sydd dwi'n meddwl yn edrych yn smart iawn.
    “Mae y ddau gefnogwr wedi bod yn andros o ffeind a mae’r clwb eitha’ bach yma yn eithriadol o lwcus i gael ffasiwn gefnogwyr, a mawr iawn yw ein diolch iddynt - y cwbwl mae y ddau yn gofyn mewn ad-daliad ydi llwyddiant ar y cae. Felly dewch hogia !! C'mon Port”

    The players will be turing up for Saturday’s game in some style. Club Chairman, Phil Jones, was a happy man as he took possession of a new mini-bus ahead of the visit to Cardiff Met. He also emphasised how indebted the club was to two generous supporters. Meirion Evans. Terfynnau and Jhn David Owen. Gest View Van Sales.
    Phil revealed. “Although we will be paying for the mini-bus over a 4 year period it would not have been possible to go ahead without their substantial contribution.
    “I hope that everyone, but especially the players, will appreciate the new bus – which looks very smart. The two supporters have shown great generosity .
    “This relatively small club is extremely fortunate to have such supporters and we are very grateful to them – all they ask for in return is some success on the pitch. So over to you lads and C’mon Port!

    Met Caerdydd yn y Gwpan / Down the A470 to CF23 6XD
    Bore Sadwrn bydd Port yn teithio lawr yr A470 i daclo gwrthwynebwyr o’r Uwch Gynghrair yn Rownd 3 Cwpan Cymru. Mae Met Caerdydd ar rhediad arbennig yn ddiweddar a bydd yn gêm anodd iawn ar y cae 3G ar Gampws Cyncoed. Wedi iddynt ddod dros y gemau cyntaf ar y lefel uwch, mae’r clwb wedi dringo’r tabl yn gyson, a bellach yn y 5ed safle ac yn debygol iawn o orffen yn y rhan uchaf cyn bydd y gynghrair yn rhannu. Bydd eu llygad wedyn ar Ewrop. Mae’r Met bellach heb golli adref yn y 7 gêm ddiwethaf.
    Fel rhan o’i ddyletswyddau gyda ‘Sgorio’ mae Tommie Collins wedi gweld Y Met nifer o weithiau. Dyma ddywedodd amdanynt yn y rhaglen swyddogol “ .... they are proving to be formidable opponents..... Jordan Lam looked impressive with his pace and trickey .... Emlyn Lewis is a rugged no nonsense centre half ... they work for each other, press and are extremely fit....... Port will need to be on top form to take anything from the tie.”
    Y Met fydd y ffefrynnau bnawn Sadwrn ac wedi iddynt dan gyflawni yn eu gemau diweddar bydd angen i Port godi eu gêm a phrofi mae rhywbeth dros dro fu hyn. Wedi’r cyfan mae digon o dalent yn y garfan. Efallai mae newid o gemau cynghrair i gyffro’r cwpan fydd y sbardun gorau i’r tîm. Mae llwyddiant yn y gwpan yn dod i glybiau sy’n medru codi eu gêm ar y dydd, felly C’mon Port!!

    CPD Porthmadog ar daith! / Porthmadog FC on tour!

    On Saturday Port will travel down the A470 to take on Welsh Premier opposition in the Welsh Cup Round 3. Cardiff Met are a form team and will provide stiff opposition on their 3G pitch at the Cyncoed Campus. After taking the first few games to settle in, the club have steadily climbed the table and now lie in 5th place with the likelihood of a top half finish ahead of the split. Their eye will then be on possible European qualification. They are unbeaten at Cyncoed in their last 7 league fixtures.
    Tommie Collins has seen the Met several times this season as part of his ‘Sgorio’ duties. Writing in the Match Programme he says “ .... they are proving to be formidable opponents..... Jordan Lam looked impressive with his pace and trickery .... Emlyn Lewis is a rugged no nonsense centre half ... they work for each other, press and are extremely fit....... Port will need to be on top form to take anything from the tie.”
    Clearly Port will start as underdogs and after under achieving over the last few games they will need to prove that this is a temporary thing and that they can spring back to form. There is plenty of talent in the squad. A break from the league could be the ideal time to reproduce some of the early season form. This is a Welsh Cup tie and progress in this competition will come to the teams who raise their game and perform on the day so C’mon Port!!

    Llysenw i Port? / A Nickname for Port?
    Mae gan nifer o glybiau lysenwau neu hoff enw, yn bennaf yn cyfieirio at nodwedd arbennig yn yr ardal leol ee Caergybi /Harbourmen, Prestatyn / Seasiders Treffynnon / Wellmen neu weithiau gall ddod o liw y crysau mae clwb yn wisgo ee Caernarfon / Caneris. Ond does gan CPD Porthmadog ddim enw o’r fath yma, er mai ‘Port’ y defnyddir Fel ddywedodd y cadeirydd, Phil Jones, “Nid llysenw ydy Port ond fersiwn byr o’r enw. Byddwn wrth fy modd i’n gweld â llysenw sydd yn ein cysylltu ag un o’r nifer fawr o nodweddion addas yn yr ardal.”
    Cychwynnodd y diddordeb wedi sgwrs anffurfiol yn y clwb yn dilyn gêm. Gwnaed y cynnig fod y clwb yn gofyn i gefnogwyr am eu syniadau. Aeth y peth ymhellach wrth i un o noddwyr y clwb, Andrew Kimes o gwmni Agweddau ar Eryri, gynnig gwobr am y cynnig gorau a hwnnw wedyn yn cael ei dderbyn yn swyddogol gan y clwb. Cewch gyfle i feddwl am y peth ar y siwrnai hir i lawr yr A470!
    Diolch i haelioni Andrew Kimes bydd yna ddewis i’r ennillydd rhwng Print A3 neu cynfas 26 X 16 o’r Oriel. Cewch eu gweld ar wefan Oriel y Castell sef: imagesofsnowdonia.com
    Dewch a’ch syniadau a gyrrwch nhw at gwefeistr@cpdporthmadog.com neu philjones.portfc@yahoo.co.uk erbyn diwedd Rhagfyr. Byddai’n bosib wedyn gyhoeddi enillydd erbyn y gêm ar Y Traeth ar 7 Ionawr.

    Many clubs have nicknames or favourite names which usually refer to a feature of their local area eg Holyhead / Harbourmen, Prestatyn / Seasiders. Holywell Town / The Wellmen or alternatively perhaps a reference to the colours worn by the club eg Caernarfon / Canaries. CPD Porthmadog has no real current nickname, though it is usually given as ‘Port’ but, as chairman Phil Jones says, “Port is not really nickname, more a shortened form of the name but I really would like to see the club adopt a nickname which refers to one of the many suitable features in the local area.”
    Interest in the topic has taken off after an impromtu discussion in the clubhouse following a recent match. A suggestion was made that it should be thrown open to supporters to bring forward their ideas.The matter was given further legs following Andrew Kimes, of Aspects of Snowdonia and joint main sponsor of the club, offering a prize to the best suggestion which could be then be officially adopted by the club. The long journey to Cardiff Met might well give you a chance to think about it! The prize on offer, thanks to the generosity of Andrew Kimes, is a choice of an A3 print or a 24 x 16 canvas from his gallery. These can be found on the Castle Gallery’s website imagesofsnowdonia.com
    Get thinking and bring forward your suggestions by the end of December to gwefeistr@cpdporthmadog.com or philjones.portfc@yahoo.co.uk
    An announcement could then be made by the time of the next home game on 7 January to a club official or e-mail

    Rhagolwg / Preview: v Penrhnycoch
    Pnawn Sadwrn nesaf byddwn yn croesawu CPD Penrhyncoch i’r Traeth. Hon fydd ein gêm olaf ar y Traeth yn 2016, gyda’r nesa’ ddim tan y 7fed Ionawr 2017!! Dyma’r tro cyntaf i Benrhyncoch ymweld ers iddynt ad-ennill eu lle yn yr HGA fel pencampwyr Cynghrair y Canolbarth 2015/16. Ni fydd yn gêm hawdd gan fod clwb Cae Baker bob amser yn wrthwynebwyr cystadleuol.
    Canlyniadau cymysg mae Penrhyn wedi cael hyd yma, yn ennill tair o’u 13 gêm . Cafwyd y canlyniad gorau wrth roi curfa o 7-1 i’r Wyddgrug. Daeth y ddwy fuddugolieth arall yn erbyn Rhuthun a, rhybudd i Port, dros Gresffordd. Hefyd yn ddiweddar cafwyd perfformiadau da, er yn colli yn erbyn ceffylau blaen y gynghrair; Prestatyn a’r Fflint. Fel Port mae Penrhyncoch wedi cyrraedd Rownd 3 o Gwpan Cymru ac fel Port hefyd yn gorfod teithio, yn eu hachos nhw i’r Rhyl.
    Yng ngharfan Penrhyn eleni mae Mark Gornall a Siôn Meredith, dau â chwaraeodd dros Port yng nghyfnod Tomi Morgan ar y Traeth. Hefyd mae gan y glwb gysylltiadau efo clwb Aberystwyth gyda Gari Lewis, cyn chwaraewr Aber, yn rheoli Penrhyncoch a Siôn James ac Antonio Corbisiero yn y garfan.
    Siomedig oedd colli yn erbyn Gresffordd – y 4ydd tro i golli ar y Traeth y tymor hwn- yn enwedig â’r talent amlwg sydd yn y garfan. Bydd Port yn awyddus i daro ’nol pnawn Sadwrn gyda’r gêm Gwpan yn dilyn wythnos nesaf. C’mon Port!

    Next Saturday Penrhyncoch FC will be the visitors to the Traeth. This will be our last home game of 2016 and we will not play at home again until 7 January 2017!! We welcome the Roosters back to the Traeth for the first time for two seasons. They regained their HGA status being promoted as Spar Mid-Wales champions. The Aberystwyth area club have always been tough opponents and nothing is likely to change this time round either.
    Penrhyn have had mixed results so far in their come-back season, winning three of their 13 league games. Their best result was a 7-1 thumping of Mold Alex, with their other wins coming over Ruthin Town and, last week’s winners at the Traeth, Gresford Athletic. They have however put in two good recent performnces against in-form opponents, Prestatyn Town and Flint town United, unlucky to lose by the odd goal in five on both occasions. Like Port, Penrhyncoch have progressed to the 3rd Round of the JD Welsh Cup. In Round 3 they, like Port, will have to take on WPL opponents, in their case, Rhyl FC.
    In the Penrhyn squad are Mark Gornall and Sion Meredith, who also appeared for Port during Tomi Morgan’s stint as Port manager. The club also has close connections with Aberystwyth Town and they are managed by former Aberystwyth Town regular, Gari Lewis while among the former Town players in the current squad at Cae Baker are Antonio Cobisiero and Sion James.
    Last week’s disappointing home defeat to Gresford makes it a total four defeats at the Traeth which is difficult to explain away given the talent in the squad. Next Saturday’s game will now asume even greater importance, especially with the Welsh Cup tie at Cardiff Met now looming. C’mon Port
