You can support Michael’s sponsored row and massive effort on behalf of local sport on the Just Giving website www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/michael-holt-5 07/06/23 Cynghrair 17 ckwb / 17 club Cymru North Mae Bwrdd Cenedlaethol y Gymdeithas Bêl-droed wedi datrys problem anodd drwy gynyddu maint y Cymru North i 17 clwb ar gyfer y tymor nesa’. Cododd y broblem oherwydd i ddau glwb o’r gogledd, Airbus a’r Fflint, golli eu lle yn y Cymru Premier. Un datrysiad posib oedd symud Llanidloes i’r Cymru South, datrysiad nad oedd yn plesio’r Daffs o gwbl. Golyga cynghrair 17 clwb bydd un clwb heb gêm ar bob penwythnos. Anodd plesio pawb, ond tybed a fyddai cadw un clwb fyny i wneud cynghrair 18 clwb wedi bod yn fwy derbyniol? Dim ond gofyn! Bydd y datrysiad 17 clwb yn golygu fod un clwb ychwanegol yn mynd i lawr ar ddiwedd 2023/24 er mwyn adfer cynghrair 16 clwb yn 2024/25. The FAW National Leagues Board have solved a difficult problem by increasing the Cymru North to 17 clubs for next season. The problem arose following the relegation of two northern clubs, Airbus and Flint, to the Cymru North. One solution considered was, switching Llanidloes to the Cymru South, a solution which understandably did not plearse the Daffs. A 17 club league of course means that one club will sit-out each Matchday, not a popular situation either. It ia not easy to please everybody but perhaps retaining the top relegated club to make an 18 club league would have been a more satisfactory solution. Just a thought!! The 17 club solution will mean an extra relegated club at the end of 2023/24 to restore a 16 club league for 2024/25. 02/06/23 Gêm Gyfelligar Ail-dîm / Reserve Friendly Bydd yr Ail-dîm, a ail ffurfiwyd yn ddiweddar, yn chwarae ei gêm gyfeillgar gynta’ ar Y Traeth ar Sadwrn, 1af Gorffennaf am 11.30am yn erbyn y cymdogion CPD Penrhyndeudraeth.

Here is the ststement by manager Craig Pa[irnyk released today I am delighted to announce that we will be having a Reserve Team once again at Porthmadog for the 2023/24 season, having a reserves side has always been important to me as the First team manager, it provides young local talent the opportunity to grow and develop and to create a pathway for these players to play senior football with the focus on getting into the First Team, in addition to this the young players will support the 1st team cover as the season progresses. I am pleased to announce that the new management team will be STUART ROGERS and TRYSTAN DAVIES as Managers along with DAVE HARDING as Assistant, the club are delighted with these appointments, Stuart has a wealth of playing experience who will play a key role in linking the reserves to the 1st team environment, Trystan has recently gained his Uefa B Licence qualification and has experience coaching local youngsters as well as neighbours Penrhyndeudraeth and Dave comes in to support the two with having a lot of local playing experience. I am looking forward to working closely with all 3 of the lads, we will create one big management team with the 3 joining Myself, Ben, Steve and Harvey as we work together to establish two competitive teams striving for the same success. Stu –. I am Delighted and thankful to Paps and the club for giving me this opportunity, I can't wait to get going, meeting the lads and,hopefully giving them the platform to impress and make the step up to the 1st team, I am looking forward to passing on my experience and starting my pathway into management, especially at a club like Porthmadog. . Trystan - I'm happy to be part of the Porthmadog management team. It was an opportunity I had to take not only for my own developelment as a coach, but most importantly the chance to develope young local players that can be part of Porthmadog's future. We have many young talented footballers in the area and will be working with Porthmadog Juniors to make sure they are ready for the big step. I can't wait to get started and working with Craig and his management team. Exited for the season ahead and for the future of Porthmadog. Dave – It is a pleasure to come in and support Stu & Trystan, it is also an honour to be part of Porthmadog FC, I am looking forward to working with Paps and the 1st team and excited to develop and support the next generation of players at Y Traeth.

(gan/by Dylan Ellis) 29/04/23 TARIAN y CANMLWYDDIANT / CENTENARY SHIELD Llongyfarchiadau i Cian Pritchard a Kian hughes a oedd yn rhan o garfan Cymru Dan 18 a lwyddodd i gadw Tarian y Canmlwyddiant am 2023. Yn y gêm ola o’r gystadleuaeth cafodd Cymru a Lloegr gêm gyfartal 1-1 mewn gêm a chwaraewyd neithiwr yn Hednesford. Isod gweler rhestr canlyniadau tîm Cymru. Cymru 3-1 Yr Alban / Scotland Cymru 3-1 Gogledd Iwerddon / Northern Ireland Gweriniaeth Iwerddon / Republic of Ireland 3-4 Cymru Lloegr / England 1-1 Cymru Congratulations to Cian Pritchard and Kian Hughes who were part of the Wales U 18 squad that retained the Centenary Shield for 2023. In the final match of the competition Wales and England drew 1-1 in the game played at Hednesford last night. Above are the results for Wales. 28/04/23 TRWY’R GIAT / THROUGH the TURNSTILES 2022/23 Nodwedd bwysig o’r tymor a aeth heibio, bu y gefnogaeth a dderbyniodd y clwb drwy’r gatiau. Tynnwyd sylw at hyn yn gyson gan y tîm reoli a’r chwaraewyr, a chafodd ei werthfawrogi a’i groesawu gan y Bwrdd a phawb yn y clwb. Cyfanswm y cefnogwyr a ddaeth drwy’r clwydi dros y tymor cyfan ydy 4,258. Mae hyn yn gwneud cyfartaledd parchus iawn o 284 y gêm (cynghrair). Yn fawr o syndod daeth y dorf fwya’ o’r tymor i’r Traeth ar gyfer y gêm gyda’r pencampwyr CPD Bae Colwyn, torf o 431. Torf arall dda iawn oedd honno ar gyfer ymwelaid Treffynnon, clwb arall a gafodd dymor arbennig, Daeth 348 drwy’r giat. Mae’r ffaith mai torf isa’ oedd 213 (yn erbyn Bwcle) yn tanlinellu maint derbyniol y torfeydd eleni. Cafodd y gêm gyda Bwcle ei hadrefnu i noson arbennig o ddiflas ym mis Chwefror. Efallai byddai tipyn mwy wedi gwerhfawrogi dyddiad hwyrach yn y tymor i’r gem honno!! Bu pedair torf o 300+, y gemau gyda, Bae Colwyn , Treffynnon, Llandudno a Chaergybi. Sylwer na fydd dau o’r clybiau yma yn y Cymru North y tymor nesa’. Llwyddwyd i ddenu torfeydd da, er y bu yn dymor digon anodd i Port. Mae hyn yn siwr yn deyrnged i safon a phoblogrwydd y Cymru North ac hefyd i’r cyfleusterau ar y Traeth sydd yn cael eu uwchraddio’n gyson, gan wneud ymweliad a’r Traeth yn rhan o’r penwythnos i gymaint o bobl. Wrth i’r garfan ddatblygu, a mwy o lwyddiant ddod, bydd yn ddiddorol gweld y torfeydd yn tyfu mewn clwb sy’n rhan bwysig o’r gymuned. Wrth wneud cymariaeth rhwng y ffigyrau uchod â chlybiau yn y Cymru Premier (Phase 1) gwelwn fod cyfartaledd o 282 yn well na 6 (50%!) o’r glybiau yna. Felly mae yna rhywbeth pendant i’r clwb adeiladu arno at y dyfodol. One of the features of the 2022/23 season has been the support the club has received through the turnstiles. This is a feature -both home and away- which has regularly been remarked upon by both the management team and players and welcomed and appreciated by the Board and all at the club. The total number of spectators to pass through the gates for the 15 home Cymru North fixtures is 4,258. This makes rhe average gate for the season a highly respectable 284. The highest gate of the season at the Traeth came, unsurprisingly, for the clash with the eventual champions and double winners Colwyn Bay when the attendance was 431. An excellent attendance also came to the game against another success story of the season, with 348 passing through the gate for the visit of Holywell Town. The fact that the lowest gate was 213. (v Buckley) underlines how well attended games have been this season. That game was re-arranged for a miserable February night when a later date might have attracted a better crowd. There have been four 300+ attendances which came in the matches with Colwyn Bay, Holywell Town, Holyhead Hotspurs and Llandudno.It should be noted that two of these clubs will not be part of the Cymru North next season. These excellent figures have been achieved against a backdrop of a difficult season which is both a complement to the standard and popularity of the Cymru North as well as the fact that a visit to the Traeth and its ever improving facilities is now a regular event for so many local people. As the squad develops and climbs the table it will be interesting to see how the attendances grow in a club strongly based within its community. If we compare the above figures with attendances at Cymru Premier level (Phase1) we find that Port have a better average than 6 of those clubs (50%!}. Certainly a figure to build on as we look to the future. 26/04/23 Gêm Codi Arian @ Bêl-droed ieuenctid / Fund Raising Challenge Match Colli eich pêl-droed yn barod? Dyma’r ateb.

Ond, er iddynt ddominyddu’r meddiant bu’n rhaid iddynt weithio’n galed am eu buddugoliaeth, gyda’r canlyniad yn y fantol tan i 73 o funudau fynd heibio. Dyna pryd rwydodd Y Bae 3edd i fynd a’r sgôr i 3-1. Yn erbyn rhediad y chwarae, Port sgoriodd gynta’ ar ôl 23 munud gyda Meilir Williams yn rhwydo (ei 9fed o’r tymor). Munudau yn unig yn ddiweddarach daeth Bae Colwyn yn ôl yn gyfartal diolch i beniad Matty Hill. Brwydrodd Port i aros yn y gêm, gyda Morgan Jones yn gwneud nifer o arbediadau gwych. Llwyddodd Port gadw’r sgôr yn gyfartal hyd at 62 munud, pan rhwydodd Sam Downey. Wedyn sgoriodd Craig Lindfield o’r smotyn gan roi diwedd ar obeithion Port, a sicrhau’r fod y gwpan yn mynd i’r Bae. Llongyfarchiadau i Fae Colwyn a phob lwc yn y Cymru Premier Diolch hefyd i glwb y Bala am eu trefniadau ardderchog Adroddiad llawn Treflyn i'w weld yn yr adran Adroddiadau . The Cymru North champions went on to complete the double at Maes Tegid. However, despite dominating the possession, they were made to work for their win. The result remained in doubt until the the 73rd minute when The Bay netted from the spot to take the score to 3-1 and end Port’s determined battle to stay in the game. Against the run of play it was Port who went ahead on 23 mins when Meilir Williams netted, (his 9th goal of the season). But the lead only lasted for minutes before Matty Hill headed the equaliser. Port battled to stay in the game with Morgan Jones making several outstanding saves.Sam Downey netted on 62' to give the Bay the lead for the first time. A 73rd Craig Lindfield penalty doubled the advantage and sealed Port’s fate. Congratulations to The Bay on an outstanding season and best of luck in the Cymru Premier. Thanks to the Bala club for their excellent arrangements on the day Treflyn's full match report can be found in the Reports section 20/04/23 FFEINAL y Gogledd / Northern FINAL: Maes Tegid, Y Bala (LL23 7AF) 2.30pm Pnawn Sadwrn bydd Ffeinal y Gogledd, Cwpan y Gynghrair sydd yn cael ei noddi gan Wasanaeth Gwaed Cymru, yn cael ei chwarae rhwng BAE COLWYN a PORT ar Faes Tegid Y Bala. Os wnaiff y gêm ddilyn patrwm gweddill y tymor gallwn ddisgwyl buddugoliaeth gyfforddus i bencampwyr y Cymru North, sydd wedi cael tymor arbennig yn ennill 27 o’u 30 gêm gynghrair ac yn colli ond unwaith. Ond bydd Port yn teithio i’r Bala gan obeithio, ar un pnawn am 90 munud, gall y patrwm arferol fynd drwy’r ffenest. Mae o’n digwydd weithiau a’r ffefrynnau yn baglu mewn gemau cwpan. Tybed a wnaiff ddigwydd pnawn Sadwrn? Mae Ffeinal bob amser yn cynhyrfu cefnogwyr ac, i gefnogwyr Port, ddaw ac atgofion o ddiwrnod o Wanwyn braf ar Wern Mynach, Y Bermo pan welsant berfformaid sydd yn dal i ddisgleirio yn fyw yn y cof. Gorffennodd Port y tymor hwn ar nodyn uchel, gyda chyfraniad Ifan Emlyn i ddwy o’r goliau yn tanlinellu gymaint mae’r clwb wedi ei fethu, wrth iddo fod allan yn hir efo anaf. Dipyn o sialens fydd hi pnawn Sadwrn, gyda fawr neb yn disgwyl ond un canlyniad. C’MON PORT!!! Saturday sees the Welsh Blood Service sponsored League Cup Northern Final between COLWYN BAY and Port, played at Maes Tegid, Bala. If the game goes according to the form book then we can expect a comfortable victory for the Cymru North champions, who have enjoyed a magnificent season; 27 wins out of their 30 league fixtures and beaten only once. Port, will however enter the fray in the knowledge that, in a one-off game, the form book sometimes goes out of the window and, on Saturday afternoon, they will keep the faith that this will be one of those days. A Final always excites supporters and, for Port supporters, it will bring memories of a beautiful spring day at Wern Mynach, Barmouth, when they witnessed a performance from their club that still shines btightly in their memories. Port ended their League programme on a high with Ifan Emlyn’s two assists reminding supporters how much he has been missed in an injury ridden season. Port face a huge challenge with the odds stacked against them. Nevertheless: C’MON PORT!!!! 20/04/23 IFAN EMLYN: Tîm yr Wythnos / Team of the Week Llongyfarchiadau i Ifan Emlyn, sydd wedi ei enwi yn Tîm yr Wythnos y JD Cymru Leagues. Mae hyn yn dilyn perfformiad arbennig yn y fuddugoliaeth o 3-0 dros Llamidloes, ar y Traeth pnawn Sadwrn, yn y gêm gynghrair ola’ o’r tymor. Cafwyd perfformiad o safon gan Ifan yn cynorthwyo i greu dwy o’r goliau. Congratulations to Ifan Emlyn who has been named in the JD Cymru Leagues, Team of the Week. This follows his excellent performance in the 3-0 victory over Llanidloes at the Traeth on Saturday, in Port’s final league fivture of the season. A quality performance from Ifan where he provided assists for two of the Port goals. 19/04/23 Y Llwybr i’r Ffeinal / Path to the Final Rhuthun 1-2 Bae Colwyn Bay Bae Colwyn Bay 3-0 Treffynnon / Holywell Town Bae Colwyn Bay 4-1 Cegidfa / Guilsfield Port 3-1 Derwyddon Cefn Druids Y Wyddgrug / Mold 2-4 Port Port 1-1 Y Waun / Chirk (5-3 p) PRIS MYNEDIAD / ADMISSION: £5 Consesiynau / Concessions £3 17/04/23 Bws i’r Bala / A coach to the FINAL Mae’r clwb yn awyddus i drefnu dau fws 53 sedd i’r Ffeinal yn Y Bala.

With the 2022/23 season now drawing to a close the Management Team of Craig Papirnyk, Steve Williams and Ben Ogilvy reflect on how it has all turned out, Paps: Season’s Reflection: -Well, here we are the final league game of the season 2022/23 ! It's been a hell of a journey; we've had some real highs and some really bad lows - more so in all honesty !! However, we remain in Tier 2, we have a cup final to look forward to next week and I for one couldn't be happier for this club, it's supporters and hard-working volunteers. The season has been difficult, key players getting injured at the same time, who have then struggled for a long periods to regain match fitness and some have literally just been getting by from week to week. Not ideal, especially at his level. It started to show after Xmas, heavy legs, but not through lack of fitness or trying but physically unable to get back to the levels required simply down to the fact injuries and niggles continued to hinder so many of our boys, The fact most of the squad only had a two-week break from the previous season speaks volumes, they all now need that rest and recovery and time away to reflect. My job is to continue rebuilding the squad, improving in areas we need so we can look to push on next season to compete further up the table but I thank my players for achieving our objective, to a man they have dug deep and produced when we most needed it, they turn up no matter what, they have been a credit to the club all season and have never given up on the objective. We have had some great results, produced some top performances and there have been lots of positives for this squad, the players will have learnt so much this season. I would like to thank everyone involved with the club, the loyal supporters who travel away and to the hundreds that come to the Traeth every week, you are the heart beat that keeps the club going and I hope it long continues, to the board, volunteers and everyone I thank you so much for everything you do. What a club we have, let's all go together now to the cup final at Maes Tegid, enjoy the occasion and celebrate what has ultimately a successful 1st season back at Tier 2 for us. Diolch o Galon ! Paps Midges Season’s Reflection: It’s hard to believe that we have already reached the season’s finale. It only seems like yesterday that we travelled down to Victoria Park to open the season and play against Llanidloes and come away with a deserved three points. It’s been an eventful season since with many highs and some frustrations but ultimately it’s been a success for us as a club. The players have been excellent throughout and have really brought into what we are trying to achieve with excellent numbers in training on a weekly basis and have run through brick walls collectively for us as coaches and the badge on the shirt. Onto the cup final now next week and bring that trophy home! The Traeth Faithful: I have to again give a massive shout out again to our supporters and the club’s volunteers though as they’ve been unbelievable week in week out this season. The numbers that travel to every away game and how they get behind us both home and away is brilliant and they really are our 12th man. They have played a massive part to help us secure our place in the league and now we need everyone to help push for that league cup trophy. I personally cannot wait to get going already next season and help develop the team onto the next level. Diolch ichi gyd a c’mon Port!!! Midge Ben Ogilvy’s Season’s Reflection: Here we are the last league game of the season and what a season it has been. Coming up from Tier 3 we knew how much of a challenge we faced coming into a strong Tier 2 Cymru North league especially with a relatively young & inexperienced squad. We started the season well despite only having a very short turn around from last season after the playoff win and that start ultimately helped us secure our place in the Cymru North for next season which was our main objective for the season. We had a poor spell in and around Christmas time however the squad stayed strong we remained positive and we kept working hard to get us over the line and we achieved that with a few games to play so that’s a testament to the players. A special thank you to all the hard working volunteers and board members for their ever present hard work & support week in week out, we are extremely lucky to have such hard working & committed people involved in the club. The supporters who have turned up week in week out and especially those who have also followed us away from home deserve a big thank you, the players and us as a management team fully appreciate them giving up their time to follow us so thank you to them. Finally we end the season with a huge occasion ahead of us next week in the WBS League Cup final against league Champions Colwyn Bay at Maes Tegid, This is a welcome bonus for our season having achieved our main objectives, it promises to be a great occasion, one we are really looking forward to and one hopefully everyone involved with the club will enjoy after their hard work & support all season. Cmon Port! Ben 13/04/23 Symud y ffeinal i Bala / Final moved to Bala Cyhoeddwyd heddiw y bydd rownd derfynnol Cwpan Gwasanaeth Gwaed (Gogledd), bellach yn cael ei chwarae ar Faes Tegid, y Bala. Yn wreiddiol, roedd y gem rhwng Port a Bae Colwyn i fod i'w chwarae ar yr Ofal yng Nghaernarfon. Does dim newid i amserlen y gem - 22ain Ebrill am 2:30pm. It was announced today that the final of the Welsh Blood Service Cup (North), will now be played at Maes Tegid, Bala. The match, between Port and Colwyn Bay, was originally due to be played at the Oval, Caernarfon. There is no change to the date or kick off time - 22nd April at 2:30pm. 14/04/23 Kian a Cian yng ngharfan Gymru / Port pair in squad for Wales win Yr wythnos hon, roedd Cian Pritchard a Kian Hughes unwaith eto yn rhan o garfan Ysgolion Cymru Dan 18. Yn y gêm ym Mae Colwyn sicrhaodd garfan Cymru eu 3ydd buddugoliaeth yn y Tlws Canmlwyddiant, yn erbyn Yr Alban y tro yma. Y sgôr terfynol oedd Cymru 3-1 YrAlban Kian Hughes and Cian Pritchard were again part of the Wales Schools U18 squad this week at Colwyn Bay. Wales recorded their 3rd Centenary Shield win beating Scotland Schools U18 by 3-1. 11/04/23 LLANIDLOES TOWN: Sad / Sat @ Y Traeth 2.30pm Noddwr / Match Sponsors: Hayden E Williams Syrfeiwyr Siartredig / Chartered Surveyors Bydd diweddglo tymor 2022/23 yn cymryd lle ar y Traeth pnawn Sadwrn, gyda ymweliad Llanidloes â’r Traeth. Yn Llanidloes, nol ym mis Awst, cychwynnodd y tymor gyda buddugoliaeth 3-2 i Port diolch i goliau hwyr gan Rhys Alun a Callum Parry. Ers y fuddugliaeth honno dim ond 8 buddugoliaeth arall sydd wedi cael eu hychwaengu. Bydd Llanidloes, sydd un lle o dan Port yn y tabl, yn dod i’r gêm hon wedi buddugoliaeth dda o 3-2 dros Y Wyddgrug ond wedyn yn colli 3-0 yn erbyn Prestatyn. Tra siom gafodd Port yn colli o 3-1 yn Gresffordd gyda’r canlyniad yma yn golygu eu bod yn llithro un lle i 11eg. Un o’r ychydig agweddau positif oedd gôl gynta y chwaraewr ifanc talentog Kian Hughes. Meddai Trefyn Jones yn ei adroddiad “..... ergyd isel wych o’r tu allan i’r bocs, yn dilyn gwaith rhagorol ar yr asgell gan yr Alex Boss diflino.” Un peth sydd wedi’i setlo ydy fod Port yn ddiogel yn y Cymru North er waetha’r problemau a fedrai godi os bydd dau glwb o’r gogledd yn disgyn o’r Cymru Premier. Yn dilyn tymor o frwydro bydd y ddau glwb yn edrych i orffen y tymor ar nodyn uchel. C’mon Port! The 2022/23 League finale will take place at the Traeth on Saturday when Llanidloes Town are the visitors. The season also started at Llanidloes, where Port made a winning 3-2 start thanks to late goals by Rhys Alun and Callum Parry. The season overall has largely been a disappointment with just a further 8 league wins being recorded. Llanidloes, one place below Port in the table, come into this fixture on the back of a good 3-2 victory over Mold Alex followed by a 3-0 defeat to Prestatyn. For Port, it was a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Gresford. This defeat saw them drop a further place in the table to 11th spot. One of the few redeeming features of this game was a first goal for the highly promising teenager Kai Hughes (inset). His goal described by Treflyn Jones in his match report as “ .....a wonderful low shot from outside the box after excellent work on the wing by the tireless Alex Boss.” One matter has been settled in the last days. Even if two north Wales clubs are demoted from the Cymru Premier, Port’s place in the Cymru North is now assured. Following a season of struggles, both teams will no doubt look to end a high. C’mon Port!! 10/04/23 Cwpan Gwasanaeth Gwaed (Y De) / Welsh Blood Service Cup (South) Barri enillodd Ffeinal Y De o Gwpan Gwasanaeth Gwaed y Gynghrair o 1-0 dros Briton Ferry Llansawel. Felly Barri fydd yn cyfarfod enillwyr Port v Bae Colwyn yn Ffeinal Haen 2. Barry Town Utd were winners, over Briton Ferry Llansawel) by 1-0 in the Welsh Blood Service League Cup South Final. The winners of the Port v Colwyn Bay northern Final will therefore meet Barry in the Tier 2 final. 05/04/23 GRESFFORDD: Gwener / Friday Y GRAIG / THE ROCK (Cefn Druids) 7.30pm.(LL14 3YF) Gyda tymor 2022/23 yn symud yn dawel tua’r terfyn bydd Port, a nhw bellach yn rhydd o beryglon disgyn yn ôl i lawr, yn teithio i chwarae Gresffordd yn y gêm oddi cartref ola’ o’r tymor. Bellach mae Gresffordd wedi gadael eu cartref hir dymor yn Clappers Lane ac wedi cychwyn ar drefniant rhannu cae gyda Derwyddon Cefn, ac yno, ar Y Graig, bydd gêm nos Wener yn cael ei chwarae. Pan gyfarfu’r ddau glwb ar y Traeth, yn ôl ar dechrau’r tymor, sicrhaodd Gresffordd y 3 phwynt diolch i beniad hwyr Adam Hesp. Nos Wener bydd y ddau glwb yn edrych i orffen y tymor ar nodyn uchel. Bydd y ddau glwb yn dod i’r gêm ar gefn buddugoliaethau; Gresffordd yn curo Y Wyddgrug, gyda Gerwyn Williams (llun) yn rhwydo i Port ennill yn erbyn Penrhyncoch. Mae gan y ddau glwb record debyg dros y 5 gêm ddiwetha’ -Ennill 2, Colli 2, Cyfartal 1, sydd yn awgrymu gêm agos arall -gyda cefnogwyr Port yn gobeithio am ganlyniad gwahanol y tro yma! C’mon Port!! . The 2022/23 season drifts quietly to a close. Now, free of relegation worries, Port travel to take on Gresford Athletic in the final away fixture of the season. Gresford have vacated their long-time home at Clappers Lane in favour of a ground sharing arrangement with Cefn Druids, which means that Friday’s fixture will be played at the Rock, Gresford ran out 1-0 winners in the corresponding fixture at the Traeth, thanks to Adam Hesp’s added time header. Both clubs will now be looking to end the current season on a high. Both clubs come into this game on the back of victories; Gresford beating Mold Alex, while Gerwyn Williams (inset) netted the winner for Port over Penrhyncoch. Both have similar records over the past 5 games: W2 L2 D1: which suggests that another even contest can be expected -but Port supporters will be hoping for a different outcome!

Mae’n enwebiad haeddiannol yn dilyn perfformiad arbennig, yn y fuddugoliaeth o 2-1 dros Penrhyncoch, buddugoliaeth a sicrhaodd fod Port yn cadw eu lle yn y Cymru North. Cafodd Stuart gêm arbennig, yn angori canol cae, yn rhwydo’r gôl gynta’ a wedyn ei groesiad isel at y postyn cefn, yn creu y cyfle i Gerwyn Williams rhwydo’r ail gôl holl bwysig. Grêt Stuart! Congratulations to Stuart Rogers who has been named in the JD Cymru Leagues, Team of the Week. A well deserved nomination for Stuart following his outstanding performance in the 2-1 victory over Penrhyncoch, a win which secured Cymru North safety for Port. It was an outstanding performance, prompting in midfield, netting the opening goal and then his excellent low cross to the back post provided the assist for the all-important second goal scored by Gerwyn Williams. Brilliant Stuart!! 27/03/23 CRAIG PAPIRNYK: ".. fy unig amcan“ / “…. my only objective” Gyda dwy gêm yn unig yn weddill, oddi cartref yn erbyn Gresffordd ac adra i Llanidloes, gall y cefnogwyr ymlacio, gyda diogelwch Haen 2 wedi’i sicrhau. Roedd buddugoliaeth dros Penrhyncoch, a hefyd Conwy yn colli i’w cymdogion Llandudno, yn gwneud 30 pwynt yn ddigon i olygu tymor arall yn y Cymru North. Byddai colli’r lle a sicrhawyd ar ddiwrnod cofiadawy yn Y Bermo, wedi bod yn dipyn o argyfwng, ond medrwn roi y fath feddyliau o’r neilltu bellach. Yn dilyn y fuddugoliaeth honno pnawn Sadwrn, meddai Craig Papirnyk, “... Porthmadog yn aros yn yn y gynghrair oedd fyd unig amcan y tymor hwn. ‘Da ni wedi gwneud hynny ac rwy’n hapus dros y clwb, y gwirfoddolwyr gweithgar a’r cefnogwyr ffyddlon sy’n teithio’n wythnosol. Mae ‘na rhai sydd wedi ein hamau ond roeddem, fel grwp, yn dal i gredu y byddem yn cwblhau’r job!” Ond, does yna ddim awgrym fod y tîm rheoli yn mynd i ymlacio, wrth iddynt symud i adeiladu ar eu profiad eleni, gyda’r is-reolwr Ben Ogilvy ein hatgoffa fod, “.... nifer o’r garfan yn chwarae ar y lefel yma am y tro cynta’ yn eu gyrfaoedd.” Ychwanegodd y trydydd aelod o’r tîm hyfforddi, Steve Williams, yr hyfforddwr Trwydded ‘A’. “,,,bu nifer o agweddau positif, a bydd yr hogia ifanc dibrofiad yn well oherwydd hyn “Rwan mae gennym ffeinal i edrych ymlaen ato ac wedyn cawn gynllunio ac adeiladu at y tymor nesa’ er mwyn i’r tîm gael symud ymlaen.” Ymlaen at 2023/24 With two games remaining, away to Gresford and finally home to Llanidloes, supporters can relax with Tier 2 safety now assured. A win over Penrhyncoch and, Conwy’s loss to neighbours Llandudno, made 30 points enough to secure another season in the Cymru North. To lose their place, following the euphoria of the play-off victory of last season, would have been something of a disaster for the club but, all those thoughts can now be cast aside. Following the 2-1 win on Saturday, a pleased Craig Papirnyk commented, “...Porthmadog staying in the league was my only objective this season, we’ve done that and I’m made up for the club, it’s hard-working volunteers and loyal supporters who travel week in week out. We’ve had our doubters but we believed as a group we’d do it, job done !” There is however no suggestion that the management team is going to relax as they seek to build on this season’s experience, with assistant manager Ben Ogilvy in his programme notes pointing out that it has been a season of development with, “.....several of the squad playing at this level for the firat time in their careers.” The third member of the management team, ‘A’ Licensed coach Steve Williams, added,, “,,,,,,,,there have been many positives and the young and inexperienced lads will be better equipped because of it. “We now have a cup final to look forward to and then we can plan and build for next season so that the team and club can kick on.” On now to 2023/24. 24/03/23 Kian a Cian yng ngharfan Gymru / Port pair in Wales win Roedd chwaraweyr Port, Cian Pritchard a Kian Hughes, unwaith eto yn rhan o garfan Ysgolion Cymru yng nghystadleaeth Tlws y Canmlwyddiant. Dilynwyd y fuddugoliaeth dros Gweriniaeth Iwerddon, gyda buddugoliaeth o 3-1 dros Ysgolion Gogledd Iwerddon Dan 18. Chwaraewyd y gêm neithiwr ar gae Old Road, , Briton Ferry Llansawel, sy’n chwarae yn y Cymru South. Llongyfarchiadau i’r ddau. Port pair Cian Pritchard and Kian Hughes were again part of the Wales Schools’ squad in last night’s Centenary Tournament international. Wales followed up the win over the Republic of Ireland with a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland schools U 18. The game was played at Cymru South club, Briton Ferry Llansawel’s Old Road Ground. Congrats to both players 23/03/23 PENRHYNCOCH: Sad / Sat Y Traeth 2.30pm Noddwr y Gêm / Match Sponsor: TANRONNEN INN, Beddgelert Noddwyr y Bêl / Match Ball Sponsors: Children’s Farm Park / Slate Caverns Llanfair, Jason Hughes Flooring. Bydd Port yn croesawu Penrhyncoch i‘r Traeth pnawn Sadwrn, y gêm adra’ ola’ ond un o’r tymor. Bydd buddugoliaeth pnawn Sadwrn yn sicrhau lle y clwb yn y Cymru North ar gyfer y tymor nesa’. Er waetha’ problemau’r tymor bydd y clwb wedyn, wedi llwyddo yn eu prif amcan ar gychwyn y tymor hwn. Mae’r ystadegau yn dangos fod Penrhyncoch heb ennill oddi cartre’ y tymor hwn. Ond hefyd maent yn dangos fod Port ond wedi ennill dwy gêm gynghrair ar y Traeth. Felly i lwyddo pnawn Sadwrn bydd angen i Port weithio’n galed a chynnal y perfformaidau gwell a gafwyd yn ddiweddar. Er waetha’r ystadegau, mae hanes yn awgrymu na fydd yr ymwelwyr yn ildio’n hawdd a bydd angen perfformiad gan Port. Ar hyn o bryd Conwy sydd yn y safle ola' i ddisgyn, a bydd clwb y Morfa yn chwarae Llandudno nos Wener.. Dewch i gefnogi pnawn Sadwrn. C’mon Port!! Port welcome Penrhyncoch to the Traeth for Saturday’s penultimate home league fixture A win in Saturday will secure Cymru North safety for Port. That, should it be achieved, will mean that for all its ups and downs, the club’s main, basic aim at the start of the season has been achieved. The form book tells us that Penrhyncoch have not recorded a win on the road this season. It also tells us that Port have only two league victories at the Traeth from their 13 home fixtures. If they are to secure the points Port will need to work hard and maintain their recent improved form. Despite the stats, history tells us that Penrhycncoch are unlikely to be an easy touch. Conwy Borough, who curently occupy the 3rd relegation spot, will be in action on Friday against Llandudno. Support the lads on Saturday. C’mon Port!! 23/03/23 CEFNOGWCH yr IEUENCTID / SUPPORT the JUNIORS Mae gan glwb ieuenctid Porthmadog Juniors ymgyrch codi ariansydd yn anelu at godi £1,000 i helpu efo costau rhedeg y clwb ac i brynu offer holl bwysig.

Mae’r Gynghrair wedi symud dyddiad gêm Llanidloes ymlaen i’r Sadwrn canlynol 15fed Ebrill. There will NOT be a game at the Traeth on Easter Monday. The League has decided to switch the game against Llanidloes to the following Saturday, 15th April. 19/03/23 Y 5 PERFFAITH / THE PERFECT 5 Yn dilyn gêm gystadleuol yng Nghwpan Gwasanaeth Gwaed Cymru aeth Port drwodd i Ffeinal y Gogledd diolch i’r ‘5 Perffaith’ o’r smotyn. Gyda’r tensiwn yn uchel rhoddodd Meilir Williams Port ar ben ffordd gyda’r gic gynta’ a Tom Mahoney, Marcus Banks a Gerwyn Williams i gyd yn rhwydo. Yn ogystal cafwyd arbediad ardderchog gan Morgan Jones lawr i’w chwith i greu y cyfle i Cai Jones sicrhau’r fuddugoliaeth a chwblhau’r 5 perffaith. Ergydiodd Cai heibio i law chwith Mark Richards a roedd Port yn y ffeinal. Bae Colwyn yn y ffeinal -tipyn o dasg. Ffeinal y De : Briton Ferry Llansawel v Barry Town United Following an even contest in the WBS League Cup semi-final against Chirk, Port got through thanks to the ‘Perfect 5’ from the penalty spot. Tension reigned as Meilir Williams set Port on their way, converting the opener, with Tom Mahoney, Marcus Banks and Gerwyn Williams all finding the net. Meanwhile, home keeper Morgan Jones pulled off a fine save diving to his left, setting up Cai Jones to convert the winning kick, shooting confidently past the left hand of Mark Richards to make it 5-3 in Port`s favour. Colwyn Bay in the final – some prospect!!

Dylai cefnogwyr sylwi fod y gic gynta’ am 2 o’r gloch. Ond, does dim angen atgoffa cefnogwyr am y tro diwetha’ i’r Waun ymweld â’r Traeth.. Gyda’r ymwelwyr eisoes wedi gwneud y dwbl dros Port mae ‘na gyfle i dalu’r pwyth. Er y byddant yn mynd i’r gêm hon ar ôl colli adra’ eto, roedd y perfformiad, yn enwedig yn yr ail hanner y Sadwrn diwetha’, yn un o godi hyder fod gwell i ddod. Yn ei gyfweliad gyda Dylan Elis, yn dilyn y gêm gyda Bae Colwyn, dywedodd Craig Papirnyk bydd Port yn edrych ymlaen at y gêm ond efo pwynt i’w brofi C’mon Port!! Bydd yna gêm gyn-derfynol arall pnawn Sadwrn hefyd, rhwng Bae Colwyn a Cegidfa. On Saturday Port welcome Chirk AAA to the Traeth for the Northern Semi-final of the League Cup. Supporters are reminded of the earlier 2pm kick off. Supporters will not, however, need reminding of events at the Traeth when Chirk last visited!! With Chirk already having completed a league double over Port, there is a score to settle. Despite going into this tie following another home defeat, last Saturday’s peformance, particularly in the 2nd half, will provide the confidence that there is better to come. In his interview with Dylan Elis following that showing against Colwyn Bay, manager Craig Papirnyk, said, “.... going into the Chirk semi-final we’ve got a point to prove, we’re really looking forward to it.” C’mon Port!! The other semi-final is also being played on Saturday between Colwyn Bay and Guilsfield.

Ymunodd â Port yn ystod ffenest Ionawr o glwb Runcorn Town, yn cychwyn pob un o’r 5 gêm yn ystod Chwefror, gan chwarae rhan bwysig yn yr adfywiad diweddar. Rhwydodd gôl hwyr yn ei gêm gynta’ ar Y Traeth, i sicrhau pwynt gwerthfawr yn erbyn Bwcle. Ers ymuno, mae’r chwaraewr tal wedi gwneud cyfraniad gwerthfawr i’r canol cae a’r amddiffyn. Llongyfarchiadau Tom. Tom Mahoney has been voted by supporters the club’s Player of the Month for February. . He joined Port, during the January window, from Runcorn Town and started each one of the 5 games during February, playing an important part in the club’s recent revival of fortunes. He netted a late equaliser on his home debut, to give Port a valuable point against Buckley Town. The tall midfielder/ defender has made a valuable contribution since joining. Congratulations Tom. 11/03/23 BAE COLWYN Bay: Trefniadau Mynediad / Ground entry Arrangements Bydd y trefniadau yma ar gyfer cefnogwyr i’r gêm gyda Bae Colwyn pnawn ‘ma Dylai deiliaid pasys a deiliaid tocyn tymor i fynd i mewn drwy'r brif giât Cyrhaeddwch yn gynnar er mwyn osgoi bod mewn ciw wrth y fynedfa.

There will be extra parking at the Rugby ground near the Traeth 09/03/23 BAE COLWYN Bay: Sad / Sat: Y Traeth 2.30pm Noddwr y gêm / Match Sponsor: CHILDREN’S FARM PARK / SLATE CAVERNS LLANFAIR . Dim ond golwg frysiog ar y Tabl sydd angen i fesur maint y dasg bydd Port yn wynebu pan ddaw pencampwyr tebygol y Cymru North i’r Traeth, pnawn Sadwrn. Maent wedi cael tymor gwych, a tymor nesaf byddant yn siwr o osod sialens i glybiau sefydlog y Cymru Premier. Ymatebodd Craig Papirnyk i’r hyn sydd o’u blaen gan ddweud y bydd pawb yn disgwyl i Port gael cweir, felly bydd yna ddim pwysau, a gall y garfan fwynhau’r achlysur, a gobeithio rhoi perfformiad iy byddant yn falch ohono. Oes yna rhywbeth positif? Oes wir! Bydd yn ddiwrnod grêt ar y Traeth yn croeasawu clwb sydd heb golli gêm gynghrair yn ystod y tymor, gyda’r unig bwyntiau i’w colli yn dod mewn gêm gyfaartal ar ddiwrnod cynta’r tymor! Roedd y gêm gyfatebol ar Ffordd Llanelian, yn un o safon gyda’r ddau glwb yn cyfrannu at yr achysur. Yn ddiweddar iawn mae Port wedi dechrau dod allan o’u rhediad gwael.... A quick look at the table is sufficient to see the size of the daunting task facing Port, when the Cymru North champions in waiting visit the Traeth on Saturday. Colwyn Bay have enjoyed a fantastic season and next season will provide the established Cymru Premier clubs with a real challenge. Manager Craig Papyrnik responded to the prospect, when asked by Dylan Elis: “...it’s going to be a really, really difficult game but a game where we’ve got no pressure. “Let’s be honest everyone will expect Colwyn Bay to come and turn us over. (We can) “go and enjoy the day and, give a good account of ouselves, hopefully.” Are thre any positves? Indeed, it will be a great day at the Traeth welcoming a club which has not lost a league fixture during the whole season with, the only points dropped, comimg in a draw on the opening day of the season. The corresponding match at Llanelian Road was a really enjoyable game of high quality. Last but not least Port have seemingly arrested the slump in form. We look forward to it. C’mon Port!! 08/03/23 Meilir Williams: Team yr Wythnos / Team of the Week Enwyd Meilir Williams, blaenwr Port, yn Tîm yr Wythnos y JD Cymru Leagues am yr wythnos hon.

Mae’r Derwyddon yn y 6ed safle yn y tabl. Er iddynt golli 3 o’u 4 gêm ddiwetha’, rhaid nodi fod y tair yn erbyn clybiau, Bae Colwyn, Treffynnon a Chegidfa, y tri, yn cael rhediadiadau arbennig.Yn y gêm gyfatebol ar Y Traeth, colli wnaeth Port o 2-1, mewn gêm eitha’ cyfartal ond gyda Callum Stephens yn rhwydo yn yr ail hanner i ennill y gêm i’r Derwyddon. . Fel ar Barc Alyn, bydd hon yn dipyn o sialens a bydd angen perfformiad tebyg, hynny ydy, heblaw am y gôl yn yr amser ychwanegol; sefyllfa sydd wedi costio dipyn o bwyntiau i Port dros y tymor. Ond roedd yn dda cael Ifan Emlyn ac Alex Boss yn ôl yn y garfan ac yn cyfrannu eto. Amdani Hogia’ C’mon Port!! Another weekend, another tough fixture, this time on a FRIDAY evening away at The Rock, home of Cefn Druids. The Druids are currently in 6th spot in the table. Though they have lost 3 of their last 4 games, it is worth noting that those games were against three of the form teams of the Cymru North; Colwyn Bay, Holywell and Guilsfield. In the corresponding fixture at the Traeth Port suffered an odd goal 2-1 defeat, after a fairly even contest with Callum Stephens netting the Druids winner in the 2nd half.t. Like last weekend, it will be another tough challenge and another similar performance will be called for, with hopefully no added time mishaps which have cost Port this season. It was good to have the long term absentees, Ifan Emlyn and Alex Boss, back on the pitch and contributing again. Go for it lads! C’mon Port!!

The group fuxtures will be played as above 23/02/23 Y WYDDGRUG / MOLD ALEX: Sad / Sat: Parc Alyn: 2pm. ( CH7 1FT) Pnawn Sadwrn bydd Port yn teithio i’r Wyddgrug i chwarae gêm allwedol arall yn y frwydr i sicrhau eu bod yn aros yn y Cymru North. Eisoes mae’r ddau wedi cyfarfod tair gwaith y tymor hwn, gyda’r Wyddgrug yn ennill yn y Gynghrair a Cwpan Cymru, tra Port oedd yn llwyddianus yng Nghwpan y Gynghrair. Mae gan y clwb o Sir y Fflint fantais o 2 bwynt dros Port, a hefyd dwy gêm mewn llaw. Felly gellir dadlau fod angen Port yn fwy. Dros y 6 gêm ddiweddara’ mae gan y clybiau record sy’n union yr un fath Ennill 1 Cyfartal 1, Colli 4. Nid oedd dim y gallai fod wedi paratoi cefnogwyr am yr hyn ddigwyddodd ar Y Traeth y Sadwrn diwetha’ Er eu bod lawr i 10 dyn am gyfnod hir, cafodd cefnogwyr eu syfrdanu gan y perfformiad. Cyfle felly, pnawn Sadwrn, am ymateb neu, fel y dywedodd Craig Papirnyk, “Mae gennym 6 gêm i’w rhoi yn iawn....” Newyddion da fod ifan Emlyn ac Alex Boss (llun) yn agosau at ffitrwydd. Gall eu cyfraniad fod yn holl bwysig. (Diolch i Dylan Rees am y cywiriad!!!!) C’mon Port!! On Saturday, Port travel to Flintshire to take on Mold Alex in a vital Cymru North survival fixture. The clubs have already played each other 3 times this season, with Mold recording a League and a JD Welsh Cup win, while Port came out on top in the in the League Cup. The Flintshire club hold a two-point advantage and have two games in hand, so we can take it that Port’s need is greater. Over the last 6 matches the clubs have identical records W1 D1 L4. Nothing could have prepared supporters for last Saturday’s level of performance at home to Chirk. Even with 10 men, faithful supporters were left stunned, Saturday will provide the opportunity for a response or as Craig Papirnyk puts it, >“We’ve got six games to put it right..” Good news is that Ifan Emlyn (inset) and Alex Boss are nearing fitness. Their contribution cold be vital. (Thanks to Dylan Rees for the correction!!!!) C’mon Port!! 21/02/23 CRAIG PAPIRNYK yn dweud i ddweud / CRAIG PAPIRNYK responds to Saturday’s defeat Mae Craig Papirnyk yn cymryd cyfrifoldeb llawn am y perfformiad diweddara’, a dydy o ddim chwaith yn dal ‘nol, wrth gael ei gyfweld gan Dylan Elis ar Teledu Port TV. “Un o’r pnawniau gwaetha’ imi gael ar y Traeth.... “I ddweud mod i’n rhwystredig .... “Roeddem dwy neu dair llathen y tu ôl iddi... “Roedd y safon heddiw yn is, o lawer, na’r hyn ‘dw i’n ei ddisgwyl.... Dengys y dyfyniadau yma ddyfnder y teimladau yn dilyn perfformiad pnawn Sadwrn. Ond y peth pwysig rwan ydy edrych at y gemau sy’n weddill fel mae Craig yn dweud “Mae gennym chwe gêm i’w roi yn iawn” Mae’n ychwanegu: “’Da ni ddim yn chwilio am esgusodion ... “Da ni’n atebol am ein perfformiadau ..... “Mae’r chwaraewyr yn atebol, a rhaid iddyn nhw gymryd y cyfrifoldeb..... Pnawn Sadwrn bydd Port yn cychwyn ar rhediad o gemau holl bwysig a bydd codi rhywbeth o gemau’r Wyddgrug, Y Derwyddon neu Bae Colwyn yn gamp ond, bellach bydd Paps angen sioc wrth ei dîm, er mwyn tynnu drwyddi. Manager Craig Papirnyk takes full responsibility for Saturday’s performance and neither does he pull any punches in his answers to Dylan Elis post match on Teledu Port TV. “One of the worst afternoons I’ve experience at the Traeth... “To say I’m frustrated is an understatement... “We were two or three yards off the pace.... “Today was well below what I expect....” These quotes clearly show the depth of feeling that followed Saturday’s performance. But we now have to focus on what lies ahead for as Craig says, “We’ve got six games to put it right..” He adds:- “We are not looking for excuses ... “We are accountable for the performances we put on .... “The players are accountable and need to take responsibility...” Port start the final run in on Saturday and, anything from the next three, Mold, Druids and Colwyn Bay, will be an achievement, but a shock result is what Paps really needs from his team to pull through. 20/02/23 DIOLCH I'R CYNGOR TREF / THANKS TO THE TOWN COUNCIL Mae'r clwb wedi derbyn rhodd o £2500 gan Cyngor Tref Porthmadog. Hoffai swyddogion y clwb ddiolch am ei rhodd hael. Bwriad y clwb yw defnyddio'r arian at y gwaith o greu ystafell newid pwrpasol ar gyfer merched sydd yn dyfarnu a cynorthwyo mewn gemau. Mae'r gefnogaeth yn cael ei werthfawrogi yn fawr iawn The club have received a donation of £2500 from Porthmadog Town Council. Club officials wish to thank the Town Council for their generosity. The club intend to use the money towards creating a new dressing room for female referees and assistants. The support is much appreciated. 20/02/23 BRWYDR i AROS FYNY / RELEGATION DOGFIGHT is ON Mae Port mewn brwydr i aros yn y Cymru North. Diflanodd unrhyw amheuon am hyn pnawn Sadwrn. Awgryma’r tabl fod y ddau glwb yn y safleoedd isa’ wedi’u ynysu’n ormodol erbyn hyn, i oroesi. Hyn felly yn gadael un lle, a’r lle hwnnw yn mynd i gael ei lenwi gan un o 5 neu o bosib 6 clwb. Mae gwagle o 9 pwynt wedi datblygu rhwng Prestatyn yn 8fed a’r Wyddgrug yn 9fed. Y ffefrynau i achub eu croen fydd y timau hynny sydd ar y rhediad gorau. Er i’r Waun fod yn y tri safle gwaelod am rhan fawr o’r tymor, yn sydyn, gyda chwaraewyr a arwyddodd yn Ionawr yn disgleirio, daeth buddugoliaethau pwysig dros Y Wyddgrug a Port i’w codi allan o’r tri gwaelod. Mae Gresffordd hefyd wedi codi pwyntiau i symud uwchben Port, tra fod Conwy wedi llithro i’r tri gwaelod. Tebyg yr aiff y frwydr i’r gêm ola’!! A tair gêm ola’ Port fydd yn erbyn Penrhyncoch a Gresffordd gyda Llanidloes yn dod a’r cyfan i fwcwl. Dewch tu ôl yr hogiau, bydd hon yn dipyn o siwrnai. Any remaining doubts that Port are involved in a relegation dogfight were removed following Saturday’s depressing result. The table suggests that the clubs occupying the bottom two places are by now too isolated to survive, which leaves one place, and that place could be occupied by one of of 5 or maybe even 6 clubs. A 9pts gap has developed between Prestatyn in 8th spot and Mold Alex in 9th place. The favourites to survive will be those clubs that are in the best run of form. Although they have been in the bottom three for much of the season, suddenly, with January signings to the fore, Chirk AAA have found a winning streak with victories over Port and Mold Alex. Gresford have also picked up points to move above Port in the table while Conwy have dropped into the bottom three. This really could go to the wire and Port’s last 3 games are Penrhyncoch (h), Gresford(a) with Llanidloes(h) bringing down the curtain.Get behind the lads this is going to be some final journey. 17/02/23 Pob lwc Jamie / Thanks Jamie Mae Jamie McDaid i adael y clwb ac arwyddo i CPD Llanberis. Cychwynodd Jamie ei gyfnod cynta ar Y Traeth tra yn dal yn ei arddegau gan ddychwelyd o Landudno yn 2020. Ac er iddo fethu llawer o’r tymor 2021/22 daeth yn ôl i chwarae rhan werthfawr yn y rhuthr ola am ddyrchafiad. Fel mae wedi troi allan, ei weithred fawr ola’ dros y clwb oedd sicrhau 3 phwynt yn erbyn Conwy gyda’i ddwy gôl hwyr, ar ôl dod ymlaen o’r fainc. Diolch iti Jamie a phob lwc yn Llanbêr. Jamie McDaid is leaving the the club to sign for CPD Llanberis. Started his first stint at the Traeth as a teenager, returning again from Llandudno in 2020 but, despite missing most of last season, played a valuable role in the run in for promotion. As it turns out his grand finale for the club proved to be the super sub appearance against Conwy Borough, when his two late goals secured all three points for Port. Thanks and best of luck at Llanberis Jamie. 16/02/23 Y WAUN / CHIRK AAA: Sad / Sat @ Y Traeth 2.30pm. Noddwr y gêm / Match Sponsor: GARY FALCONER Electricals Noddwyr y Bêl / Match Ball Sponsors: CEFNOGWYR PORT SUPPORTERS Pnawn Sadwrn byddwn yn croesawu Y Waun i’r Traeth ar gyfer gêm allweddol yn hanner isa’r tabl. Er eu bod yn y 10 fed safle, ni all Port deimlo’n gwbl ddiogel. Yn dilyn 12 gêm gynghrair heb fuddugoliaeth i'r Waun, daeth buddugoliaeth y Sadwrn diwetha’ dros y Wyddgrug, yn rhybudd amserol. Mae’r 3 phwynt hwn yn eu gadael 6 phwynt o dan Port ond gyda dwy gêm mewn llaw, a hyn yn gwneud gêm pnawn Sadwrn yn frwydr 6 phwynt. Gwnaeth chwaraewyr newydd wahaniaeth i’r Waun, gyda Rhys Edwards, chwaraewr ar fenthyg o’r Seintiau Newydd, yn sgorio’u gôl gynta ac un arall newydd, Tristan Lloyd, hefyd yn sgorio. Does dim angen atgoffa cefnogwyr mai’r Glowyr hefyd enillodd y gêm gyfatebol o 2-1. . Rhaid i Port bellach droi perfformiadau cry’ yn bwyntiau os am rhoi pellter rhyngddynt â’r tri gwaelod, gan hefyd osgoi digwyddiadau fel yr un a welodd Iddon Price yn gorfod gadael ei le yng nghanol yr amddiffyn i fynd i’r gôl. Gêm bwysig, dewch i gefnogi. C’mon Port!! We welcome Chirk AAA to the Traeth on Saturday in what could be a key fixture in the lower half of the table. Despite lying in 10th spot Port are not yet out of the relegation woods. Chirk served up a timely reminder, when after 12 league matches without a win they gained an important victory over Mold Alex last weekend, a win which leaves them 6 points adrift of Port but with 2 games in hand, making Saturday’s game a crucial 6 pointer. January signings proved influential for the Colliers with Rhys Edwards, a loanee from TNS, putting them ahead and, another new signing, Tristan Lloyd also on the scoresheet. Supporters will not need reminding that Chirk were also 2-1 winners in the corresponding fixture. Port will need to turn battling performances into points if they are to breathe more easily and also avoid calamities like having to replace sent off keeper Morgan Jones with central defender Iddon Price (inset). Everything to play for, come and support. C’mon Port!! 14/02/23 7 gêm yn weddill / Just 7 games left A hithau ond yn ganol Chwefror â Port gyda ond 7 gêm gynghrair yn weddill, 7 gêm felly i sicrhau diogelwch a dyna bu prif amcan y tymor hwn. Disgwylir i’r tymor ddod i ben ar y 10fed Ebrill. Wrth gymryd golwg ar y gemau sy’n weddill gwelwn fod 4 o’r 7 gêm yn erbyn clybiau sydd yn is yn y tabl, Y Waun, Penrhyncoch, Gresffordd a Llanidloes. Heblaw am Llanidloes mae’r tri arall a gemau mewn llaw ar Port. Hefyd mae dwy gêm oddi cartref yn erbyn clybiau sydd a buddugoliaethau dros Port ar Y Traeth. Mae’r gêm arall sy’n weddill yn un ddeniadol, ond anodd iawn, pan ddaw Bae Colwyn i’r Traeth. Gobeithio wir fydd pob dim wedi setlo cyn y gêm ola’ adra i Llanidloes!! 18/02 Y Waun/Chirk AAA (H) 25/02 Wyddgrug/Mold (A) 03/03 Derwyddon Cefn Druids (A) 11/03 Bae Colwyn Bay (H) 25/03 Penrhyncoch (H) 07/04 Gresffordd (A) 10/04 Llanidloes (H) It is only mid-February and Port have just 7 league fixtures remaining, 7 games to secure Cymru North safety, which has been the club’s main goal this season. As things stand Port’s season will come to an end on 10th April. A look at the remaining fixtures above shows that 4 of the 7 fixtures are against clubs below us in the table Chirk, Penrhyncoch, Gresford and Llanidloes. All apart from Llanidloes have games in hand. There are two away games against mid-table clubs that have already recorded wins at the Traeth. The other remaining game is an attractive but very difficult one, when Colwyn Bay come to the Traeth. Let’s hope that we have collected sufficient points and that all will be settled before the final home fixture with Llanidloe!!. 10/02/23 Newid dyddiad gêm Y Derwyddon / Change of date for Cefn Druids fixture Mae yna ddyddiad newydd ar gyfer y gêm oddi cartref yn erbyn Y Derwyddon Cefn Bellach bydd yn cael ei chwarae ar nôs WENER, 3ydd Mawrth gyda’r gic gynta am 7.45pm. Supporters should note that the away fixture against Cefn Druids has been switched to the FRIDAY evening, 3rd March with a 7.45pm kick off. 09/02/23 PRESTATYN: Sad / Sat: Bastion Gardens 2.30pm (LL19 7LU) Pnawn Sadwrn bydd Port yn teithio i Brestatyn yn fwy hyderus yn dilyn dau berfformiad penderfynol, gan gynnwys sicrhau pwynt gwerthfawr adra’ i Fwcle. Yn y gêm hefyd cafwyd berfformiad arbennig gan Tom Mahoney, y gynta’ iddo ar Y Traeth. Coronwyd ei berfformaid gyda gôl holl bwysig i sicrhau y pwynt. Yr un fath a Port, mae ein gwrthwynebwyr wedi colli momentwm yn ddiweddar ac wedi llithro ‘chydig i’r 8fed safle yn y tabl. Yn wir mae gan y ddau glwb record sy’n union yr un fath dros y 5 gêm ddiwetha’. Ennill 1 Cyfartal 1 Colli 3. Ond tan yn ddiweddar, roedd Prestatyn yn mwynhau tymor arbennig o dda ond bellach, fel Port, byddant yn edrych i droi gornel a dechrau symud i fyny’r tabl unwaith eto. Pan gyfarfu’r ddau ar y Traeth sicrhaodd Port fuddugoliaeth o 2-0 gyda Callum Parry a Meilir Williams yn rhwydo. Roedd hwn yn un o berfformaidau gorau’r tymor. Byddai ail adrodd hyn yn wych!! C’mon Port!! Port will travel to Prestatyn on Saturday boosted by two strong performances, including the precious point at home to Buckley. A feature of that game was an outstanding home debut by Tom Mahoney, including netting the vital equaliser. Like Port, our opponents have not enjoyed the best of form recently and, this has seen them slip to 8th place in the table. In fact the two clubs have identical records over the last 5 games. W1 D1 L3. But, until recently, Prestatyn were enjoying a really good season and now, like Port, will be looking to turn a corner and start moving up the table again. When the two clubs met at the Traeth, Port secured a 2-0 win with Callum Parry and Meilir Williams (inset) scoring. This was one of their best performances of the current season. A repeat performance would be great!! C’mon Port!! 08/02/23 TAITH i RHUFAIN / OFF to ROME Newyddion gwych i ddau o chwaraewyr ifanc Port. Bydd y ddau ar daith i Rhufain ar 22 Chwefror am 10 diwrnod. Y tro yma yn ymuno gyda Cian Pritchard (llun}, sydd eisoes wedi bod yn rhan o garfan Ysgolion Cymru Dan 18 ar gyfer gemau yn erbyn Awstralia ac yr Ysgolion Preifat Annibynnol, fydd Kian Hughes a arwyddodd i Port yn ddiaweddar. Bydd y ddau yn cymryd rhan yn y ‘Roma Caput Mundi’ twrnament gwahoddedig sydd yn cael ei gydnabod gan UEFA. Byddant yn rhan o garfan Ysgolion/Colegau Cymru ac yn chwarae gwrthwyebwyr rhyngwladol. Cynhelir y twrnament, fel arfer, ym mhencadlys gwych tîm rhyngwaldol yr Eidal, Y Borghesiana yn Rhufain. Mwynhewch y profiad Cian a Kian. Brilliant news for two young Port players. They will both be off on a trip to Rome on 22nd February for 10 days. Cian Pritchard, who has been part of the Welsh Schools U18 squad for the representative games against Australia and the Independent Schools, will be joined on the trip by recent Port signing, Kian Hughes (inset). They will be taking part in the UEFA recognised invitation tournament, ‘Roma Caput Mundi’ and will be part of the joint Wales Schools/Colleges squad playing other international squads The tournament is usually held at the fantastic Borghesiana complex, the training headquarters of the Italian national football team in Rome. Enjoy the experience Cian and Kian !! 06/02/23 MARCUS BANKS: Chwaraewr mis Ionawr / January Player of the Month Pleidleisiwyd Marcus Banks yn Chwaraewr y Mis am fis Ionawr gan y cefnogwyr. Mae’r chwaraewr ifanc talentog, sydd eisoes wedi cynrychioli tîm Futsal Cymru Dan 19, wedi cael mis arbennig o dda. Yn ogystal a cael ei ddewis yn chwaraewr y mis, cafodd ei enwi yn nhîm yr wythnos y JD Cymru Leagues yn dilyn ei berfformaid a’i gôl allweddol yn y fuddugoliaeth dros Hotspyrs Caergybi Da Iawn a llongyfarchiadau Marcus. Marcus Banks has been voted by supporters the club’s Player of the Month for January. The creative, talented midfielder, who has represented Wales in U 19 Futsal internationals, .has enjoyed a good month. In addition to being voted club player of the month he was named in the JD Cymru Leagues team of the week following his all-important goal in the win over Holyhaed Hotspurs. Well done and congratulations Marcus. 06/02/23 BWCLE / BUCKLEY: Nos Fawrth / Tues: Y Traeth 7.45pm Nos Fawrth byddwn yn croesawu Bwcle i’r Traeth ar gyfer gêm wedi’i hadrefnu. Mae’r ymwelwyr yn mynd yn dda yn y gynghrair eleni ac wedi ennill ei dwy gêm ddiweddara’ac yn y 5ed safle yn y tabl. Yn y gêm gyfatebol ar Y Globe Way Bwcle enillodd o 3-1. Fel y dywedodd dylan Rees yn ei adroddiad teithio i Rhuthun â gobeithion yn weddol isel oedd hi panaw Sadwrn ond, yn y diwedd roedd angen gic amheus o’r smotyn i’w curo. Bydd y perfformiad penderfynol hwn yn codi gobeithion am gêm gystadleuol eto nos Fawrth. Cewch weld ar ‘Tu ôl i’r Gôl’ fod yna berfformiad arbennig gan Morgan jones gyda nifer o arbedion gwych. C’mon Port!! On Tuesday night we welcome Buckley Town to the Traeth for the re-arranged fixture. The visitors are in good form having won their last two games and currently lie in 5th spot in the table. They also recorded a 3-1 win in the corresponding fixture at Globe Way. As Dylan Rees said in his match report, Port travelled to Ruthin with low expectations on Saturday but, in the end, it needed a controversial penalty award to beat them. A battling performance to build on and raise hopes for another competitive performance tomorrow night. As you will see on ‘Tu ôl I’r Gôl ‘, there was a great performance from Morgan jones pulling off numerous outstanding saves. C’mon Port!! 05/02/23 Ystadegau torfeydd / Attendance Stats Un peth sydd yn gyson ar Y Traeth y tymor hwn, a hynny ydy lefel y torfeydd. Dyma;r ystadegau ar gyfer y 10 gêm gynghrhair adref y tymor hwn. Y dorf ucha’ oedd 348(yn erbyn Treffynnon) Y dorf isa’ oedd 225(yn erbyn Cegidfa) Y nifer llawn o gefnogwyr a daeth drwy’r gatiau ydy 2790. Hyn yn rhoi cyfartaledd boddhaol iawn o 279 Bu tair torf o 300+ a gafwyd am y gemau yn erbyn Treffynnon, Llandudno a Hotspyrs Caergybi. Y dorf ucha’ oedd ar gyfer y gêm ar bnawn Sazdwrn yn erbyn Treffynnon. Dylem gofio, er waetha’r cychwyn da i’r tymor, mae Port wedi bod yn y rhan isa’ o ganol y tabl ac er hynny mae’r gefnogaeth wedi parhau yn gyson uchel. Yn ogystal â’r ffigyrau boddhaol yma bu’r gefnogaeth ar y ffordd yn dda hefyd. Dymuna’r clwb ddiolch i gefnogwyr am ei ffyddlondeb i’r clwb. One thing which has been constant at the Traeth this season has been the attendance level. These stats are for the 10 home league fixtures played to date. The lowest gate was 225. (v Guilsfield) The total number of spectators who have passed through the gates is 2,790 This gives us a highly satisfactory average attendance of 279. There have been three 300+ attendances which came in the matches with Holywell Town, Holyhead Hotspurs and Llandudno. The highest gate for the season so far came for the Saturday fixture with Holywell Town. It should be borne in mind that, despite a bright start to the season, Port have occupied a lower mid-table position yet, support has continued at a consistently high level. In addition to these positive figures Port have been very well supported on the road. The club would like to thanks this magnificent dedicated support. 02/02/23 RHUTHUN: Sad / Sat 04/02/23 Memorial Fields @2.30pm (LL15 1PH) Pnawn Sadwrn bydd Port yn wynebu Ruthun am yr ail dro mewn wythnos. Yn dilyn perfformiad ail-hanner siomedig wythnos yn ôl, byddwn yn teithio gyda dipyn o gonsyrn am y sialens i ddod. Ond, weithiau mae colledion sylweddol yn troi ar un neu ddau o ddigwyddiadau. Pe byddai Port wedi cymryd un o’r cyfleon cynnar, efallai byddai’r canlyniad wedi bod yn fwy cystadleuol. Er hynny, bydd Port yn teithio gan wybod fod gêm anodd iawn yn eu haros. Wrth edrych ‘mlaen at gemau Port ym mis Chwefror gwelwn fod mis anodd i ddod a dipyn o sialens i godi’r pwyntiau a gwneud yn siwr eu bod y aros yn y Cymru North.Yn dilyn y gêm yn Rhuthun bydd yna gemau gyda Bwcle (nos Fawrth), Prestatyn, Y Waun a’r Wyddgrug. Tair gem yn erbyn gwrthwynebwyr cry’ canol y tabl ac un gyda chlwb, yn y tri isa’, sydd eisoes wedi sicrhau 3 phwynt yn erbyn Port ynghynt yn y tymor. Ond mae un gêm ar y tro yn ddigon ... ymlaen i Rhuthun. C’mon Port!! On Saturday Port travel to Ruthin for the second part of the double-header. Following last week’s second -half performance they will travel with some concern about the challenge ahead. However, sometimes even heavy defeats can hinge on a single event. Had Port taken an early opportunity last week then the gap on the day might have been narrower.. But they will be under no illusions that this will be a really difficult encounter. Looking ahead over the month, Port face a serious challenge to pick up the points required to ensure that the aim of staying up is achieved. The fixture at Ruthin is followed by Buckley (Tuesday) Prestatyn, Chirk and Mold Alex . Three games against tough mid-table opposition and a return game against a bottom three club that took the 3 pts when the clubs last met. One game at a time and on to Ruthin on Saturday. C’mon Port! 01/02/23 Cyn i’r Ffenest Gau! / Beating the Deadline! Bu Craig Papirnyk yn brysur iawn cyn i’r ffenest drosglwyddo gau, gan ychwanegu tri enw newydd i’r garfan. TOM MAHONEY yn ymuno o Runcorn Town ac hefyd wedi chwarae i AFC Knowsley a South Liverpool. Caiff ei ddisgrifio gan Craig yn chwaraewr cryf, pwerus ac athletaidd fydd yn sicr o gryfhau’r tîm.

All three are warmly welcomed to the Traeth 18/01/23 RHWYFO DROS PORT / ROWING FOR PORT Na does na ddim awydd i newid y gamp o bêl-droed i rwyfo. Ond mae yna gefnogwr a rhwyfwr ymroddedig wedi cyhoeddi ei fwriad i godi arian i goffrau’r clwb mewn ffordd annisgwyl a ‘chydig yn eithafol! Y rhwyfwr ydy Mike Holt, gynt o Borthmadog ond bellach yn byw draw ar Gilgwri, sy’n bwriadu, ym mis Mehefin, rhwyfo o Harbwr Port ac ar draws Môr Iwerddon i Wicklow -ac yn ôl! Gyda tywydd têg bydd y siwrnai yn cymryd 10 niwrnod a mae’n gwahodd cefnogwyr a ffrindiau i‘w gefnogi drwy gyfrannu at goffrau’r clwb.Mae'n anelu i godi swm o £5,000. Cewch gyfrannu at ymdrech ffantastig Mike ar: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/michael-holt-4 Ei amcan ydy cefnogi dyfodol y clwb a datblygu cyfleoedd i ieuenctid yn genod a hogiau. Byddai rhwyfo o Port i Wicklow yn lwyddiant oes i’r mwyafrif ond i Mike rhyw gynhesu ar gyfer sialens llawer mwy fydd hon. Y flwyddyn nesa’ bydd yna daith unigol ar draws yr Iwerydd, o Tenerife i Barbados, yn aros iddo. Taith fydd yn cymryd rhwng 60 a 100 o ddyddiau. Wedyn ystyriwch hyn, mae Mike yn ddiabetig Math 1 ac yn ôl yn 2015 bu’n rhaid iddo fynd drwy ddwy lawdriniaeth i ail adeiladu ei ysgwyddau. Triniaeth a oedd yn golygu gosod tua 20 o biniau a rhodau yn ei gorff. Does fawr o syndod felly fod Mike yn galw y sialens hon yn ‘Her y Nodwyddau a’r Pinau’ gan godi prês i’r Gymdeithas y Clefyd Siwgwr. Bydd yn gwneud y ddwy daith yn ei gwch gyda’r enw addas iawn - MYNADD. Am ymdrech rhyfeddol sydd o’i flaen. Diolch Mike. No there is no appetite for a change of sports at the Traeth! No intention to switch football for rowing! But a supporter, and a committed rower, has announced his intention to raise money for the club in a way which, for most of us sounds novel but a tiny bit extreme. Mike Holt is the rower, originally from Port but now lives on the Wirral, and in June he intends to row from Porthmadog Harbour across the Irish Sea to Wicklow -and back. Now that journey, if the weather is fair, will take him 10 days. He invites supporters and his well-wishers to contribute to club funds and hopes to raise £5,000. You can donate to Mike’s fantastic effort on: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/michael-holt-4 He aims to support the future of the club and help develop the youth set-ups for girls and boys. Rowing from Port to Wicklow would be a lifetime achievement for most, but this challenge is just a warm-up for Mike for a much greater challenge which lies ahead. Next year he will undertake a solo row across the Atlantic from Tenerife to Barbados! A journey which will take between 60 and a 100 days. Then consider this; Mike is a Type 1 Diabetic and had to undergo double reconstructive surgery to both his shoulders in 2015. A treatment which involved putting some 20 titanium rods into his body. Hence Mike has named his challenge the ‘Needles and Pins Rowing Challenge’ and will be raising funds for Diabetes UK’’ He will undertake both journeys in his aptly named boat MYNADD (Welsh for Patience) What an effort in prospect thanks Mike. 31/01/23 ‘Chydig o ystadegau / A few stats A ni bellach 20 gêm fewn i dymor o 30 o gemau mae’n amser addas I edrych yn ôl.

Cyfranodd, yng nghanol y cae, ar adeg pan oedd Port heb Ifan Emlyn, Gethin Maxwell ac Alex Boss oherwydd anafiadau hir dymor. Er waetha’r canlyniadau siomedig yn ystod y cyfnod, dangosodd ei gwir dalent. Wrth ymadael diolchodd Caio i’r tîm hyfforddi, y staff a’r cefnogwyr, gan fynegi ei siom nad oedd wedi llwyddo i helpu i gasglu fwy o bwyntiau. Following a short stay at the Traeth Caio Hughes will be returning to his college in the United States to prepare for the new term. The talented attacking midfielder has filled in for the club at a time when midfelders Ifan Emlyn, Gethin Maxwell and Alex Boss have suffered lengthy injuries. Despite the disapponting results during the period, he has displayed his undoubted talent. Bidding farewell to the club Caio has tweeted; “Diolch i Craig Papirnyk Steve Williams a Ben Ogilvy and all supporters and staff at CPD Porthmadog for making my short time at the club very enjoyable. Gutted I couldn’t help pick up more points but good luck for the rest of the season. Now back to the US for an important term.” Diolch a phob lwc Caio. 27/01/23 Dyddiad newydd / New Date Mae yna ddyddiad newydd wedi’i drefnu ar gyfer y gêm gyda BWCLE .
