Newyddion clwb
November - December 2023
Bridgend were successful at Welsh 4s, with the U18s finishing 1st and the Div 1 team finishing second. Our U14s team had a great time competing in their first tournament. Our youngest members have continued to attend Welsh development sessions with the hope of representing their country sometime soon.
Bridgend dolphins secured promotion from South West Div4 to Div3 with a very strong performance, winning every match at Cheltenham convincingly.
The club has bought some XL kit using a grant from the millennium stadium charitable trust and it will be great to be increasingly inclusive of bigger builds.
We ended the year with a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas meal. We all looked very smart in new kit paid for by Orgenda-Luxe Exclusive Holiday Homes, Evolved Property Solutions, Three Sixty Capital Partners and 1922lawltd Property Specialists. Many thanks to them.

Roedd Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr yn llwyddiannus yn gystadleuaeth 4 pob ochr Cymru, gyda'r tîm dan 18 yn gorffen yn 1af a thîm Div 1 yn gorffen yn ail. Cafodd ein tîm dan 14 amser gwych yn cystadlu yn eu twrnamaint cyntaf. Mae ein haelodau ieuengaf wedi parhau i fynychu sesiynau datblygu tîm Cymru gyda’r gobaith o gynrychioli eu gwlad rywbryd yn fuan.
Llwyddodd dolffiniaid Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr i sicrhau dyrchafiad o Div4 i Div3 y De Orllewin gyda pherfformiad cryf iawn, gan ennill pob gêm yn Cheltenham.
Mae'r clwb wedi prynu cit XL gan ddefnyddio grant gan elusennol stadiwm y mileniwm a bydd yn wych bod yn fwy cynhwysol o bobl o bob maint a siâp.
Daeth y flwyddyn i ben gyda chinio Nadolig hynod o bleserus. Roeddem ni i gyd yn edrych yn smart iawn mewn cit newydd y talwyd amdano gan Orgenda-Luxe Exclusive Holiday Homes, Evolved Property Solutions, Three Sixty Sapital Partners ac arbenigwyr eiddo 1922lawltd. Diolch yn fawr iddyn nhw.
