Match Report: Greyhound Cup Round 1 ❤️🖤
Full Time: Rhydyfelin Non-Pol FC 2 – 3 Ynysybwl FC

The lads welcomed Ynysybwl to the Non-Pol ground on Wednesday evening for Round 1 of the Greyhound Cup, eager to maintain our strong start to the campaign.

From the opening whistle, Rhydyfelin took control of the tempo, moving the ball sharply and creating a sustained series of high-quality chances. Despite testing the visitors' goalkeeper repeatedly, Ynysybwl held firm to keep the scores level at 0–0 heading into the break.

The second half began in similar fashion as we pressed forward, but a clinical counter-attack saw Ynysybwl take the lead. The boys showed tremendous character to respond quickly and level the match, but a rapid second and third goal from the visitors on the break left us chasing the game at 1–3.

Refusing to back down, the team pushed until the final whistle, pulling one back to make it 2–3 and creating several clear-cut opportunities that came agonisingly close to a deserved equaliser. Unfortunately, time ran out, and our cup run comes to an end after a fiercely contested cup tie.

A sincere congratulations to Ynysybwl FC on a disciplined, resilient defensive performance, especially their goalkeeper who pulled off a string of incredible saves to keep his side ahead. We wish them the best of luck in the next round of the cup.

MOM chosen by Ynysybwl was Our Captain Tom Turner. ❤️🖤

No time to dwell—our full focus immediately shifts to Saturday afternoon as we host Penydarren, ready to bounce straight back.

🔴 FULL TIME: RHYDYFELIN NON-POL FC RESERVES 10 - 2 YNYSYBWL FC RESERVES 🔴
What a performance and what a response from the lads at The Dungeon today in our TERV League Division 1 clash!

Coming off the back of two disappointing defeats, we were determined to get back to winning ways. Despite the thunderstorms and torrential rain, the pitch remained rock hard. We had hoped to start on the front foot, but Ynysybwl had other ideas early on, opening the scoring with a wonderful strike to put us 1-0 down.

Full credit to the boys, who didn't let the early setback faze them one bit. We quickly settled, got the ball down, and began completely controlling the tempo. Just after the 20-minute mark, Strawberry fired in our equaliser to get us rolling. From there, we never looked back, with Strawberry grabbing a second before Dylan Reid and Harlee Lock both found the net to give us a comfortable 4-1 lead going into the break.

The second half was pure dominance. We piled on the pressure and added another five goals, with Dylan Reid and Strawberry both in unstoppable form, finishing the afternoon with a massive four goals apiece! An own goal rounded off our tally, while Ynysybwl managed to grab a late consolation goal.

A fantastic, emphatic way to bounce back and secure all three points in style!

🔴⚫️ FULL TIME AT THE HOUSE OF PAIN ⚫️🔴

🏆 Bernard Martin Cup
🏟️ House of Pain
⚽️ Non Pol 8 – 0 Pontyclun Development

What a night @ the HOUSE OF PAIN for the Red & Black army!

Coming in off the back of a solid win against Trelewis, the gaffers made 5 changes to the starting XI—proving the unbelievable depth in this squad right now. We knew we were in for a proper cup battle against a sharp Pontyclun Development side who’ve started their season flying, and the opening 40 minutes was a proper end-to-end clash.

While the visitors tried to hit the channels, our backline stood firm, and it was only a matter of time before the pressure told. In the 41st minute, Jayden floated in a pinpoint ball for Dylan "Reidy" Reid to unleash a stunning volley to break the deadlock. That opened the floodgates, with Reidy grabbing another two quickfire goals before the break—both teed up by Gowen—to seal a first-half hat-trick! 💥

The second half was pure dominance. The boys turned the screw at the House of Pain, adding five more unanswered goals:
⚽️ Jayden getting on the scoresheet once again
⚽️ Fin making an instant impact off the bench
⚽️⚽️⚽️ ...and Reidy bagging another three to round off a
DOUBLE HAT-TRICK (6 GOALS)! 🎩🎩

A special shoutout to Gowen, who finished the evening as the ultimate provider with 4 assists, and to our defensive unit for securing our 2nd clean sheet in 3 games. 🧱🧤

⭐ Man of the Match: Dylan Reid – 6 goals, and unplayable from minute 1 to 90.

Thank you to the supporters who came down to get behind the boys! Onto the next round!

EVERYWHERE WE GO ❤️🖤

.

We had a very special visitor at our FA Welsh Cup game against Trelewis Welfare this weekend!

We were contacted via the TERV League by John Stancombe, a groundhopper from Lowestoft in North Suffolk who has been travelling to football grounds across Great Britain and Ireland for almost 40 years.

Rhydyfelin Non Pol FC became an incredible ground number 1,905! 👏⚽

For the past 20 years, John has been totally blind and travels to games by public transport, relying on the home club to help him get to and from the nearest station and provide someone to describe the action throughout the game.

As soon as John got in touch, our committee were determined to make sure we could make it happen. Our coaches arranged to pick John up from the train station and take him back afterwards, while Ian Pitman took on commentary duties for the afternoon – which was probably the perfect job for him considering he can talk for Wales 😂🎙️

John had left home at 5:30am to make the journey to Rhydyfelin, so after a long day we made sure he headed home with four cans for the journey too 🍻😂

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome John to our club and we're so glad we could play a small part in his incredible groundhopping journey.

Our motto “Everywhere We Go” seems pretty fitting for John as well! ❤️🖤

Thanks for visiting us, John – we hope ground 1,905 was one to remember!
