A Momentous Day...(lifted from my blog posts)
Part 17 ....a Momentous Day in Rugby history.....
Yesterday all roads led to Sardis Road in Pontypridd.
The occasion...the Welsh Premiership Cup semi-final against the team from the other end of Newport Road.
We used to play Cardiff four times a season but had never done the quadruple.
The nature of this season gave us the chance to make history.
And by golly we did...with our superb season (just two defeats)continuing apace.
The lead changed hands several times and I got a bit apoplectic when our captain,OB,declined a kickable penalty at 24-
25 and went for the corner.
Fortunately we scored and OB converted.
But we had a few dodgy moments in injury time.
But now it is off to the millennium stadium on April 24th....for a final against Aberavon who we have beaten twice this season.
But before the final we might well clinch the league....

On another note was good to hear from Yulianna🇺🇦 this week..but as long as this war continues I will be worrying about her...I miss those well timed sheep remarks!

Rhan 17 ....Diwrnod Pwysig yn Hanes Rygbi.....
Ddoe roedd yr holl ffyrdd yn arwain at Heol Sardis ym Mhontypridd.
Yr achlysur...cynderfynol Cwpan Uwch Gynghrair Cymru yn erbyn y tîm o ben arall Heol Casnewydd.
Roedden ni’n arfer chwarae Caerdydd bedair gwaith y tymor ond erioed wedi gwneud y pedwarplyg.
Roedd natur y tymor hwn yn rhoi cyfle i ni greu hanes.
A thrwy golly fe wnaethom...gyda'n tymor gwych (dim ond dwy golled) yn parhau'n gyflym.
Newidiodd y blaen ddwylo sawl gwaith a ches i braidd yn apoplectic pan wrthododd ein capten, OB, gic gosb o 24-
25 ac a aeth am y gongl.
Yn ffodus fe wnaethon ni sgorio a throsi OB.
Ond fe gawson ni rai eiliadau amheus mewn amser anafiadau.
Ond nawr mae hi wedi mynd i stadiwm y mileniwm ar Ebrill 24ain...ar gyfer rownd derfynol yn erbyn Aberafan yr ydym wedi curo ddwywaith y tymor hwn.
Ond cyn y rownd derfynol mae'n ddigon posib y byddwn ni'n ennill y gynghrair....

Ar nodyn arall braf oedd clywed gan Yulianna🇺🇦 wythnos yma..ond tra bod y rhyfel yma'n parhau mi fydda i'n poeni amdani...dwi'n gweld eisiau'r sylwadau defaid sydd wedi'u hamseru'n dda
