Merched o'r Strade yn mwynhau / Girls from Strade enjoying
(Scroll down for English)
Syrthiodd merched o ledled Sir Gar i drosglwyddo Parc y Scarlets i hafan pêl-droed ddoe. Chwaraeodd dros 150 o ferched o 10 ysgol er mwyn cynrychioli’r Sir Gar yn y rownd nesaf Cwpan CPD Dinas Abertawe.
Enillodd Dyffryn Taf y gêm derfynol yn erbyn Brenhines Elisabeth yn yr adran dan 16 oed. Yn yr adran dan 14 oed, cawsom gêm gyfartal rhwng Bryngwyn a Dyffryn Aman ar ôl amser ychwanegol! Yn anffodus, doedd dim amser i barhau gyda’r gêm, felly gêm gyfartal oedd y canlyniad terfynol gyda’r ddau dîm yn mynd trwy i’r rownd nesaf.
Fe fydd Bryngwyn a Dyffryn Aman yn mynd i Abertawe ym mis Ionawr i chwarae yn erbyn cynrychiolwyr o Sir Benfro, Abertawe a Chastell Nedd/Port Talbot. Pob lwc i chi!
Hefyd, yn bresennol roedd Colin Staples, sy’n gweithio a ran Ymddiriedolaeth Bêl-droed Cymru (YBDC) fel Swyddog Pêl-droed Sir Gar. Mae Colin wedi bod yn cyd-weithio gyda swyddogion 5×60 ers mis Medi 2010 er mwyn creu cynllun pêl droed i ferched.
Rhannwyd Sir Gar mewn i glystyrau; Llanelli, Gorllewin Sir Gar a Dinefwr. Gwahoddwyd ysgolion i chwarae gemau ‘mini’ yn erbyn ysgolion eraill yn yr un clwstwr sawl waith yn ystod y tymor. Diweddwyd gyda chystadleuaeth sirol ym mis Tachwedd a mis Mawrth ym Mharc y Scarlets.
Gosod carfan datblygiad Sir Gar i ferched roedd elfen bwysig y cynllun hefyd. Gwahoddwyd merched talentog gan swyddogion 5×60 a Colin Staples yn ystod gemau neu gystadlaethau i ymuno’r garfan. Cynhalir sesiwn cyntaf ym mis Ionawr 2012. Y gobaith yw bydd rhai o ferched yn bwydo mewn i’r garfan dan 17 oed Cymru ar hyd Canolfan Perfformiad Gorllewin Cymru a Charfan Datblygiad YBDC.
Un ferch sy wedi gwneud hynny yn barod yw Stacey Webber, cyn disgybl Ysgol Bryngwyn a nawr yn astudio yng Ngholeg Sir Gar.

Ro’n i’n chwarae pêl droed gyda CPD Dafen am bum mlynedd a ches i wahodd i ymuno’r Garfan Datblygiad Rhanbarthol. Ar ôl cyfnod, ces i fy rhyddhau o’r garfan a stopiais i chwarae. Ond llynedd, wnaeth Laura Thomas, ein swyddog 5×60, cofrestru tîm ysgol yn y twrnamaint 5×60. Chwaraeais i a nes i fwynhau mas draw! Gofynnodd Colin Staples i mi ymuno’r garfan Cymru dan 17 oed ac es i fas i Foldova i chwarae mewn cystadleuaeth ryngwladol! Dwi newydd gael fy ngwahodd i ymarfer gyda’r garfan dan 19 oed, hefyd! Dwi ddim yn credu a fyddai chwarae dros Gymru nawr os nag o’n i’n yn y twrnamaint 5×60 llynedd!
Gobeithio cawn ragor o ferched Sir Gar i gynrychioli Cymru ond rydym ymwybodol nad ydy hwnna’n bosib i bawb. Felly rydym yn awyddus iawn i helpu merched ymuno clybiau lleol. Os hoffech chi ddod o hyd clwb pêl-droed yn eich ardal chi, rhowch alwad i Colin Staples ar 01554 744 347 neu e-bostiwch, cstaples@carmarthenshire.gov.uk.

Girls from schools across Carmarthenshire turned Parc y Scarlets into a football haven yesterday. Over 150 girls from 10 schools played for the right to represent Carmarthenshire in the next round of the the Swansea City FC Cup.
In the Under 16 category, Dyffryn Taf beat Queen Elizabeth. In the Under 14 category we had a draw between Bryngwyn andAmmanValleyafter extra time! Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to continue with the game further, so the final result was a draw with both teams going through to the next stage.

Bryngwyn andAmmanValleywill go toSwanseain January to play representatives from Pembrokeshire,Swanseaand Neath/Port Talbot. Good luck!
Also in attendance was Colin Staples, who works for the Welsh Football Trust (WFT) as the county’s football development officer. 5×60 officers have been working with Colin since September 2010, when a plan for girl’s football in Carmarthenshire was formulated.
The county was split into clusters; Llanelli,West Carmsand Dinefwr, each school was invited to play mini matches against the other schools in their cluster on several occasions each term. This culminated in county tournaments at the end of term – held in November and March at Parc y Scarlets.
Another important aspect of the plan was to establish a county development squad. Talented girls identified by 5×60 officers and Colin Staples at cluster games or tournaments are to be invited to join the squad. The first session is to be held in January 2012. The hope is that some of them will eventually feed into the Wales Under 17 squad via the West Wales Performance Centre and the WFT development squads. One girl that has already done that is, Stacey Webber – a former pupil of BryngwynSchool and now at Coleg Sir Gar.
I used to do football for Dafen for about 5 years and got invited to join the West Wales Performance Centre. After a while I got released from the squad and stopped playing. Then last year, our 5×60 Officer, Laura Thomas, entered a school team into the 5×60 competition and I went along and really enjoyed it. Colin Staples then invited me to train with Wales Under 17s. I eventually got called up to go to a tournament in Moldova and I have now been invited to train with the Under 19s! If it hadn’t been for the 5×60 tournament, I wouldn’t be playing forWales now!
It is hoped that more Carmarthenshire girls represent Wales but unfortunately that isn’t possible for everyone. Therefore, girls are being encouraged to join their local clubs. If you would like to find a club in your area give Colin a call on 01554 744 347 or email – cstaples@carmarthenshire.gov.uk.
Great day had by all!
