OUR JOURNEY

A new club. The right reasons.

The club began with 18 registered children forming two U9 teams, qualified coaches, established safeguarding procedures and two professionally marked, age-appropriate pitches. We train together under one shared club identity and provide fair opportunities for every child.

THE KIT JOURNEY

More than a shirt.

The kit was not simply chosen from a catalogue. It was developed as a visual story of where we have come from, the community we represent and the future we want to build. White, black and gold give the club one strong identity; the road and hills symbolise the journey, with The Cyw leading us forward. The club crest and support of Ty Malabar Pencoed connect the design to the people who helped make the beginning possible.

The journey to the start

Every line represents the idea, planning, volunteers, sponsors and community work that carried the club towards its first match.

The child’s journey

For every child who wears the shirt, it begins a story of their own—friendship, confidence, learning, enjoyment and memories that grow with every session.

One shirt. One team.

Every player wears the same crest. It reminds each child that they belong, are respected and are part of The Cyw’s future.
