Support Cefn’s historic return to Cae Gof tonight
Welsh League football finally arrives in Cefn this evening! Support Cefn Cribwr FC as the village club welcomes Pontyclun to Cae Gof for its historic competitive homecoming tonight, Tuesday 23rd July.
This will be the Riders first home league fixture in over 2 years, the first since the club won promotion to the Ardal South leagues. A requirement of the Welsh league was new facilities and major improvements at Cae Gof.
Through the very hard work of its committee members, players and supporters – all volunteers and the generous support of sponsors, donors and the community council, the club has successfully secured a tier 2 licence from the FAW to bring Welsh league football to the village.
Kick-off is 7.00pm. Admission is £5 for adults and £3 (concessions). All welcome to cheer on the riders.

In memory of the much-loved teammate and fire fighter Dan Jones, Kenfig Hill RFC will play the Welsh Fire Service Rugby for the Dan Jones Cup this Saturday 27th July.

There will be plenty going on off the pitch too with the club burger bar open, a visit by Vintage Whippy ice cream van, fun for the children by R&B Inflatables and live entertainment in the evening by the band “The Story Goes”.
