Treherbert BGC is a Welsh football club based in Treherbert, Rhondda Cynon Taf. The team currently plays in the Ardal SW League.

History

Treherbert Boys and Girls Club was founded in 1935. They formed a senior football team in 2017, and won the Rhondda & District League Division One in their first season.[1]

In 2020, the club were champions of the Rhondda & District League Premier Division. They had initially missed out on promotion to the South Wales Alliance League Division Two by points per game,[2] but in August a 15 point deduction for Gwynfi United confirmed Treherbert's promotion to the South Wales Alliance League.[3] The 2020–21 season was not played due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but in the following two seasons they were promoted twice, as Division Two champions and Division One runners-up.[4]

The club competed in the 2023–24 Welsh Cup, reaching the second qualifying round, where they lost 5–1 to Mumbles Rangers.[5]

Treherbert finished third in the 2023–24 South Wales Alliance League Premier Division, gaining promotion to the Ardal Leagues.[4]

In the 2024–25 season, they finished 9th in their first season in the Ardal South West.[4] They also reached the first round of the 2024–25 Welsh Cup, losing on penalties after a 1–1 draw against Clwb Cymric.[6]

The following season, the club again entered the Welsh Cup, but lost in the first qualifying round against fifth-tier AFC Wattstown.[7]

Ground

The club plays at Baglan Field in the Penyrenglyn area of Treherbert. In 2021 Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council announced plans to create a 3G facility at Baglan Field,[8] which was opened by Rob Page in November 2022.[1]

The 3G pitch at Baglan Field has also been used by Baglan FC, Treorchy RFC, Treherbert RFC, Rhondda Schools Rugby, and Ynyshir Albions seconds. The small-sided pitches are used by Penyrenglyn school.[9]
