Ynysygerwn wish to acknowledge the retirement of the chairman Gwyn Richards after over 17 years in the role. Gwyn was only the 10th Chairman since the club was formed in 1847.

​

Gwyn played for Ynysygerwn during the successful years in the 70’s / 80’s including a trip to Lords for the final of the Village cup in 1979 and a championship winning side the same year.

​

Gwyn joined the committee and served a number of years before becoming Chairman in the early 2000’s.

Gwyn has been a loyal and hard working member of the club, and we wish to acknowledge and thank Gwyn for his many years of continued service.

Barrie Davies is the newly elected Chairperson having been a member of the club for a number of years. He has been Chair of the Football section for the last 7 years overseeing the progression of Ynysygerwn AFC into the third division of the Welsh League 3 years ago, and the side now being a strong member of that league. The football section og the club has flourished and now boasts 3 senior sides and 11 Mini/ Junior sides who are also tasting success. We wish Barrie good fortune in his new tenure as Chair of Ynysygerwn Sports and Social Club.
