Hoffai Clwb Cefnogwyr y Gweilch estyn croeso cynnes iawn i chwaraewyr, swyddogion a chefnogwyr Rygbi Connacht heno! Mwynhewch y gêm
The Ospreys Supporters Club would like to extend a warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Connacht Rugby tonight! Enjoy the match!
Please Support our sponsors!
Cefnogwch ein noddwyr, os gwelwch yn dda!
Every time I sit down to write the OSC pages these days, I am tempted to begin with, “Welcome to the Twilight Zone!” I think everyone will agree that we appear to have more than our fair share of late kick off times! Granted that television dictates so much in terms of KO times, but hang on; maybe its about time that the powers that be push for a more equitable distribution of prime time fixture times!
Pob tro dwi’n eistedd lawr i’w sgrifennu cyfraniad CCG y dyddiau hyn, dwi’n meddwl am ddechrau gyda, “Croeso i’r Parth Rhwng Dau Olau!” Mae’r amser wedi gyrraedd i edrych am ffordd o rhannu amserau gorau mas, tipyn yn well, na beth sy gyda ni ar y foment!
On to tonight’s game, following an entertaining game last week, I am sure that I speak for all supporters, when I say that I was more than a little disappointed with the final result! However, tonight’s encounter presents a fresh challenge, with a Connacht team fresh from a convincing win over our near neighbours the Scarlets! Congratulations are most deserving to the 14 Ospreys that are included in Wayne Pivac’s Autumn International Squad! I think that I speak for all, when I say that the inform Rhys Webb, Morgan Morris and Keelan Giles, are extremely unlucky to miss out on selection! It has to be said that Pivac’s loss is our gain, as the boys are sure, along with the rest of the squad, to give their all for the team tonight!
Dewch ymlaen bois, rhaid gwaeddi ag un llais heno, er mwyn codi calonau y tîm! Come on everyone, we need to shout with one voice tonight!

OSC Q&A Evening
I am sure that those supporters who came to this very successful evening, will agree that it was well worth the effort of attending! We were joined by Head Coach Toby Booth, Forwards Coach Richard Fussel and players Jack Morgan, Jack Walsh and Elvis Taione.
The evening was hosted by Scrum V presenter, Lauren Jenkins. The audience posed some thought provoking questions and some frank and honest replies.
I have to say, it would be nice to see more supporters attending these event, there is no charge for entry and they really are worth coming along to!
