Mae gan Gwalia United gynlluniau uchelgeisiol iawn. Stadiwm newydd, chwaraewyr yng ngharfan Cymru ac, yn bennaf oll, cyrraedd prif adran clybiau Lloegr, y Women's Super League. Hyn oll o fewn y pum mlynedd nesaf. Dau yng nghanol y prosiect ydi Trystan Bevan a Casi Gregson. Tra bod Trystan yn defnyddio ei brofiad helaeth ym myd rygbi proffesiynol i geisio gosod y sylfaen am gynnydd a llwyddiant oddi ar y cae, sgorio goliau yw nod Casi er mwyn cychwyn y daith o drydedd haen Lloegr i'r brig. Mae'r ddau yn esbonio wrth Ows a Mal sut yn union maen nhw'n bwriadu gwneud hynny...

Rhodri Davies sy'n sgwrsio gyda Dewi Davies ar drothwy Cyfarfod Blynyddol y mudiad.

Mae bron i saith mlynedd bellach wedi mynd heibio ers i Gymru chwarae yn Stadiwm Principality, ond fydd hynny'n newid cyn hir o dan gynllun Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru. Ymateb cymysg sydd wedi bod gan y cefnogwyr, ond mae Ows a Mal yn gweld synnwyr y syniad er mwyn paratoi at y posibilrwydd o chwarae gemau yn y stadiwm yn Ewro 2026...cyn belled bod gemau rhagbrofol ddim yn symud o Stadiwm Dinas Caerdydd.Mae cryn amser hefyd ers i Wrecsam golli gymaint o gemau. QPR oedd y diweddaraf i guro criw y Cae Ras ddydd Sadwrn. Oes 'na bwysau ar y rheolwr Phil Parkinson? Mae gan Ows neges chwyrn at unrhyw gefnogwr sy'n galw am ei ddiswyddo. Ac mae gan Dyl her annisgwyl i Conor Coady...

Roedd 'na gyfle i gael cip o'r dyfodol yn Abertawe wrth i rai o chwaraewyr ifanc Cymru wynebu tîm graenus Canada mewn gêm gyfeillgar. Ac er colli 1-0, mi welodd y criw ddigon i gredu bod 'na genhedlaeth newydd yn barod i dorri drwodd. Digon i'r rheolwr Craig Bellamy - doedd ddim rhy hapus gyda dathliadau'r ymwelwyr - asesu cyn y ddwy her enfawr i ddod yn erbyn Lloegr a Gwlad Belg fis nesaf.Nôl i'r bara menyn dros y penwythnos wrth i'r gemau clybiau ddychwelyd, a chyfle i Wrecsam ac Abertawe gynnwys rhai o'r chwaraewyr arwyddodd ar ddiwedd y ffenestr drosglwyddo am y tro cyntaf.

Rhodri Davies sy'n holi Ysgrifennydd Clwb Dofednod Cymru, Dai Davies.

Roedd hi'n bell o fod yn gyfforddus, ond llwyddodd Cymru i adael Kazakhstan gyda thri phwynt hollbwysig yn rowndiau rhagbrofol Cwpan y Byd - tri phwynt sydd yn mynd â nhw i frig y grŵp. Rhoddodd gôl Kieffer Moore y sylfaen berffaith i Gymru yn yr hanner cyntaf, ond siomedig oedd yr ail hanner. Tarodd y tîm cartref y trawst ddwywaith - gydag un o'r ergydion hynny yn dod gyda chic ola'r gêm. Oes 'na le i boeni am y perfformiad, ta'r canlyniad ydi'r unig beth sy'n cyfri? Roedd 'na dipyn o anghytuno ynglŷn â hynny rhwng y criw!Ond un peth sy'n sicr, roedd pawb wedi rhyfeddu gan berfformiad di-fai Dylan Lawlor yng nghanol yr amddiffyn wrth iddo ennill ei gap cyntaf. Seren newydd y dyfodol

All Three are back and this week they discuss, Wrexham's game at Millwall, Cymru away at Kazakhstan, Nick Chadwick leaving the academy, Wrexham Women's new signings and the actual results from their friendlies, Wrexham men's final squad list, look forward to Briton Ferry Llansawell Women v Wrexham Women and Cymru v Canada.

Am y tro cyntaf ers sbel, mae gan y criw ddigon o reswm i deimlo'n obeithiol am obeithion clybiau Cymru. Yn ogystal â chanlyniadau addawol, mae Abertawe wedi cryfhau'r garfan gan wario'n sylweddol ar chwaraewyr newydd am y tro cyntaf ers tro.

Rhodri Davies sy'n trafod dathliad pen-blwydd yr undeb yn 70 oed gyda Rhys Davies.

What if death could knock on your door — quite literally — before claiming a life? Would you answer? Would you believe it? And what strange thread connects these events in Wales to a death in America? In this eerie real-life account from 19th-century Wales, a tailor living in a remote farmhouse near Newcastle Emlyn is disturbed by strange and persistent sounds — knocking at doors and windows, ghostly wailing in the night, and an uncanny sense that something is coming. Witnesses hear it too. The knocking grows louder. And then it reaches a crescendo… But the story doesn't end there. In fact, it's only when news arrives from across the Atlantic that the full meaning of these uncanny spirit sounds becomes clear. On this episode, Mark explores a chilling tale of death omens, haunted houses, and the old folk belief that death itself gives warning — if you know how to listen.

Why do people report ghostly knights, phantom horses and spectral visions during the full moon in this Welsh beauty spot? What ancient force still lingers atop Cefn Bryn?  On this episode, Mark journeys to the windswept heights of Gower during the summer solstice to investigate one of Wales's oldest and most mysterious sites — a place steeped in druidic ritual, pagan legend, and haunting lore. Is this neolithic tomb truly connected to King Arthur? Did Merlin himself walk these lands? And what really happens at midnight when the capstone stirs and the spirits rise? From love-seeking rituals involving ghostly cakes, to tales of Dylan Thomas invoking the dead, this is one eerie pilgrimage you won't forget.

And then bam(!), another one, as yet another aspect of intense Robins c.1994-2004 hits you smack in the face. This is one such episode.But don't worry it's not all too harrowing, for there's a huge and extremely handsome surprise for Producer Dave, and a couple of absolutely top tier Mad Dads. Plus, Elis just simply needs to connect, as the words ‘Derby' and ‘County' are floated regarding his Cymru form.

What kind of spectral creature leaps onto a corpse, rides in the hearse, and disappears into the mourners at the graveside? In this folkloric lucky dip of ghostly odds and ends, Mark Rees unearths the eerie tales too strange, too short, or too scattered to fit anywhere else… until now. Why did a grand Welsh mansion blaze with phantom lights long after its owner had died? Who — or what — tormented a hardworking farmer until he uncovered a buried secret? And did a goblin really make a house vanish from sight, or were two young women led astray by something darker? From ghost dogs and death omens to haunted bridges, mischievous poltergeists, and vanishing homes, this episode weaves together a chilling patchwork of Wales' most unsettling folklore. Are these forgotten legends mere superstition — or do they hint at a deeper truth buried beneath the soil of haunted Wales?

The Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast explores the eerie world of Welsh ghosts, ghost stories, lore, myths, and legends. Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales, Paranormal Wales) in early 2020, this weird and wonderful podcast delves into the country's countless curious subjects, blending decades of research from books and articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes. From "real-life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded monthly and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons, with the odd wicked — and not-so-wicked — witch along the way. Alongside the regular stories, you can expect the occasional special guest, live ghost hunts, and all sorts of quirky surprises from a Welsh storyteller with original ideas. Seasonal specials include dark folklore and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions, plus everyone's favourite skull-headed Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd. Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and cascading waterfalls to bustling cities and remote farms, journey through the paranormal and unexplained in all corners of Cymru. Think of it as unlocking the Welsh X-Files with some tenuous Ghostbusters references and terrible sound effects along the way!  Be sure to subscribe so you never miss a spooky episode.
