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]
