Taff Vale Park - home from home

The Pontypridd RFC Mini & Junior sections are standing by to assist the club’s senior squad with their pre-season training.

It is hoped that the newly redeveloped Taff Vale Park, home of the Minis & Juniors, can be made available for senior pre-season training whilst the Sardis Road playing surface is being re-seeded.

In conjunction with “GrEW” Taff Vale Park is currently being restored to its former glory by an on-going maintenance programme. As a temporary measure it is hoped that the Ponty seniors will be able to use Taff Vale Park for summer training until Sardis is back to it's best.

Dean Gregory, Mow & Grow Team Leader GrEW, originally from Kent but now settled in the area said - "our GrEW team get a real buzz from helping the local community and to know that the Ponty team will train on a pitch that we have helped prepare is an even bigger buzz."
