Calon Lân — one of Wales’ most iconic hymns, and one with Ospreys connections running right through it!
Mynyddbach Chapel in Treboeth, Swansea is the home of the Calon Lân Centre, and the final resting place of Daniel James – Gwyrosydd – the man who wrote the words to Calon Lân.
And the Ospreys links don’t stop there! The words were written in Blaengarw, on the eastern edge of the region, while the music was composed by another local man, John Hughes of Landore, who is buried just down the road at Caersalem Chapel.
So yes — Calon Lân belongs right here in Ospreylia!
On Friday, August 14th, the Ospreys Supporters Club, together with the Calon Lân Centre and Ospreys in the Community, are putting on a special concert featuring the fantastic Gwalia Singers.
And don’t worry – this won’t just be a sit-and-listen evening. There’ll be plenty of chance for everyone to join in, helped along by our very own Ospreys Supporters Choir!
Dyma gyfle i ni i gyd ddathlu’r cysylltiad rhwng Calon Lân a’r Gweilch – y rhanbarth mwyaf llwyddiannus yng Nghymru!
It’s a chance to celebrate Welsh history, rugby pride, community spirit — and, of course, a proper good sing-song!
Tickets are just £10 for adults, with children going free, and that includes entry into a prize draw with some great prizes. Proceeds will be shared between the Calon Lân Centre and Ospreys in the Community, supporting brilliant work across the region.
There’s plenty of parking too.
You can get your tickets from the Ospreys Supporters Club Shop here:
Rydyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at eich gweld chi yno – dewch yn llu i ddathlu gyda ni!
And after the singing? We’ll see you for the afterglow at the very appropriately named Welcome Inn, right next door!
We look forward to seeing you there.
With five games spread across two months, it’s time to wrap up the 2025/26 player of the month awards with four well deserved nominees.
Just when we thought we’d started April with a European knockout win away at Ulster, the TMO fixed that for us, however our home form continued with wins over the Sharks and completing the double over Scarlets to sign off our time at the Bridgend Electric Brewery Field. Diolch Bridgend and a huge thanks to supporters to helped return some hwyl to the stand and terraces!

The Ospreys Supporters Club welcomes the news that PRA25 has been placed back on the table and that the Ospreys are now expected to sign an agreement aiming to secure professional rugby in our region into 2030. This is an important step forward, providing much-needed stability and allowing long-awaited work at St Helen’s to begin – this is hugely significant moment for our team, our region, our city and the wider game in Wales.
We would like to thank everyone who has played a part in ensuring the voice of the people who care about the game has been heard throughout this process: Ospreys supporters have been magnificent as well as supporters across Welsh rugby. Rob Stewart and the whole of Swansea City Council, most local MPs, and all those others who have stood up and challenged decisions that threatened the future of professional rugby in our region deserve recognition for their part they have played so far.
While we welcome this outcome, we should not forget the unnecessary distress caused by the way this process has been handled. For months, players, staff and supporters have been subjected to uncertainty that should never have been allowed to develop. The damage caused by that instability has been real, and entirely avoidable.
The opportunity to sign PRA25 is a positive development, but it does not resolve our deep concerns over the WRU’s continued intention to reduce the number of elite professional clubs from four to three in 2028, through a clause retained within PRA25.
Our position remains unchanged: four professional clubs are vital for the future of Welsh rugby. Reducing the professional game to three sides is not a strategy for renewal, it risks weakening participation, supporter engagement and the long term strength and success of the game across Wales.
The OSC will continue to oppose any move to reduce the number of professional clubs and will continue to campaign, constructively and robustly, in the best interests of Welsh rugby as a whole.
The news brings relief and progress, and we welcome that wholeheartedly. But this is not the end, it is the beginning of the next phase in ensuring a sustainable future.
This is our game.
Congratulations to Sam Parry on winning his third (and richly deserved) OSCA! Inspirational on the field, respected off it, Sam has become a standout figure for both supporters and teammates.
A true Ospreys warrior through and through.

The Ospreys Supporters Club are extremely disappointed, though not surprised, by the outcome of last night’s WRU EGM, where it was confirmed that plans remain in place to remove one of the elite professional teams in West Wales.
Despite recent leadership changes, the WRU’s position remains unchanged. This only reinforces our view that those making these decisions are increasingly out of touch with the very people who sustain Welsh rugby – community clubs, supporters, and local representatives.
The current situation Welsh rugby finds itself in is not accidental; it is the result of years of chronic mismanagement and neglect at the top of the game. Attempting to remove a professional side in order to correct those failings is unacceptable and risks causing lasting damage to the sport in one of its strongest heartlands.
This approach further exposes a deeply fractured relationship between the WRU and the wider rugby community. One characterised by a lack of trust, poor transparency, and decisions imposed rather than earned. It reinforces the sense that the same top-down, heavy-handed culture remains firmly in place.
We stand firmly behind the need for four competitive professional teams and call on the WRU to urgently reconsider its position, rebuild trust through genuine engagement, and work collaboratively with stakeholders before further damage is done to Welsh rugby.
In many families, sport is more than just entertainment, it becomes part of the rhythm of life, a tradition that brings people together. For us, that sport was rugby.
Our mum was never someone who followed every match or every league. But when it came to the Six Nations, she was all in. Those matches were a fixture of our childhood. No matter what was going on, we would all gather around the television as a family, sharing the highs, the lows, and every bit of pride that came with watching Wales play.
As we grew older, that tradition didn’t fade. Even into adulthood, and right up until she passed away, our mum never missed a Wales game in the Six Nations. It was one of her great yearly joys.
She passed away during one of those matches, Wales versus England. At half-time, Wales were winning, but in the second half, England came back to take the game. In the years since, we’ve often joked, with the kind of bittersweet humour only families understand, that she simply couldn’t stay around to watch England win.
After she passed, my brother and I wanted to honour her in a meaningful way. With the little money she left us, we bought Ospreys season tickets, something we’d talked about for years but had never quite managed to do. It felt like the right way to keep rugby, and her memory, close to us.
Since then, we’ve been to nearly every home game. Each match is more than just a sporting event; it’s a reminder of where our love for rugby began, of the countless afternoons spent together, and of the special place the game holds in our family’s story.
The Ospreys have become part of how we stay connected to her, a living tradition built on the one she started. Through every kick, tackle, and try, she’s still there with us in spirit, cheering Wales on just as loudly as she always did.
