Sport in Wenvoe

FOOTBALL - WENVOE COLTS

Wenvoe Colts was set up by a group of parents in 1995 to allow local children to represent Wenvoe in the Vale of Glamorgan Football League. The club has teams for children from the age of 7 to 17. 

Although Wenvoe Colts is one of the smaller Clubs in the League, our teams have always done well and regularly succeed at various tournaments held throughout the Vale.

Wenvoe Colts offers all local children the chance to participate in football whatever their ability. As well as being a great way to exercise, the children benefit by playing a team sport and build up great friendships with their fellow players. They also get to represent the village throughout the Vale of Glamorgan.

GOLF

Wenvoe Castle Golf Club, located on the edge of the village, boasts one of the finest inland golf courses in Wales, having hosted a European Professional Tour Event as well as local and national Amateur Competitions.

The club has many playing and social members from the village and has made a considerable effort to encourage youngsters to take up the game and now have a Junior section some 60 strong. With the help of volunteers and the Club Professional, our junior players are very successful at local and national level.

The Golf Club is a popular venue for social events, open to members and non-members alike, such as Weddings, Christenings, Anniversaries, Dinners, BBQ’s, Dances, Quiz nights and Bridge evenings as well as offering normal restaurant and bar facilities.

PÉTANQUE CLUB

Wenvoe Pétanque Club is lucky enough to boast two separate Terrains - the larger of the two is based at Wenvoe Playing Fields in Station Road - this is used mainly for social play (Sunday mornings) and for hosting larger events and can comfortably accommodate up to 16 Pistes.

The smaller, but more challenging, Terrain is located in the car park of the Wenvoe Arms public house, which is situated in the heart of the village and provides 4 Pistes, used for League Competitions, but is also available for social play for smaller numbers of players.

The Club currently has a membership in excess of 30, most of whom are regular players, and fields 3 Teams in the South Wales League.

You’re welcome to have a go on three occasions before you make up your mind, if you do decide you’d like to join the Club.

BADMINTON GROUP

We have been meeting since the 1970s and some of our players belonged to an earlier badminton club in the village, which played on a more competitive basis.

The present group has around fourteen members and we play every Tuesday evening and also meet up for social events.

CRICKET

In 1893 the grounds and square of the newly formed cricket club were situated within the Jenner Estate. The players were workers from the estates and from the village. As time passed the village of Wenvoe grew and the club membership was formed from members of the village.

In 1993 the Wenvoe Cricket Club celebrated its centenary with a 40 over game against Glamorgan and also organised other celebratory games.

For the last thirty years the club has been part of South East Wales club cricket organised through affiliation to the M.C.C.

In playing terms Wenvoe has always fielded two teams every Saturday and has given a good account of itself and has won some of the leagues in which they have been entered, particularly in the last decade in 1996 and 2001.
