2 ROB PAGE Vauxhall Motors has been manufacturing and selling cars in the UK since Just as our vehicles have been part of the fabric of British life for over 100 years, we ve been celebrating Britain s football culture with our sponsorship of the England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales national teams since As proud sponsor of the Wales Team, we created the #GetIN campaign to celebrate the moments of elation big and small that happen during football. Those little moments when we all come together the winning goals, the blue sky, the BBQs with friends they re all #GetIN moments. Your team making the final? That s a #GetIN moment too. These moments unite fans, from die-hard supporters who watch every game to those who switch on just for the final; we encourage everyone to celebrate. To find out more on the campaign, competitions, exclusive access to players and latest news, visit I D LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE WALES U21 TEAM AS WE PREPARE FOR QUALIFICATION MATCHES AGAINST BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA AND ROMANIA AT THE BANGOR CITY FOOTBALL STADIUM. These are two tough games but are encounters that we are very much looking forward to. The U21 age group is all about developing players and giving them an experience of international football to prepare them for making the step up to Chris Coleman s senior squad. However, it is also vitally important that we are competitive in order to give ourselves the best chance of qualifying for major tournaments at this level. We therefore have to ensure that we have the right balance between development and competitiveness; and this is an exciting time for Welsh football as we have made a good start to our qualifying campaign and have seen players such as Ben Woodburn, Ethan Ampadu and David Brooks being called-up by Chris to the senior squad. We have been competitive in our matches to date with two wins from three away games. The victory in our opening qualifier against Switzerland was a massive statement for youth football. The Swiss have been renowned for their development of players over the years and it was exceptional to get such a convincing victory there. We found it tough against a very good Portugal team, who were excellent in front of a 15,000-strong home crowd, but despite falling short we took a lot of learnings from the match. In Liechtenstein we produced another positive performance and achieved a fantastic result. Our creativity could have led to more than the three goals that we got on the night, which was very pleasing. So, this sets everything up rather nicely for our next two games against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Romania. If we can recreate the levels of performance that we have done so far in qualifying, it will give us the best possible chance of getting positive results here at home. Enjoy the matches, ROB PAGE HOFFWN FANTEISIO AR Y CYFLE YMA I DDIOLCH I CHI GYD AM GEFNOGI TÎM CYMRU DAN21 WRTH I NI BARATOI AR GYFER Y GEMAU RHAGBROFOL YN ERBYN BOSNIA- HERZEGOVINA A ROMANIA YN STADIWM DINAS BANGOR. Mae dwy gêm anodd o n blaen ond rydym ni n edrych ymlaen yn fawr. Pwrpas y grŵp oedran DAN21 yw datblygu a rhoi profiad o bêldroed rhyngwladol i chwaraewyr er mwyn eu paratoi nhw ar gyfer y cam tuag at garfan uwch Chris Coleman. Er hyn, mae n hanfodol bwysig ein bod ni n gystadleuol er mwyn rhoi r cyfle gorau i ni gymhwyso ar gyfer twrnameintiau mawr ar y lefel hon. Mae n rhaid i ni felly sicrhau fod gennym y cydbwysedd iawn rhwng datblygiad a r awydd i gystadlu. Mae hi n amser cyffrous iawn ar gyfer y gêm yng Nghymru gan ein bod ni wedi cael cychwyn da yn ein hymgyrch rhagbrofol. Yn ogystal â hyn rydym wedi gweld chwaraewyr megis Ben Woodburn, Ethan Ampadu a David Brooks yn cael eu croesawu i r garfan broffesiynol gan Chris. Hyd yn hyn, rydym wedi bod yn gystadleuol yn ein gemau i gyd wrth ennill dwy o r dair gêm oddi cartref. Roedd y fuddugoliaeth yn ein gêm ragbrofol gyntaf yn erbyn y Swistir yn dangos y datblygiad aruthrol mewn pêl droed ieuenctid. Mae r Swisiaid wedi bod yn adnabyddus am ddatblygu chwaraewyr ers blynyddoedd ac felly roedd cael buddugoliaeth mor argyhoeddiadol yn eu herbyn yn arbennig. Roedd hi n anodd chwarae yn erbyn tîm cryf o Bortiwgal yn chwarae n eithriadol o dda o flaen torf gartref o 15,000 ond, er gwaetha ein methiant, mi wnaethom ddysgu llawer o r gêm honno. Yn Liechtenstein, fe wnaethom sicrhau perfformiad da arall a chael canlyniad ardderchog. Er byddai ein creadigrwydd wedi gallu arwain at fwy na thair gôl ar y noson, roedden ni n falch dros ben gyda r canlyniad. Felly, mae hyn oll yn ein gosod mewn safle cryf ar gyfer y ddwy gêm nesaf yn erbyn Bosnia-Herzegovina a Romania. Os y gallwn lwyddo i ail-greu safon y perfformio ry ni wedi cyrraedd hyd yma n yr ymgyrch, bydd gennym y cyfle gorau posib o gael canlyniadau da yma ac oddi cartref. Mwynhewch y gemau, ROB PAGE THE WALES TEAM SPONSOR 3

3 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA ROMANIA BOSNIA HERZEGOFINA RWMANIA MANAGER VINKO MARINOVIC BRINGS HIS BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA SIDE TO WALES HIGH IN CONFIDENCE FOLLOWING THEIR SURPRISING AND IMPRESSIVE 3-1 VICTORY OVER PORTUGAL LAST MONTH. LEVEL WITH WALES ON SIX POINTS IN GROUP 8, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA HAVE PLAYED A GAME MORE THAN ROB PAGE S SIDE, AND WILL NOW BE LOOKING TO ADD CONSISTENCY TO THE SECOND HALF OF THE QUALIFYING CAMPAIGN. Bosnia and Herzegovina opened the group back in March with a resounding 6-0 win over Liechtenstein in Zenica. Mico Kuzmanovic grabbed a brace in the victory, and was amongst five different goalscorers as the group minnows were comfortably brushed aside. However, the side were unable to capitalise on the victory when they travelled to Switzerland for their next qualifier in June, and an early goal from Swiss captain Nicolas Haas proved to be the difference between the two sides in Biel. Returning to Zenica to host Romania in September, Bosnia and Herzegovina had the perfect start when they took the lead through an own goal from Dragos Nedelcu after 23 minutes, but the visitors regrouped and responded to eventually win the match 3-1. Despite the setback, Marinovic s side produced their best performance and result against Portugal last month, as goals from Besim Serbecic, Ermedin Demirovic and Luka Menalo sealed a famous 3-1 victory. Bosnia and Herzegovina have never qualified for the finals of the UEFA Under-21 tournament. The closest they have come to reaching the finals was in 2007 but they lost out to the Czech Republic in the play-offs. Later, in 2013, they missed out to eventual group winners Germany in a qualifying campaign that saw them score 25 goals in ten games. THE CURRENT GROUP 8 LEADERS AFTER WINNING THREE OF THEIR OPENING FOUR GAMES, ROMANIA ARE THE EARLY PACESETTERS, BUT FACE A CRUCIAL QUALIFIER AGAINST PORTUGAL IN OVIDIU BEFORE HEADING TO WALES FOR THEIR SECOND GAME IN THIS INTERNATIONAL WEEK. UNDEFEATED AND CURRENTLY BOASTING THE BEST DEFENSIVE RECORD IN THE GROUP, THIS WILL BE A DEFINING DOUBLE-HEADER FOR DANIEL ISAILA S SIDE. Two goals from George Puscas ensured that Romania would open their qualifying campaign with a 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein at Eschen in June, and Puscas was again on target as his side came from behind against Bosnia and Herzegovina in September to maintain their perfect start with a 3-1 win. Romania returned to Ovidiu to take on Switzerland a few days later, and despite Dimitri Oberlin giving the visitors the lead midway through the opening half, Puscas continued his goalscoring form with the equaliser just a few minutes later, and that was how it stayed. The two sides met again in Lugano last month, and it was Romania that would take the points as goals from Mihai Dobre and Alexandru Cicaldau earned Isaila s team a 2-0 victory. With four goals in as many games, George Puscas will be the key figure to watch when the side head to Wales, and having played 17 games at this level he is something of a veteran. Currently on-loan at Italian side Benevento from Inter Milan, he scored the goal that confirmed promotion to Serie A for his side back in June. Meanwhile, Welsh fans may recognise midfielder Marco Dulca, who currently plays for Swansea City at youth level. Romania have only qualified for the finals of the UEFA Under-21 tournament once, and they achieved a perfect record in qualifying to win all eight games back in The finals would also be hosted in Romania, but a 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands in the opening round ended their participation in the tournament which only featured eight teams, and was eventually won by Spain. MAE R RHEOLWR VINKO MARINOVIC YN DOD Â I GARFAN BOSNIA A HERZEGOVINA DRAW I GYMRU N LLAWN HYDER YN DILYN BUDDUGOLIAETH SYFRDANOL A THRAWIADOL YN ERBYN PORTIWGAL FIS DIWETHAF. YN HAFAL Â CHYMRU AR CHWE PHWYNT YN GRŴP 8, MAE BOSNIA A HERZEGOVINA WEDI CHWARAE GÊM YN FWY NA CHARFAN ROB PAGE AC YN GOBEITHIO SICRHAU PERFFORMIADAU MWY CYSON YN AIL HANNER EU HYMGYRCH RAGBROFOL. Roedd Bosnia a Herzegovina n rhan o gêm agoriadol y grŵp nôl ym mis Mawrth, gyda buddugoliaeth argyhoeddedig yn erbyn Lichtenstein yn Zenica. Sgoriodd Mico Kuzmanovic ddwy gôl yn y fuddugoliaeth fel un o bum sgoriwr gwahanol a lwyddodd i wthio r gwrthwynebwyr yn hawdd i un ochr. Fodd bynnag, methodd y garfan i adeiladu ar y fuddugoliaeth pan aethon nhw i r Swistir ar gyfer eu gêm ragbrofol nesaf ym mis Mehefin, gyda gôl gynnar gan gapten Swistir, Nicolas Haas, yn gosod y gwahaniaeth rhwng y ddau dîm yn Biel. Gan ddychwelyd i Zenica i groesawu Rwmania ym mis Medi, cafodd Bosnia a Herzegovina y cychwyn perffaith gan fynd ar y blaen diolch i gôl yn ei rwyd ei hun gan Dragos Nedelcu wedi 23 munud. Ond daeth yr ymwelwyr yn ôl i ennill y gêm o 3-1 yn y diwedd. Er gwaetha r golled honno, sicrhaodd garfan Marinovic eu perfformiad a u canlyniad gorau yn erbyn Portiwgal fis diwethaf wrth i goliau gan Besim Serbecic, Ermedin Demirovic a Luka Menalo sicrhau buddugoliaeth enwog o 3-1. Tydi Bosnia a Herzegovina erioed wedi cymhwyso ar gyfer rowndiau terfynol twrnamaint dan 21 UEFA. Er dod yn agos yn 2007, colli bu eu hanes yn erbyn Y Weriniaeth Tsiec yn y gemau ail gyfle. Yna yn 2013, Yr Almaen oedd enillwyr y grŵp mewn ymgyrch ble sgoriodd Bosnia a Herzegovina 25 gôl mewn 10 gêm. AR FRIG GRŴP 8 AR HYN O BRYD WEDI ENNILL TRI ALLAN O BEDWAR O U GEMAU AGORIADOL, ROMANIA SYDD WEDI GOSOD Y SAFON YN Y GRŴP. OND MAEN NHW N WYNEBU GÊM GALED YN ERBYN PORTIWGAL YN OVIDIU CYN DOD DRAW I GYMRU AR GYFER EU HAIL GÊM YN YSTOD YR WYTHNOS RYNGWLADOL. HEB GOLLI UNWAITH AC YN BERCHEN AR RECORD AMDDIFFYNNOL Y GRŴP, BYDD Y DDWY GÊM YMA N HANFODOL I DDIFFINIO CARFAN DANIEL ISAILA. Sicrhaodd dwy gôl gan George Puscas fuddugoliaeth i Romania yng ngêm agoriadol eu hymgyrch ragbrofol gyda buddugoliaeth o 2-0 dros Lichstenstein yn Eschen ym mis Mehefin. Roedd Puscas ar y marc unwaith eto pan ddaeth ei dîm o r tu ôl yn erbyn Bosnia a Herzegovina ym mis Medi i ennill o 3-1, gan gynnal y dechreuad perffaith i w hymgyrch. Aeth Romania yn ôl i Ovidiu i wynebu r Swistir rhai dyddiau n ddiweddarach ac er bod Dimitri Oberlin wedi rhoi r ymwelwyr ar y blaen hanner ffordd drwy r hanner cyntaf, parhaodd Puscas yn fygythiad gyda gôl gyfartal ychydig funudau n ddiweddarach, a dyna sut arhosodd hi. Daeth y ddau dîm at ei gilydd eto yn Lugano fis diwethaf a Romania fyddai n cymryd y pwyntiau, wrth i goliau gan Mihai Dobre a Alexandru Cicaldau sicrhau buddugoliaeth o 2-0 i dîm Isaila. Gyda phedair gôl mewn pedair gêm, bydd George Puscas yn sicr yn un i w wylio pan fydd y tîm yn wynebu Cymru, yn enwedig gan fod yntau n brofiadol ac wedi chwarae 17 gêm ar y lefel yma. Ar hyn o bryd mae ar fenthyg i glwb Benevento yn yr Eidal gam Inter Milan ac ef sgoriodd y gôl wnaeth sicrhau dyrchafiad y clwb i Serie A nôl ym mis Mehefin. Bydd cefnogwyr Cymru efallai n adnabod y chwaraewr canol cae, Marco Dulca, sydd ar hyn o bryd yn chwarae i dîm ieuenctid Abertawe. Dim ond unwaith mae Romania wedi cymhwyso ar gyfer rowndiau terfynol twrnamaint dan 21 UEFA pan enillon nhw pob un o u 8 gêm nôl yn Cafodd y rowndiau terfynol eu cynnal yn Romania ond roedd colli i r Iseldiroedd o 2-1 yn y rownd agoriadol yn ddigon i ddod â u gobeithion a u rhan yn y twrnaimaint i ben. Gydag wyth tîm yn unig yn y rowndiau terfynol, Sbaen oedd yn fuddugol

4 CYMRU Y STORI HYD YN HYN WALES THE STORY SO FAR A SOLID START TO THE UEFA UNDER- 21 QUALIFYING CAMPAIGN HAS SEEN NEW INTERMEDIATE TEAM MANAGER ROB PAGE ENJOY TWO VICTORIES FROM HIS OPENING THREE AWAY GAMES, AND THE FORMER WALES DEFENDER WILL NOW BE LOOKING FOR HIS SIDE TO BUILD ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE START WITH TWO HOME GAMES AGAINST BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND ROMANIA. The Group 8 qualifying action started for Wales back in September, and Page s side made an immediate impression on their rivals with a 3-0 win away to Switzerland through goals from Tyler Roberts, David Brooks and George Thomas. We were excellent, enthused Page as he reflected on the convincing victory. We showed all of our qualities there and we showed why we re contenders to get through this group. Now we need to build on that. However, a 2-0 defeat to an impressive Portugal side in Chaves a few days later dented their progress, but they made amends last month with a 3-1 victory in Liechtenstein. Matthew Smith scoring the third goal to add to a George Thomas brace. We ve had three tough away games to kick this campaign off, explained Thomas after the match. So we re very happy with six points, but now it s vital that we get six points from the two home games. Currently level with Bosnia and Herzegovina, this is a crucial double-header for the side against two strong opponents, but Page believes his side are ready for the challenge ahead. Six points out of a potential nine is a great start and it sets us up nicely for the two home games, explained Page recently. Our aim is to get to the Christmas break with the table looking good. That s all the incentive these boys need right now. There s more to come from this group and that s exciting. Wales have never qualified for the finals of the UEFA Under-21 tournament, but were narrowly edged out of a place back in Rivals England were the play-off opponents for Brian Flynn s side back then, but a 5-4 aggregate victory ensured that England would head to Sweden at Wales expense. England subsequently went through to the final, but suffered a 4-0 defeat to Germany. MAE RHEOLWR NEWYDD Y TÎM CANOLRADD, ROB PAGE, WEDI MWYNHAU DECHRAU CRYF I R YMGYRCH GYMHWYSO DAN 21 UEFA GAN SICRHAU DWY FUDDUGOLIAETH O U TAIR GÊM AGORIADOL ODDI CARTREF. BYDD CYN-AMDDIFFYNNWR CYMRU NAWR YN DISGWYL I W GARFAN ADEILADU AR EU DECHREUAD TRAWIADOL GYDA DWY GÊM GARTREF YN ERBYN BOSNIA A HERZEGOVINA A ROMANIA. Dechreuodd ymgyrch Cymru yn Grŵp 8 yn ôl ym mis Medi, gyda charfan Rob Page yn creu cryn argraff ar eu gwrthwynebwyr yn syth, trwy sicrhau buddugoliaeth oddi cartref yn erbyn y Swistir gyda goliau gan Tyler Roberts, David Brooks a George Thomas. Roedden ni n wych, dywedodd Page wrth iddo fyfyrio ar y fuddugoliaeth argyhoeddiadol. Fe ddangosom ein holl gryfderau a sefydlu ein hunain fel cystadleuwyr credadwy yn y grŵp. Nawr mae angen i ni adeiladu ar hynny. Ar ôl eu dechreuad cryf, collodd y tîm o 2-0 i dîm Portiwgal gref yn Chaves ychydig o ddyddiau n ddiweddarach. Ond, fe wnaethon nhw gywiro r sefyllfa fis diwethaf gyda buddugoliaeth o 3-1 yn Liechtenstein. Sgoriodd Matthew Smith y drydedd gôl gan ychwanegu at ddau gan George Thomas. Ry ni wedi dechrau r ymgyrch gyda thair gêm anodd oddi cartref, esboniodd Thomas wedi r gêm. Felly ry ni n hapus iawn gyda r chwe phwynt ond erbyn hyn mae n hanfodol ein bod ni n ennill chwe phwynt arall o r ddwy gêm gartref yma. Mae r tîm ar hyn o bryd yn lefel ar bwyntiau gyda Bosnia a Herzegovina, felly mae r ddwy gêm nesaf yn holl bwysig - ond mae Page yn benderfynol bod ei garfan yn barod ar gyfer yr her sydd i ddod. Mae ennill chwe phwynt allan o r naw oedd yn bosib yn ddechrau gwych i n hymgyrch ac mae n rhoi ni mewn sefyllfa gref ar gyfer y ddwy gêm adref yma, esboniodd Page yn ddiweddar. Ein nod yw cyrraedd gwyliau r Nadolig mewn safle cryf yn y tabl. Dyna r unig gymhelliant sydd ei angen ar y bechgyn ar hyn o bryd. Mae yna fwy i ddod o r grŵp yma ac mae hynny n gyffrous. Nid yw Cymru erioed wedi cymhwyso ar gyfer rowndiau terfynol twrnamaint Dan 21 UEFA, ond fe wnaethon nhw ddod yn agos nôl yn Lloegr oedd gwrthwynebwyr tîm Brian Flynn yn eu gêm ail gyfle ar y pryd a nhw, nid Cymru, lwyddodd i sicrhau lle yn y rowndiau terfynol yn Sweden gyda buddugoliaeth o 5-4 dros ddwy gêm. Aeth Lloegr ymlaen yr holl ffordd i r gêm derfynol, cyn colli o 4-1 yn erbyn yr Almaen

5 LUDLOW LEADING WOMEN S WORLD CUP PUSH MANAGER JAYNE LUDLOW WILL BE HOPING THAT THE WALES FANS CAN HELP MAKE CARDIFF CITY STADIUM A A FORTRESS FOR HER SIDE AS THE 2019 FIFA WOMEN S WORLD CUP QUALIFYING CAMPAIGN CONTINUES HERE AGAINST KAZAKHSTAN ON FRIDAY, 24 NOVEMBER (7PM). Wales currently top Group 1 ahead of Bosnia- Herzegovina and England who meet each other in Walsall on the same evening. The campaign began for Ludlow and her side with a 1-0 victory over Kazakhstan in Astana back in September as experienced headliner Jess Fishlock scored the only goal of the game with a superb volley. A well-earned point from a 0-0 draw with Russia in St. Petersburg last month moved Wales to the top of the group, and they will be looking to build on their excellent start when Kazakhstan make the long journey to the Welsh capital. The girls understand that this is a long competition, and that it s important to go to places like Russia and get something, said Ludlow following the 0-0 draw. We re a developing team, and we re still a young team with regard to these players playing together. We ve got two big games coming up which can hopefully set us up for next year when we finish off this campaign. Four days after hosting Kazakhstan, Wales travel to Zenica to take on Bosnia- Herzegovina, and while the demands of such a short turnaround will prove testing, the side then take a break from qualification until they make the short journey to England next April. The match in Zenica will mark the halfway point of the campaign, but Wales will be encouraged by the fact that they will play their final three qualifiers against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Russia and England at home. A similar situation proved to be the catalyst to the last qualifying campaign ending on a high, and if the side can remain in contention heading into the final stages, it will make for a very exciting conclusion to the group. Wales are no strangers to Kazakhstan having been drawn against them in qualifying for the 2017 UEFA Women s EURO finals. The opening match against Kazakhstan took place in November 2015 at Haverfordwest, and substitute Helen Ward proved to be the second half hero, as the striker came off the bench to score a hat-trick after Natasha Harding had handed her side the lead. It was Wales first win of the campaign and provided Ludlow and her side with a huge lift heading into the second half of fixtures. The return match against Kazakhstan took place in April 2016 and it was Ward who again impressed with a brace of goals. Her efforts were matched by Kayleigh Green as she added two goals of her own to make it an impressive double victory. Despite their defensive frailties, Kazakhstan did finish off the bottom of group, but showed in Astana how much they have improved since the last campaign. Ludlow will be keen to ensure that her side do not take their opponents for granted when the two sides meet in Cardiff, and having claimed four points and two clean sheets in their opening two games, it is vital that the side build on what has already been an impressive start.

Ar hyn o bryd mae Cymru ar frig Grŵp 1 o flaen Bosnia-Herzegovina a Lloegr sy n chwarae yn erbyn ei gilydd yn Walsall ar yr un noson. Dechreuodd ymgyrch Ludlow a i charfan gyda buddugoliaeth o 1-0 yn erbyn Casachstan yn Astana nôl ym mis Medi, gyda Jess Fishlock yn sgorio unig gôl y gêm gyda foli anhygoel. Roedd pwynt cadarn o u gêm gyfartal yn erbyn Rwsia yn St Petersburg fis diwethaf yn ddigon i roi Cymru ar frig y grŵp a bydd y garfan yn gobeithio adeiladu ar eu dechreuad gwych pan fydd Casachstan yn gwneud y daith hir i n prifddinas. Mae r merched yn deall fod hon yn gystadleuaeth hir ac mae n bwysig mynd i lefydd fel Rwsia a sicrhau pwyntiau, meddai Ludlow yn dilyn y gêm gyfartal 0-0. Ry ni n dîm sy n datblygu a ry ni dal yn dîm ifanc Gyda dwy gêm fawr o n blaenau y gobaith yw gallu rhoi ein hunain mewn sefyllfa gref ar gyfer diwedd yr ymgyrch y flwyddyn nesaf. Bedwar diwrnod ar ôl chwarae yn erbyn Casachstan yng Nghaerdydd, bydd Cymru n teithio i Zenica i wynebu Bosnia-Herzegovina. Er bod chwarae dwy gêm mewn cyfnod mor fyr yn heriol, mae r garfan yn cael seibiant o r ymgyrch nes iddyn nhw wneud y siwrne fyr dros y ffin i Loegr fis Ebrill nesaf. Bydd y gêm yn Zenica yn nodi pwynt hanner ffordd yr ymgyrch ond bydd yn hwb i Gymru eu bod yn chwarae eu tair gêm ragbrofol olaf adref yn erbyn Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwsia a Lloegr. Gwnaeth sefyllfa debyg yn eu hymgyrch gymhwyso olaf eu helpu i orffen yr ymgyrch ar nodyn uchel. Os all y garfan gadw eu hunain yn y ras nes y gemau olaf, mae posibilrwydd o ddiweddglo cyffrous iawn i r grŵp. Nid yw Casachstan yn ddieithriaid i Gymru, gyda r ddwy garfan yn yr un grŵp rhagbrofol ar gyfer EWRO 2017 Merched UEFA. Cafodd y gêm agoriadol yn erbyn Casachstan ei chynnal yn Hwlffordd nôl ym mis Tachwedd 2015, gyda r eilydd Helen Ward yn serennu fel arwr yr ail hanner. Ar ôl dod oddi ar y fainc, sgoriodd dair gôl i adeiladu ar waith Natasha Harding. Dyma oedd buddugoliaeth gyntaf yr ymgyrch i Gymru a rhoddodd hwb enfawr i Ludlow a i charfan wrth ddechrau ail hanner yr ymgyrch. Yn Ebrill 2016 cafwyd gêm oddi cartref yn erbyn Casachstan ac Ward eto fu n serennu gan sgorio dwy gôl. Dilynodd Kayleigh Green ei hesiampl gan ychwanegu dwy gôl ei hun a sicrhau dwy fuddugoliaeth argyhoeddedig. Gorffennodd Casachstan ar waelod y grŵp ond, er eu hamddiffyn bregus, dangosodd y garfan yn Astana cymaint yr oedden nhw wedi gwella ers yr ymgyrch diwethaf. Bydd Ludlow yn awyddus i sicrhau fod ei charfan ddim yn cymryd eu gwrthwynebwyr yn ganiataol pan fydd y ddau dîm yn cyfarfod yng Nghaerdydd. Wedi ennill 4 pwynt a heb ildio gôl yn eu dwy gêm agoriadol, mae n hanfodol fod yn garfan yn adeiladu ar ddechreuad gwych. I fod yn rhan o r gêm ragbrofol hanfodol hon, mae tocynnau ar werth nawr am 5 yn unig i oedolion a 2 i gonsesiynau.
