-Bryn versus Dwyran...

0:00:220:00:23

-..chronicles an important football

-match played in the early fifties.

0:00:240:00:29

-The film-maker, Dr John Glyn Jones,

-lived in Brynsiencyn.

0:00:320:00:36

-He was a GP in this part of

-Anglesey for almost thirty years.

0:00:360:00:41

-The doctor

-made numerous short films.

0:00:420:00:45

-They provide an unique insight

-into the villagers' everyday lives.

0:00:450:00:51

-He brought his camera along

-on his doctor's round.

0:00:540:00:57

-He filmed everything that happened.

0:00:570:01:00

-I was interested

-in one film in particular.

0:01:010:01:05

-The Brynsiencyn v Dwyran game.

0:01:050:01:09

-Shout if you recognize someone,

-and I'll stop it.

0:01:090:01:13

-That's Brynsiencyn's team.

0:01:130:01:15

-Elfed lived in Llanrug.

0:01:170:01:19

-Gwyn from Llanfairpwll, Dei Bach.

0:01:190:01:22

-Llew Jones, Glyn King.

0:01:230:01:25

-Do you remember the game?

0:01:260:01:26

-Do you remember the game?

-

-I was there. That's John.

0:01:260:01:30

-I think that was Margaret Williams.

0:01:310:01:32

-I think that was Margaret Williams.

-

-The singer? Never!

0:01:320:01:36

-That was Busby, the manager.

-Jones the paper.

0:01:370:01:41

-My grandfather.

0:01:420:01:43

-As the bar filled, I met Idris,

-the former Brynsiencyn goalkeeper.

0:01:460:01:51

-I played for two years

-before joining the Army.

0:01:520:01:56

-I played for Newborough

-for three years after coming home.

0:01:570:02:02

-I returned to Bryn in the sixties.

0:02:020:02:04

-Did you witness the team's demise?

0:02:050:02:07

-Did you witness the team's demise?

-

-Yes.

0:02:070:02:08

-What year was that?

0:02:090:02:10

-1960, I think.

0:02:110:02:13

-Have the villagers

-lost interest in football?

0:02:130:02:17

-We don't have a team,

-but everyone watches it on TV.

0:02:170:02:21

-Derby games still pull crowds

-in Brynsiencyn...

0:02:250:02:29

-..as long as

-it's Everton and Liverpool.

0:02:300:02:33

-Some of the older boys

-saw the film at half-time.

0:02:410:02:45

-Gavin Hughes was one.

0:02:450:02:47

-Would they like to make a new film?

0:02:490:02:51

-This is the Dwyran team. Bryn

-was the previous team, in squares.

0:02:520:02:57

-The old film seemed

-to capture their imagination.

0:02:580:03:02

-Creating a new film

-on the same theme posed a problem.

0:03:020:03:06

-We'd need to assemble a team

-to do something similar today.

0:03:070:03:12

-Would you be interested

-to play a one-off?

0:03:140:03:17

-Yes.

0:03:170:03:18

-The packed pub proves that

-football is still popular.

0:03:190:03:23

-It's taken a different direction.

0:03:240:03:26

-It might kick-start a village team.

0:03:270:03:30

-The lads were keen to reform a team.

0:03:340:03:37

-We collected names.

0:03:370:03:39

-I was optimistic that a Brynsiencyn

-team could be filmed once again.

0:03:410:03:46

-But I faced another challenge.

-Dwyran doesn't have a team, either.

0:03:470:03:53

-Hello, Gus Williams?

0:03:530:03:55

-Hello, Gus Williams?

-

-How are you?

0:03:550:03:56

-I found your number

-on the Anglesey Council website.

0:03:560:04:00

-You're the

-Football Development Officer.

0:04:000:04:03

-Yes.

0:04:040:04:05

-Bryn versus who would it be?

0:04:050:04:07

-Where's the closest team?

0:04:080:04:10

-The closest team in that area

-would be Newborough.

0:04:100:04:15

-Newborough? Right.

0:04:160:04:17

-Gus gave me the Newborough manager's

-name and address, Paul Hamson.

0:04:250:04:30

-Would they play

-against Brynsiencyn's new team?

0:04:310:04:36

-He agreed immediately.

0:04:360:04:38

-Gus is a football historian.

0:04:380:04:42

-I wanted to establish

-exactly when the game was played.

0:04:430:04:47

-Dwyran first played in

-the Anglesey league in 1947-48.

0:04:480:04:53

-That's Dwyran and Brynsiencyn.

0:04:530:04:55

-Do you know the year

-of the Dwyran-Brynsiencyn game?

0:04:560:05:00

-No.

0:05:010:05:02

-According to this...

0:05:020:05:04

-..Dwyran and Brynsiencyn

-were last in the league in 1950-51.

0:05:040:05:09

-Their last encounter

-would have been in 1951.

0:05:090:05:12

-Yes.

0:05:130:05:15

-We looked at

-the Anglesey League tables...

0:05:150:05:18

-..to compare Newborough

-and Brynsiencyn's records.

0:05:190:05:22

-They headed the table that year.

0:05:240:05:27

-The old players mentioned a rivalry

-between Brynsiencyn and Newborough.

0:05:270:05:32

-Is that still there today?

0:05:320:05:34

-I don't know.

-Perhaps not so much today!

0:05:340:05:38

-They complained Newborough

-stole their best players.

0:05:410:05:45

-They didn't want

-to play for a bad side!

0:05:450:05:48

-I returned to Brynsiencyn

-to meet up with Gavin Hughes.

0:05:520:05:57

-He agreed to be one

-of the new team's organizers.

0:05:570:06:01

-Have you been training yet?

0:06:010:06:02

-Have you been training yet?

-

-No.

0:06:020:06:03

-We're playing on Sunday

-just down the road.

0:06:040:06:08

-Will you get a chance

-to film what's going on?

0:06:080:06:13

-Some sort of record

-would be handy...

0:06:140:06:17

-..like the doctor's film.

0:06:180:06:20

-I wanted to know

-more about the doctor...

0:06:240:06:27

-..who documented the Brynsiencyn

-area so extensively.

0:06:270:06:31

-I arranged to meet one

-of his daughters, Annes Glyn.

0:06:340:06:38

-We visited

-their first home in the village.

0:06:380:06:41

-It's hardly changed at all,

-apart from the colour.

0:06:410:06:45

-I remember the little

-bedroom window and the shutters.

0:06:460:06:50

-It's almost sixty years ago!

0:06:510:06:54

-It's one

-of my father's famous films.

0:06:550:06:58

-It's been sought after recently.

0:06:580:07:01

-I think it does portray

-a bygone era.

0:07:010:07:06

-Everyone went

-on the Sunday School trip.

0:07:080:07:10

-People tended to take their own

-cars, but there were buses too.

0:07:110:07:15

-Pritchard Niwbwrch buses.

0:07:160:07:17

-Pritchard Niwbwrch buses.

-

-They were our school buses.

0:07:170:07:21

-He began filming

-after we started walking.

0:07:310:07:34

-He inherited his uncle's equipment.

0:07:340:07:38

-That's how he started.

0:07:390:07:41

-That's Mam.

0:07:420:07:42

-That's Mam.

-

-And your father.

0:07:420:07:44

-Someone else must have filmed it.

0:07:440:07:47

-Was that their car?

0:07:470:07:49

-It looks like their first car,

-the one they had when they married.

0:07:490:07:55

-Annes took me

-to Horeb chapel in the village...

0:07:590:08:03

-..where her father

-screened his films.

0:08:030:08:07

-After the first session,

-a second crowd came in.

0:08:070:08:13

-Was there a second sitting?

0:08:140:08:15

-Was there a second sitting?

-

-Yes.

0:08:150:08:16

-People were thrilled to see

-loved ones, relatives and friends...

0:08:170:08:24

-..moving across the screen.

0:08:240:08:27

-People became emotional.

0:08:270:08:29

-They could see their relatives...

0:08:300:08:32

-..coming back to life on the screen.

0:08:330:08:35

-I returned the following day

-to meet Rev Geraint Roberts.

0:08:410:08:46

-These are the Assembly Rooms.

0:08:510:08:53

-This is where

-the films were screened.

0:08:530:08:57

-What end were they shown?

0:08:570:08:59

-What end were they shown?

-

-I assume on the stage.

0:08:590:09:01

-Could we show our film here?

0:09:030:09:08

-I can't see why not.

0:09:080:09:10

-It would trigger

-a lot of happy memories.

0:09:110:09:15

-Football is part of the history.

0:09:150:09:19

-I'm looking for

-a playing field for the game.

0:09:200:09:25

-There's a newly-opened

-astro-turf in the village.

0:09:260:09:30

-Oh, right?

0:09:310:09:33

-That's for the youngsters.

0:09:330:09:35

-This is great

-for filming the supporters...

0:09:380:09:42

-..watching the game.

0:09:430:09:44

-It's ideal for a five-a-side game.

0:09:450:09:47

-If we get a full team,

-we'd need a full-size field.

0:09:480:09:53

-The next question is... Can

-Brynsiencyn assemble a full team?

0:09:540:09:59

-I met Gavin in Bangor

-after his shift in the bookies.

0:10:020:10:07

-How's it going?

0:10:090:10:09

-How's it going?

-

-There's plenty of interest.

0:10:090:10:11

-Is there enough for a full team?

0:10:130:10:15

-Yes, and substitutions.

0:10:150:10:17

-I've got 15 at the moment,

-perhaps a few more.

0:10:180:10:22

-Right, OK.

0:10:230:10:24

-The village all-weather pitch

-would be good.

0:10:240:10:29

-But that's a five-a-side pitch.

0:10:300:10:32

-What are

-your earliest football memories?

0:10:390:10:43

-Playing in the park

-on cold Saturday mornings.

0:10:430:10:47

-The ball was so hard,

-it hit our legs and heads!

0:10:470:10:51

-All we did was play football,

-all day, every day.

0:10:510:10:55

-What if you couldn't play football?

0:10:560:10:59

-I'd watch telly,

-or play on the Xbox.

0:11:020:11:05

-Perhaps that's why I'm single!

0:11:060:11:08

-Football is what

-it's all about around here.

0:11:090:11:13

-There's nothing else much

-to do around here.

0:11:170:11:21

-According to Gavin,

-the village lads were football-mad.

0:11:260:11:30

-But when Gavin

-reached the all-weather pitch...

0:11:350:11:39

-..for the first training session...

0:11:390:11:41

-..it was as silent as the grave.

0:11:420:11:44

-Gav's been to the park, and no-one's

-there. He's been there half an hour!

0:11:490:11:54

-Get out of bed!

0:11:590:12:01

-Hello. Are you getting up?

0:12:040:12:06

-I've just phoned Rich.

-He's ill in bed!

0:12:080:12:12

-Rich was meant to phone Huw.

0:12:140:12:17

-He's still in bed.

0:12:210:12:23

-It's all Rich's fault.

0:12:240:12:26

-It didn't matter whose fault it was.

0:12:290:12:31

-But without a team,

-Gavin wouldn't have a film, either.

0:12:320:12:36

-.

0:12:370:12:37

-888

0:12:440:12:46

-Rich eventually got out of bed.

0:12:520:12:54

-They started

-to discuss the opposition.

0:12:540:12:58

-I watched Newborough recently,

-and they lost.

0:12:590:13:02

-They're tough. They're in the lead.

0:13:030:13:05

-I'm quite confident.

0:13:060:13:07

-I left the lads training.

0:13:240:13:26

-I went to meet Terry Roberts.

0:13:270:13:29

-From Brynsiencyn, he has

-several links to the old team.

0:13:290:13:33

-That's my father.

0:13:340:13:37

-Well, well. Can I compare?

0:13:370:13:39

-The same chin and face.

0:13:400:13:43

-When did you start

-marking the field?

0:13:440:13:46

-When I was eleven.

0:13:460:13:48

-I had a bag of chalk and a bucket.

0:13:480:13:52

-We didn't use water, just our hands.

0:13:520:13:55

-Hand in the bucket.

0:13:560:13:59

-It was miserable

-in cold, wet weather.

0:13:590:14:03

-According to Terry, supporting

-football wasn't exclusive to men.

0:14:040:14:09

-The girls came on buses.

0:14:100:14:12

-It was fun whether we won or lost.

0:14:130:14:17

-Ann Williams Groeslon

-was one of the girls on the buses.

0:14:190:14:23

-I went over to her house next.

0:14:240:14:26

-Edwen and I went every Saturday.

0:14:260:14:30

-The bus would be packed!

0:14:310:14:33

-Newborough was our greatest enemy.

0:14:340:14:37

-Everyone turned out

-for the Bryn and Newborough games.

0:14:380:14:42

-That was always a big game.

0:14:430:14:45

-The Bryn and Newborough derby

-attracted crowds many years ago.

0:14:520:14:56

-I had to ensure

-a worthy turnout for our derby.

0:14:570:15:00

-Take one!

0:15:020:15:03

-Have you heard

-about tomorrow's game?

0:15:040:15:07

-No.

0:15:070:15:08

-DOG BARKS

0:15:080:15:10

-If you haven't got

-anything better to do...!

0:15:120:15:15

-Do you live in Bryn?

0:15:180:15:19

-Do you live in Bryn?

-

-No. We built the pitch.

0:15:190:15:21

-Watch it!

0:15:230:15:24

-I thought it was Bryn versus Dwyran.

0:15:250:15:26

-I thought it was Bryn versus Dwyran.

-

-That was the plan.

0:15:260:15:28

-It was hard

-enough getting one new team!

0:15:280:15:31

-The reaction in Brynsiencyn

-was quite promising.

0:15:330:15:37

-But things were

-quieter in Newborough.

0:15:370:15:41

-Never mind!

0:15:470:15:48

-I'd arranged to visit

-Brynsiencyn junior school...

0:15:520:15:57

-..to get the youngsters interested.

0:15:580:16:00

-Would you rather

-collect cards or play football?

0:16:050:16:09

-Both of them.

0:16:090:16:11

-Would you collect

-Anglesey team cards?

0:16:110:16:14

-Yes.

0:16:150:16:16

-Are you coming to the game tomorrow?

0:16:160:16:19

-Where is it?

0:16:190:16:21

-Where is it?

-

-Newborough.

0:16:210:16:22

-Can I give you one?

0:16:230:16:24

-Can I give you one?

-

-Of course, we're coming tomorrow.

0:16:240:16:26

-The day of the big match arrived.

0:16:400:16:43

-Paul Hamson marked the field,

-just like Terry Roberts before him.

0:16:430:16:49

-The latter kept a watchful eye.

0:16:500:16:53

-Our goal was to bridge the years...

0:16:580:17:02

-..weaving memories of yesteryear...

0:17:020:17:06

-..with Gavin and our material.

0:17:060:17:09

-The battlefield

-was ready for the old enemies.

0:17:170:17:20

-Tic Tacs?

0:18:000:18:02

-I'll have one!

0:18:020:18:04

-Name and number.

0:18:050:18:05

-Name and number.

-

-Two.

0:18:050:18:06

-Gavin Hughes, Number 8.

0:18:070:18:08

-Gavin Hughes, Number 8.

-

-Steven Owens, Number 11.

0:18:080:18:09

-What number are you?

0:18:100:18:11

-What number are you?

-

-Ten.

0:18:110:18:12

-Fifteen.

0:18:120:18:14

-It took ten minutes

-to reach the Newborough pitch.

0:18:330:18:37

-The pre-match tension

-was beginning to take effect.

0:18:370:18:41

-Don't keep pointing that thing

-at me! Point it that way.

0:18:420:18:46

-Point the camera at yourself!

0:18:460:18:48

-TEAM TALK

0:19:430:19:46

-The lads discussed

-last-minute tactics.

0:19:470:19:50

-I noticed they weren't all lads.

0:19:500:19:53

-Karen Parry Jones was playing

-in the goal for Brynsiencyn.

0:19:530:19:57

-And then, quite a coincidence.

0:20:000:20:02

-So, your great-uncle

-held the sign in the original.

0:20:030:20:06

-Yes.

0:20:070:20:09

-WHISTLE

0:20:160:20:17

-Even though Dr John Glyn Jones

-filmed a football game...

0:20:270:20:31

-..very little

-of the game itself is featured.

0:20:310:20:35

-The doctor preferred

-to film the supporters.

0:20:360:20:39

-We'd have to reflect

-that in our version, too.

0:20:400:20:43

-Half-time score

0:21:140:21:16

-Football is a game of two halves.

0:21:180:21:20

-Filming and organizing
