Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Erbyn y 1930au, roedd tîm rygbi Coleg Dewi Sant, Llanbedr Pont Steffan, wedi ennill enw aruthrol o dda. Capten y tîm, Geoffrey Crawshay, oedd sylfaenydd yr enwog Crawshays' Welsh XV, ac fe'i clywyd unwaith yn dweud, 'Pryd bynnag y byddaf yn clywed yr ymadrodd 'the church militant', yr wyf bob amser yn meddwl am y XV Llambed ar y maes'. Roedd Major Cliff Jones, y maswr enwog, ac yn ddiweddarach, Llywydd Undeb Rygbi Cymru, hefyd yn cofio chwarae i Goleg Llanymddyfri yn erbyn Coleg Llanbedr Pont Steffan, profiad a arweiniodd i ddod i'r casgliad; 'any resemblance between rampaging theological forwards and the men who later wore the dog-collar with such piety and distinction, is purely accidental! 'Pan adroddwyd am ddigwyddiad yn ymwneud â tîm rygbi Coleg Llanbedr Pont Steffan yn y Carmarthen Journal dan y pennawd 'The Fighting Parsons Fighting, gafaelodd yr enw. Fodd bynnag, mae'r enw da yn seiliedig ar hanes llawer hŷn a disglair. Mae'r llyfr hwn yn dathlu'r ffaith bod rheolau pêl-droed Ysgol Rygbi wedi eu cyflwyno am y tro cyntaf i Gymru yng Ngholeg Dewi Sant, Llanbedr Pont Steffan, yn 1850 gan y Parch Dr. Rowland Williams. Roedd yna glwb pêl-droed rygbi yng Ngholeg Llanbedr Pont Steffan yn aros am yr holl glybiau eraill yng Nghymru i gael eu sefydlu. Mae hwn yn gyfle i ail gyflywno'r wybodaeth honno, a'r derbyniad cyffredinol mai Llambed oedd y 'Man Geni Rygbi yng Nghymru'.

By the 1930s the rugby team of St. David's College, Lampeter, had gained a formidable reputation. Captain Geoffrey Crawshay, founder of the famous Crawshay's Welsh XV, was once heard to say, 'Whenever I hear the phrase 'the Church militant', I always think of the Lampeter XV on the field'. Major Cliff Jones, that great Welsh outside-half, and later President of the Welsh Rugby Union, also remembered playing for Llandovery College against Lampeter College, an experience which led him to conclude that 'any resemblance between rampaging theological forwards and the men who later wore the dog-collar with such piety and distinction, is purely accidental!' When an incident involving the Lampeter College rugby team was reported in the Carmarthen Journal under the heading 'The Fighting Parsons,' the name stuck. However, that reputation was based on a much older and illustrious history. This book celebrates the fact that the Rugby School rules of football were first introduced into Wales at St. David's College, Lampeter, in 1850 by the Rev. Dr. Rowland Williams. There was a rugby football club in Lampeter College waiting for all the other clubs in Wales to be founded. This is an opportunity to rekindle that knowledge, and the universal acceptance that Lampeter was the 'Birthplace of Rugby Football in Wales'.
