Pen-y-Bont FC (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-droed Pen-y-Bont) is a Welsh football club formed in 2013 following the merger of Bridgend Town F.C. and Bryntirion Athletic F.C. and will play in the Welsh Football League Division One for season 2013/14.

The Bryntirion Park ground.

Pen-y-Bont will play their home matches at Bryntirion Park, whilst retaining the Brewery Field as an alternative venue which meets Football Association of Wales ground standards, should the club be promoted to the Welsh Premier League.

The club has installed third generation artificial turf at Bryntirion Park and the Bridgend College Football Academy in Pencoed. This will allow the club to maintain a high pitch quality standard in adverse conditions and was funded through the sale of Bridgend Town's former Coychurch Road ground to superstore giant ASDA. [1]

The new pitch was officially opened by ex Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay on January 7th, 2014 with a friendly game played against a Cardiff Developmental XI on the same afternoon. Cardiff's development team won the match 5-0. [2] [3]
